Because the fertility level of the soil affect the its productivity, manure quality is affected by the ingredients which are used in making compost. Being the backbone of soil, compost is a nutrient that matters for the plant to be health and its is made at a square metre for home garden from nitrogen, carbon and activators. A farmer should use, 30:1 nitrogen carbon ratio and the nitrogen sources are green materials while for carbon is strawl and corn.

Crop management

As weeds contain good compost activators, any alkaline lime is not good for making compost. First loosen the soils under neatrh the compost pit for earation, put a layer of carbon on soil and a layer of nitrogen and follow it by adding a layer of cartons and a layer of biomass.
Similarly, add soil from garden and compost from previous compost as these contain bacteria and fungi for increased decomposition and repeat the process and add water after last layer and cover with polythene. Temperature raises to 70 degrees centigrade inside the compost for th next 48 hours aned the compost break down to half with in a week of decomposition and breaks down by a third with in 2 weeks.
Finally add more water and activators.
