The Culture of Vermi and Composting. (Part 1)



The Culture of Vermi and Composting. (Part 1) 




What if I told you that through proper utilization of natural decay and a few handfuls of worms you can save on average of 700 pounds of waste per year and also through proper enterprising you could make good money off of those worms.
Would you call me crazy if I told you that ?
I am only using the most basic method as to negate expense and while not compromising effectiveness this is a tutorial designed to be the most basic and stripped down approach.
For starters composting is not at all hard to do pick a well shaded area .
Mushrooms are a good sign of natural decay as well my preferred method is using leaves and grass clippings mixing liberally with any animal waste I can obtain I prefer goat,chicken,or pig most often also I use FAA/ Fish Emulsion (Fish Amino Acids) which I will cover in the very near future as resources to make FAA are not available at this time sorry for that guys.
So now that we have our clippings,leaves etc etc and you have found your area it is usually best to mix the waste and clippings well then liberally apply IMO (indigenous micro organisms) to deter the smell and to also catalyze decay.
As stated earlier majority of micro organisms in soil or decaying matter are neutral and will follow the prevailing number of bad or good micro organisms.
Remember to apply 2 tsp to every liter of water for the IMO refer to the IMO demonstration post I made a few weeks ago.
Decaying matter For usage with Vermiculture/Vermicomposting .
1. Anaerobic stage
Chop your materials into small pieces to make for better decomposition use a knife or bolo or shredder whatever you have.
Moisten the materials add to your composting bin and cover to initiate anaerobic decomposition leave for 10 -15 days then material should be ready for worm consumption .
2. Aerobic Stage 
Now that we have done the Anaerobic stage introduce your worms to the material note that aerobic decomposition lasts for 40-60 days.
I will dive more in depth into vermiculture and it's benefits and what is involved in the next tutorial which I will post tomorrow until the ask any questions you want or add to this I am always up for learning take care guys and be good to one another.

The Longest Road.......Reflections from my time in the mountains Through my time in the mountains with my Subanon friends I have better come to understand their plight and view of the world as they see it as a whole. I have not accepted any special treatment I do not belong to any NGO (non government organization) I am not a missionary nor do I tender any kind of payment for this. I am one and I have set out to empower those that wish to use the knowledge I will give them to their benefit . I came to Guingona first in September and was due to return before that but due to circumstances beyond my control that was not meant to be. I returned 17 days ago and in that time I have conducted Multiple trainings on basic composting, organic concoctions, and various other organic teaching AS WELL AS teaching english and math to the school children when time permitted. Also I have seen through that the feeding areas for the children are planted while at the same time branching off to m

FPJ (Fermented Plant Juice) It can be used on both plants and animals as an organic growth enhancer. My version ferments in 7 days What I use. 1 kilo Kang Kong 1 kilo Camote tops  1 kilo Banana trunk 1.5 kilo Molasses or Muscavado You want to chop your vegetables fine mix them in with your Molasses or Muscavado seal and be sure to mark dates and times so you do not forget store in a dark place seal well but not airtight. Application Add 2 tsp FPJ to 1 liter of H2O As seed treatment before sowing – soak the seeds in 0.2 % solution for 4 to 5 hours to facilitate germination and as a start-up solution to germinating seeds. As a natural growth enhancer – Fermented Plant Juice made from actively growing plant parts and fast growing plants may contain natural growth hormones and mineralized nitrogen that promotes plant growth. Mix 2 teaspoons of Fermented Plant Juice per liter of water and spray on the leaves or apply directly to the soil around the plants from seedling stage up to pr
