The experimental trial evaluated the first 24 weeks of the composting process. The 6 weeks of the feeding phase followed by the 18 weeks when no waste was added to the compost for all treatments. Moisture content during composting was monitored qualitatively twice a week using the “fist test”. This involves squeezing a compost sample in the fist; if water emerges from the fist, then the sample is too wet. The moisture content is suitable (approximately 50–60%) if the pressed sample does not release water but remains compact; if it crumbles apart when released, it is too dry (FCQAO, 1994). During the last weeks of the process the handling of the bins was reduced to the minimum, consisting only of manual turning and watering when compost humidity was less than 50%. According to the results of the Dewar self-heating test, the composting process was considered ended 18 weeks after the last waste addition, when all the compost reached the Rottegrade degree of V. The resulting composts were sampled, taking 6 sub-samples for each bin at three different depths. Subsequently, the sub-samples were mixed and reduced to one final sample of 3 L using the quarter method (TMECC, 2002). In the end, the final sample was sieved on a 16 mm mesh and characterized by physicochemical analysis.
