SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE THROUGH COMPOSTING AT STONEFARMS

The Stonefarms Research Park is dedicated to promoting sustainable agricultural practices through innovative research and hands-on training. Our agricultural students on internship, under the guidance of experienced professionals, have been transforming organic waste into nutrient-rich compost.

The Composting Process

The composting process involves collecting and mixing over 70 plant materials, kitchen waste, wood ash, charcoal, forest soil, termite soil, and worms into a compost bin. Microorganisms break down the materials over time, with regular turning and maintenance. The resulting compost is collected, air-dried, and packaged for use.

Compost Tea: A Liquid Solution

In addition to solid compost, we collect a liquid compost tea rich in beneficial microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Compost tea enhances soil microbial activity, increases plant nutrient uptake, supports plant disease resistance, and fosters a balanced ecosystem.

Benefits of Compost and Compost Tea

Compost and compost tea improve soil structure and fertility, support healthy microbial activity, and promote eco-friendly farming practices. They can be used alone or in combination with fertilizers.

Empowering the Next Generation

Stonefarms is committed to sharing knowledge and skills with interns and the farming community. Through hands-on training and experience, we empower the next generation of farmers and agricultural professionals to adopt sustainable practices and promote environmental stewardship.
