Spread the dry material evenly over the bottom of the trench to make a layer of 15-25cm. Sprinkle with water using a watering can or basin to ensure all material is moist but not wet. Layer 1: In this layer, put dry plant material such as grass, dry leaves mixed with top soil, manure and ashes.

Mark the area you intend to locate the compost (the minimum area is 1.25m x 1.25m).
• Dig a shallow trench, same size as the compost heap 20cm deep. Smear the sides of the trench with water or a mixture of water and cow dung to prevent moisture and nutrients from leaking from the compost heap. The shallow trench will become the foundation of the compost heap. The trench also helps to hold moisture especially during the dry season.
Foundation layer
Put the dry plants material such as small tree branches, maize stalks or sorghum stalks. Cut the plant material into small pieces. Spread the dry material evenly over the bottom of the trench to make a layer of 15-25cm. Sprinkle with water using a watering can or basin to ensure all material is moist but not wet
