Part 2: Making the Dirt<\/h2>\n

Continued from Part 1 – Ingredients<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The difficult part is finding and getting all the ingredients into one place. Once you have them, you can just mix them all together into a huge pile.<\/p>\n

The pile should not be more than 1.5 meters deep, so if you’re making a lot of soil at once, then you can push it into a large row.<\/p>\n

At first, we did everything by hand, but it was so difficult, that once we added up the labor involved, we found it was cheaper to bring a backhoe to do it.<\/p>\n

Add Water<\/h4>\n

Once you’ve mixed the ingredients, add water. Water is very important in this process and it’s not going to work well without it. Throughout the process, you need to add water occasionally, such as once a week. <\/p>\n

In rainy season, it would get lots of water from rain, but if you have the pile covered with plastic, then the rain won’t get into it, so you’ll have to add water by hand or leave it in the rain.<\/p>\n
