Prepare composting area and raw materials
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this module, the trainee will be able to:
 Select site is based on compost fertilizer production requirements;
 Prepare site lay-out;
 Prepare bed in accordance with production requirements;
 Gather raw materials base on production requirements; and,
 Prepare raw materials following enterprise procedure and PNS for

organic fertilizer.
Selecting Site
Worms are livestock and should be cared for in order that they may be
put to best use. As such, select a site that would be well above the flood
level, shaded, airy and where water and raw materials are easily
available. The temperature should be about 26 degrees Celsius.
Worms are living creatures which need to be cared for and protected.
They do not have skin and die when exposed to direct sunlight. The
worm beds/containers should be shaded where it is airy. Water and raw
materials are necessary and it follows that the project, to be successful
should also include cost. If the water and the raw materials will have to
brought in at considerable expense, the cost of production would
increase and impact on the viability of the project.
In summary, a good composting site has the following characteristics;
 Good drainage system
 Availability of water supply
 Proximity to the source of raw materials
 Accessibility of the composting site
 Area of minimum contamination

II ICST Page |4


lOMoARcPSD|19098749
 Area with minimal sunlight
Site Lay-out
The method of housing the worms is site specific and person specific.
Conditions obtaining in one place may not be present in another. As
such, the vermiculturist should decide what is best suited for him and his
place. However, a word of caution at this point is that for first-timers, it is
better to use tried and tested methods before modification and
combinations are done. With more experience and confidence,
modifications and combinations may be instituted. The following are the
options for the layout and housing type:
 Wormbins/wormbeds may be made of any material available
whether iron bars with plastic lining, old plastic basins, bamboo
slats or hallow blocks. The advantage of wormbins/wormbeds is
that they are movable and can be transferred at will. Care however
should be taken that they are properly protected from direct
sunlight, too much water ad natural predators. The substrate is
placed in the wormbeds where the worms feed on them.
 Windrows are piles of substrate that are decomposed before

feeding them to the worms. They usually about 1 meter wide and
at least 1 meter high and can be any length desired or practicable.
They have also to be covered either by plastic material or any
organic material that will protect the substrate and ultimately the
worms from the elements and natural predators.
 Housing structures are the best options but are also the most
expensive so will be considered when finances permit. However, if
there are abandoned structures within the site, these can be used
as well as for the purpose.
 In the more developed countries where labor is expensive, some

companies opt for mechanical systems. Again, this can be
explored when the project is big enough and finances warrant this
option because while the manpower is low, the capital expenditure
is high and hugely dependent on electricity.
Bed Preparation
Prepare the bed by selecting the site that is shaded, free from predators
and near to the water source. Arrange the hallow blocks making a bed of
1mx 3m and put bamboo stakes to strengthen the bed. Used sacks and
nylon net could be used as matting. Other materials that may be needed
in the stocking of the bed are:

II ICST Page |5


lOMoARcPSD|19098749
 Water and water sprinklers
 Plastic sheets to cover the bed
Gathering Raw Materials

In preparing the raw materials (substrate), it is helpful to consider the
source and quality, the carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio and the size of the
materials.
Source and quality
In sourcing raw materials, care should be taken that one is sure of the
quality of raw materials. If using animal manure, be sure that the animals
were not dewormed as this would also deworm your project. On the other
hand, the plant source should also be free of harmful insecticides,
fungicides and herbicides which may also decimate your worm
population.
The worms eat all organic waste and produce vermicast. However, the
quality of the vermicast and the speed of production are dependent on
several factors.
Carbon to Nitrogen Ratio (C:N)
As previously mentioned, the desired C:N ration is 70:30. To achieved
this, more than two (2) parts of carbon source with 1 part of nitrogen
source. In the rural setting, one may have the luxury of choosing and
formulating the raw materials for the substrate in which case, the
resultant vermicast is of fertilizer quality. At a higher ratio, the carbon
and nitrogen will be locked and not easily available to the plants. A low
ratio will not be able to hold the nitrogen well and it will volatilize easily.
Size of the materials
The smaller the materials being composted, the faster the process. While
shredding is not absolutely necessary, it is a vital factor in speeding up
the process. After gathering the raw materials, mix well and shred. Wet
the mixture so it feels like a damp sponge.

Compost and Harvest Fertilizer
Learning Objectives:
 Apply appropriate composting methods
 Monitor compost;
 Check harvest quality;
 Carry-out processing of compost fertilizer; and
 Perform record keeping.
Vermicomposting as the Appropriate Composting

Method
Earthworms can be classified as real earthwormsor compost

worms. The real earthworms are those which burrow deeply and are
almost near impossible to culture in captivity. They eat the soil. They do
not eat compost. They are responsible for mixing the different layers of
the soil. So, when you see that the soil in your flowerpots are in mounds
and are disappearing, that is the action of the real earthworm. Their poo
is in mounds or middens. The other kind, the compost worms are those
that live on the upper surface of the earth and they eat the compost, not
the earth. Their poo are granular but finer and are not in mounds. They
can be cultured and thus can be put to good use to produce vermicast.
Compost worm has the following characteristics:

