 QUESTIONS:
• 1.WHAT IS THE VIDEO ALL ABOUT?

•2. WHAT ARE THE MATERIALS NEEDED IN MAKING COMPOST PIT?

•3. WHAT ARE THE STEPS IN MAKING COMPOST PIT?
•4.WHAT ARE THE SAFETY TIPS IN MAKING ORGANIC FERTILIZER?
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE STEPS IN PREPARING ORGANIC FERTILIZER OR COMPOST

• 1.DIG A COMPOST PIT USUALLY AT THE BACK OF THE YARD.

• 2. BUILD A SHELTER TO PROTECT THE PILE FROM THE RAIN MEASURING AT LEAST 2 METERS BY 3 OR
4 METERS. AN ALTERNATIVE TO BUILDING A SHELTER IS TO COVER THE PILE WITH PLASTIC
MATERIALS.

• 3. GATHER AND PREPARE ALL COMPOST MATERIALS

• 4. PILE A LAYER OF GRASS AND KITCHEN LEFTOVER ABOUT 12-15 CM THICK TO COVER THE AREA.
• 5. LEVEL THE AREA. THEN PILE THE SECOND LAYER OF ANIMAL MANURE ABOUT 5-8CM. THICKEN
LAYER OVER THE FIRST LAYER.
THE FOLLOWING ARE THE STEPS IN PREPARING ORGANIC FERTILIZER OR COMPOST

•6. MAKE OTHER LAYERS SIMILAR TO THE FIRST TWO LAYERS UNTIL THE PILE
REACHES 11/2 METERS.
•7. SPRINKLE THE PILE WITH WATER TO MAKE IT MOIST.
•8. COVER THE TOP PILE WITH BANANA LEAVES.
•9. PROVIDE BREATHERS LIKE BAMBOO HOLES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PILE.
•10. THE COMPOST WILL BE READY AFTER THREE MONTHS.
