Apricot leaves, eucalyptus leaves and plum leaves are collected to make compost. After the compost tank was built, these materials were put in. The fermentation process is started by adding liquid manure from the Bio-gas unit. Liquid manure is added little by little since only small amounts of moisture works well. A boy mixes compost materials thoroughly.
Plastic sheet is put on the compost materials and compost tank to maintain the anaerobic conditions.
The compost temperature is measured daily. When the temperature is stable, the compost is ready. Farmers were trained how to make compost twice. One of the serious problems for local farmers is the high expense of chemical fertilizer, so the compost making technology is an effective solution to reduce their expenses and increase their net income. A total of 26 farmers attended the compost making training.