II ICST Page |7


lOMoARcPSD|19098749
It is a true hermaphrodite, it has both the male and the

female organs but most species cannot impregnate itself. It
needs a partner to become pregnant.
When two worms come together, they both get pregnant,
It is perfectly evolved so that if you put several species
together in a wormbin, they do not cross breed.
The African night crawlers when sexually mature breed every
week and the resultant cocoon/egg/capsule can produce
from 2-10 worms. It was observed that in six months, 1,000
sexually mature worms could produce 30, 000 on the low
side. On the high side, it can go up to 120,000.
One worm divided by 2 equals 1. Only the part where the
vital organs are found will regenerate. The other half will die.
Worms are hardworking, unpaid, silent and efficient workers.
They do not demand pay increase nor to form unions. There
is no learning curve for them because they work as soon as
they are born. All they ask for are good working, living and
eating conditions. They eat their weight per day.
Farmers use fertilizers to make crops grow and the usual choice is
between organic or inorganic fertilizers. Inorganic fertilizers are factory
produced and store-bought while organic fertilizers are produced through
composting. The use of organic fertilizers is on the rise because people
are becoming aware that organic fertilizers are environment friendly, are
safe to handle, increase the fertility of the land, and produce better
tasting fruits and vegetables. While it is true that organic fertilizers have
low amounts of major plant nutrients, namely nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium, they also have high organic matter content and trace
elements that become included as a by-product in the process.
Vermicomposting is the production of compost with the use of

earthworms. This lowly creature which has remained unchanged since its
creation is now attracting attention worldwide. The process involved in
this vermicomposting technology is constant in that it utilizes organic
waste, whether plant and/or animal manure. The main objective
however, may vary depending upon the need at the moment. If the
objective is fast production of earthworms, this can be considered as
vermiculture. If the desired product is fertilizer, the process is called
vermicomposting.
In a nutshell, we go into vermicomposting to produce fertilizer. To

do this, we have to formulate our substrate so that we get the desired
carbon to nitrogen (C:N) ratio of 70:30. We get the carbon from more
than two (2) parts grass or banana bracts and the nitrogen from 1 part
animal manure or plant source. Plant sources may be kakawate, ipil-ipil,
azola, peanut, kudzu, rensoni, flamingia, mongo, etc. To increase our
worm population fast, we use animal manure, banana bracts, ipil-ipil,
II ICST Page |8


lOMoARcPSD|19098749
kakawate on a ratio mentioned above. This is vermiculture. Either

procedures produces both fertilizer and the worm biomass however, the
formulation of the substrate has to be adjusted accordingly. Also, in most
cases, the C:N ratio from vermiculture is higher and thus may just be soil
amendment albeit very good organic source.
Decomposition Process
Stage 1. Anaerobic Decomposition
Place the substrate in containers as airtight as possible or cover it

with plastic sheet. This is the anaerobic process which is to hasten the
decomposition. This is composting without air, hence the name. This
stage may last from 1 week depending upon the quantity being
processed and the size of the particles. The substrate is ready for use
when the temperature has dropped to ambient level and you can see the
appearance of white mushrooms.
Stage 2: Aerobic Decomposition
When the substrate has cooled down, place the substrate in

appropriate containers or remove the plastic sheet in the bed. This next
phase is called the aerobic stage or composting with air.
Stocking Earthworms
The rate of producing vermicast is dependent on the stocking

density vis-a’-vis the amount of substrate. We have observed that the
worms can eat faster if the substrate is not too thick perhaps because of
easier mobility. A depth of about 4-6 inches of substrate at this stage
appears to be ideal. It has been observed that 100 kilos of substrate can
be consumed within 30 days by 1 kilo of worms.
Monitoring Compost
Maintain a humidity of 80%. Protect the worms from natural

predators. Birds, chickens, frogs, mice, snakes and even pigs love to eat
worms. While ants do not eat worms, they can kill your population if left
unattended. Shade the worms from direct sunlight. Worms have no skin
and cannot withstand direct sunlight. Loosen the substrate gently and do
not allow it to get compacted. The constant watering of the beds will

II ICST Page |9


lOMoARcPSD|19098749
compact the substrate. Loosen the beds very gently when needed taking
care not to disturb the worms too much.
Practical Tip for Humidity: Test by squeezing a fistful of substrate.

Five to seven drops of water indicate about 80% humidity. Care should
be taken that the substrate is taken from the lower portion of the bed
because the upper portion might already be dry but the lower portion is
still wet.
Harvesting Compost
The earthworms are well mannered and polite. They do not like to
live with their poo. They eat the substrate and deposit their castings on
the top. In about 6-8 weeks, the substrate that was formerly identifiable
as grass and leaves becomes transformed into granular earthy material.
The decision to harvest depends on one’s needs.
Practical Tip: Compost is ready to use when it is dark brown, crumbly and
has an earthy smell.
OPTIONS:
a. Pick the worms by hand and transfer them to a new

