    This document provides instructions for producing organic fertilizer through composting. It discusses selecting an appropriate site with good drainage and ventilation. The compost bed should be prepared and raw materials collected in a ratio of 3 parts carbon source to 1 part nitrogen source. Common carbon sources include rice straw, sawdust, and banana trunk, while nitrogen sources are manures and leaves such as from kakawate. The materials are piled and composted using appropriate methods like turning, and the finished compost is harvested and tested for quality.

    LO 1: Prepare Composting Area and Raw Materials
     Select site

    Characteristics of good composting site


    a. good drainage (no flood)
    b. Availability of water supply
    c. Proximity to the source of raw materials
    d. Area with minimum or less contamination
    e. Well ventilated

     Prepare bed

     Collection of raw materials/substrate


    Raw materials for composting
    C:N source (3:1 or 1:1) (75:25)
    N Source – Manure & Kakawate Leaves
    C Source – Rice Straw & Banana Trunk
    3:1 – = 100 kg (75kg C: 25kg N)
    75 kg C – 35 k of rice straw + 35 kg banana trunk
    25 kg N – 12.5 kg Manure + 12.5 kg of kakawate leaves
     Carbon source (crop residue)
     Rice straw
     Sawdust
     coco coir
     corn stalks
     banana trunk/leaves
     kitchen waste
     paper

     Nitrogen source
     All manure except cat and dog
