Ways of Preparing Organic Fertilizer:

• Dig a compost pit usually at the back of the yard.

• Build a shelter to protect the pile from rain measuring at least 2 meters by 3 or 4 meters.

• Collect and prepare all compost materials.

• Pile a layer of grass and kitchen leftover about 12-15 cm thick to cover the area.

• Level the area. Pile the second layer of animal manure about 5-8 cm.

• Thicken layer over the first layer.

• Make other layers like the first two layers until the pile reaches 1 1⁄2 meters.

• Sprinkle with water to make it moist.

• Cover the top with banana leaves.

• Provide breathers like bamboo hole in the middle of the pile.

• Compost will be ready after 3 months.

3. Selling in the farm – Buyers go directly to the farm to buy. Prices in the farm are usually cheaper because farmers do not need to transport their products to the market.

4. Selling through Contracts – Contracts are usually done by manufacturing companies when there is a need for a big volume of products.

5. Selling through Cooperatives – Cooperatives are non-profitable organizations of workers. They own and manage the organization and patronize the products
