Short Answer:
No
Long Answer:
The essence of composting is a dynamic process achieved by the interaction of multiple microbial communities with very rapid community structure succession.
The initial heating and high temperature stage can play a role in killing harmful substances such as pathogenic pathogens, insect eggs, weed seeds, etc., but the main role of microorganisms in this process also includes metabolism and reproduction, while producing a small amount of metabolites, which are neither stable nor easy to be absorbed by plants; after the cooling and decomposition period in the late stage of composting, microorganisms will carry out the humification of organic matter, and in this process produce a large number of metabolites that are beneficial to plant growth and absorption.
Therefore, traditional composting generally takes 4-6 months.
No microorganism in nature can establish an effective and stable microbial population within 24 hours, and the minimum incubation time is generally 48-72 hours, which refers to the process of adapting microorganisms to the new environment at the beginning of composting, that is, the process of domestication.
After the end of the domestication process, it enters the middle temperature growth stage and the high temperature stage, which represents the settlement of microorganisms in the reactor and the initiation of the degradation process. Therefore, if the microbiota is not added, then after drying and dehydrating through the equipment in 24 hours or even less, only the charred and dehydrated garbage is obtained, not organic fertilizer. This is also the biggest difference between GEME and other short-term waste drying processors.
So the microbiome must be added.
