COMPOSTING
CELOS is experimenting with different compositions of
compost to recommend farmers when using organic fertilizers,
based on what basic material they have in their immediate
surroundings. In collaboration with the department of Plant
Propagation, two
compost heaps where made at the CELOS plant. The objective
of this ongoing project is to provide farmers with an
appropriate compositing protocol, which applies to the
available material of the farmers. Advantages of compost
preparation:
- Increases the oprganic matter of the soil
- Maintains the soil life
- Improves the conservation of the soil and increases the
water retention capacity
- Improves the airation of the soil |
