Question

Exaplain the method for preparing compost?

Answer 1

First before you start making compost manure ensure you have all the equipment and materials required such as:- jembe, panga, spade, dry matter(maize stalk,straws,dry grass,sugarcane leaves, dry beans stalk etc), green leaves(beans,titonia,shrubs etc),ashes, animal waste(cow dung,poultry droppings, shoats droppings,rabbit or pigs) and water. 
After you have collected all this material select a suitable site i.e free from water run-off and any other disturbance that may destroy the hip. 

Now start by digging up the ground to 1 ft deep and any length and with of your choice as long as its reasonable. 

Sprinkle the ashes on the ground then water, spread the dry matter and pour the animal waste on top of the dry matter, then put the green leaves the cover with a thin layer of soil and spring water to make the first layer. 

Repeat the process up to 1.5 meters high then insert a tree diagonally and ensure it penetrates to the ground at the other side, this will help you to monitor the temperatures
Leave the heap for 3 weeks undisturbed then rearrange the layer starting from the top layer going up and leave for another 3 weeks, repeat the rearrangement until 3 months time is over that is when the manure is ready for use.