wormbed. The vermicompost may be allowed to dry in the
shade for a few days and then sifted if finer compost is
desired.
b. In the shade, pile the vermicompost in such a manner that it
looks like a pyramid. After a day, you can harvest the top
part easily because the worms have gone to the bottom of
the pile. When you reach the bottom of the pile, you can
extract the worms manually.
c. Move the contents of the whole bed to one side. Fill the
empty half with new substrate. Allow the worms to move
freely to the new food. Harvest the castings left by the
worms.
d. Fill an onion bag with fresh food and bury it in the middle of
the bed. After a week or so, the bag will be filled with worms
which you can empty to anew wormbed. This facilitates the
gathering of most worms.
e. If you are not ready to harvest your vermicompost which is
fully eaten by the worms, place a net on top of the bed and
place a 5 cm layer of fresh substrate on top. You can delay
harvesting for about a week (depending on the volume of
II ICST P a g e | 10


lOMoARcPSD|19098749
worms in the bed) because the worms will transfer to the

new food. At the same time, when you are ready to harvest,
you can first remove the net with the food and you will see
that the worms have mostly transferred here.
If you are in a hurry and need the castings, scrape the top of the bed of
the castings deposited there. You run the danger though of losing the
eggs which may be there and have not yet hatched.
Dry your vermicompost in the shade only. Exposing organic fertilizer to

the sun will cause it to lose its nitrogen content. Vermicompost can be
stored at 30% humidity in plastic bags. Store in a cool place away from
direct sunlight.
Practical tip: to check if is 30% humidity, place some vermicompost in

your hand and squeeze to form a ball. Open your palm and apply some
pressure with the index finger of the other hand. If the ball breaks easily
into two to three parts, that is about 30% humidity. If the ball crumbles
easily, that is less than 30%. If your finger leaves and imprint on the ball
and the ball breaks, that is more than 30%.
Characteristics of Vermicompost
Physical
Physically, the gross appearance of the vermicast is granular. It has been

observed that the bigger worms produce bigger granules. In the
intestines of the worms, the nutrients are ground and mixed. The worm
excretes mucus which coats and binds all these elements together.
This granular character will allow the plants to extract the elements they
need, as the need. It is believed that the vermicast can stay for as long
as five (5) years in the soil. It also will not leach out because of its
granular nature. Plants respond fast to applications of vermicast and
within a few days, new shoots are observed and the leaves turn green.
Vermicompost is cool to the touch and holds three times its weight in
water. As such, the plants need less watering and can withstand longer
periods without water.
Chemical



lOMoARcPSD|19098749
The pH of vermicast is almost neutral and as such, it also acts to buffer

the pH of the soil to neutral.
Vermicast can be used directly on the plants at any point because it does
not burn the plant. Compost produced traditionally cannot be used
directly but has to be aged properly. Vermicast is ready for use as soon
as it is produced. It is virtually impossible to overdose with vermicast.
Vermicast has auxin, a naturally occurring hormone. This hormone is

present in the tips of plants and is responsible for the fast growth of
plants. It has been observed that especially when vermicompost is used
in the soil and then vermitea is sprayed as foliar, the growth is lush and
robust.
The worms clean up whatever they eat. They also do not pass on
whatever poisons are contained in their food because they die when
ingesting poison. As such, they clean the soil and even “capture” toxins
in the soil, especially heavy metals.
Microbiological
It is living soil, full of friendly and beneficial microorganisms. These

organisms increase the fertility of the soil and protect the plants. They
also awaken the dormant microorganisms in the soil.
Some studies claim that even where there were pathogens in the
substrate, the resultant vermicast did not produce growth when cultures
in laboratory. Some studies also claim that the vermicast also has
fungicidal action.
Application of the Vermicompost
Basal
Vermicompost can also be used for basal application. Line the trenches
with vermicompost before you put in the plants. The amount put in
depends on the amount available for use. You can also put this into the
pot after you have put in some soil but before you put in the plant.
Top Dressing
You can use vermicast as top dressing. You can place about 50 gms on
top of the soil in a small 15 cm pot and work in the vermicast into the
soil. This should keep the plants happy for about half the year.
Potting Mix


lOMoARcPSD|19098749
Vermicompost can also be incorporated into the potting medium. One

(1) partvermicompost plus one (1) part good garden soil and one (1)
part carbonized rice hulls (1:1:1) is a very good potting medium for most
plants, generally. This potting medium can also be used for seedling
trays or to germinate seeds. If a lighter medium is desired, add more
carbonized rice hulls.
Basal and Foliar Fertilizer
Basal fertilizer is applied on the soil before planting while foliar

fertilizer is applied on and underneath the leaves. Both types contain
macro and micronutrients and have microorganisms. Plants can absorb
foliar fertilizer than basal fertilizer.

Fertilizers become organic when the material is free of chemical

substances, there is presence of high organic matter content and the raw
materials used are indigenous in the locality.


lOMoARcPSD|19098749
To preserve the potency of organic fertilizer, the following must be

observed:
- Store in dry, dark and cool place

- Packaging material should be lined with plastic bag
- For foliar, when aging add molasses to prolong shelf-life
Recordkeeping
To effectively monitor the production of organic fertilizer, the following

information must be recorded:
- Expiry date
- Quantity
- Moisture content
- Nutritional composition
