VERMI COMPOST UNIT : FOLD ABLE ? YES POSSIBLE WITH CARITAS INDIA JEEVIKA@ IDSSS INDORE

An innovative method of vermin compost preparation with the use of Tarpaulin sheet has been initiated at Khurda cluster by selected farmers on trial basis. The method consist of making vermin pit with the help of tarpaulin instead of bricks and cement. The farmers also accepted and contributed towards the purchase of sheets. The vermin used for production are of Australian origin. 1 Kg seeds of vermin cost Rs. 500 for each pit. Each pit can produce up to 22 quintals of rich quality compost in three months. The market value of the compost is Rs. 24 per KG. We have already helped to install 10 units at Khurda cluster with the provision of placing 1.5 Kg vermin seeds in each pit. Additional and very essential element of vermin compost is vermin wash which will be collected and used effectively with the help of this unit.
