One day in retrospect the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful
Once again our department is ready for the next session of vermiculture. We constructed another pit of the same dimension as 4.5'x4.5'x4.5'. This time we planned to use rotten vegetables along with freshly prepared cow dung. The Nature Conservers started to work with the same potential and enthusiasm.the pit after being prepared was given a boundary of bricks so that it have have a firm shape. the bricks were tightened together with a moistened solution of mud and was allowed to get dry. the pit was left for the whole day.
On the very next day the pit was checked for proper aeration and a layer of soil was spread at its bottom. The dry leaves were collected and then spread over it.Freshly prepared cow dung was also sprinkled over the layer of the leaves and then a layer of rotten vegetables was spread over the layer of the cow dung. Finally just above the layer of the rotten vegetables a final layer of the freshly prepared cow dung was also sprinkled. After the layer were set the pit was sprinkled with water and left overnight. On the next day the earthworms which were taken away from the older vermicompost were inoculated in this pit. A mixture of jaggery in water was also sprinkled along with showers of water and left. The temperature was measured and it was found to be about 28 degrees Celsius.
