How to prepare good compost manure
  • To get a good quality compost manure, the waste from the field should be collected in one place.
  • Then pits should be made 15 to 20 feet long, 5-6 feet wide, 3-3 ½ feet deep.
  • Mix all the waste well and spread a layer in the pit and lay out wet cow dung over it.
  • Repeat this sequence until the level of the waste is 2-2 ½ feet above the surface of the ground.
  • If the compost is prepared in summer, the pit should be watered 1-2 times at an interval of 15-20 days so that there is sufficient moisture to dissolve the waste.
  • There is no need to add much water during rainy or cold days.
  • The fertilizer prepared after this whole process contains 0.5 percent nitrogen, 0.15 percent phosphorus and 0.5 percent potash.
