One of the mottos of the Hotel Las Mariposas is “Thinking Green”!
Therefore, we recycle our organic kitchen waste.
In the end of the process we get an extremely useful humus-like substance which we need to plant our plants.
The composting method the hotel uses is called “Worm Composting” and is the easiest and fastest way to recycle food waste.
First, we collect the organic kitchen waste and put it into bigger plastic buckets.
The organic waste stays in those buckets up to three weeks.
After this follows step two!
Therefore, you need a “Worm Bin”. The Hotel Las Mariposas built a wooden box and laid it out with a plastic foil. In order to make the process of composting work, you also need a little bit of soil and of course some worms which turn the organic waste into humus.
Very important is that the compost bin is kept out of the sun, rain and cold.
Otherwise, the worms die!
After two to three months you will get your “Black Gold”, the humus!
The hotel uses this method, because it is very environment friendly and easy accomplishable.
