The quality and quantity of compost manure is determined by the raw materials uses in making the compost. Use of organic matter improve on the quality and quantity of yield.
To make compost, green and brown materials are needed as green material are high in nitrogen and wet. Fruit scraps are cut into small pieces to spread up the decomposition process. Brown materials are high in carbon and dry.
Making compost
In compost making, dont include plastics and hard wood. Use leaves mix with fruit scrap and add soil to make compost. This is to make thick layer on top of compost to prevent gnats from getting into it.
Similarly, add water to the compost to improve on decomposing process and after a few weeks, half decomposition is reached and air is allowed in the compost.
Remove top dry layer before mixing composing ingredients and mix well decomposing materials for uniformity. Add already decomposed material into fresh ones to speed up decomposition process. This is also left for another few weeks for decomposition.
Finally after 1-2 months, compost is ready for putting on crops. This improve on crop growth and yield.
