Detailed description of the Approach
Aims / objectives: 1 Produce high quality fertilizer(rich in nutrient)
2 Reduce costs and labour,space and maintainane costs.
3 It provides few odour and attracts few pests.
Methods: Firstly,a pit is dug then the organic waste(animal waste , fodder, etc.....)is kept in it.The pit is covered with sipaulin plastic and the waste is left for 2 to 3 months.Due to the properties (Resistance to water , UV stabilisation ,heat seal,flesibility etc) the waste absorbs moisture and allow air to circulate ,Heat is uniformely distributed and then produces a high quality fertilizer.
Stages of implementation: Department of agriculture first distributed siipaulin plastic to a local technician and provide training and knowledge about methods,and Gradually other people of village are also taught its methods,this SLM method is appalied by near by village.
Other important information: Properties of sipaulin plastic are;
---UV stabilization
---Uiform temperature maintainance
---it is very strong.
