Creating a precious soil improver from farm waste is a pillar of production of top quality crops. Dorothy Duodu, from fruit-exporting company Blue Skies, is your guide to Ghana's way to make and use compost on a large scale. This film, one of eleven, is being used to share good agricultural practice in Africa. LEAF (http://www.leafuk.org), Waitrose, African fresh produce exporters and Green Shoots Productions (http://www.green-shoots.org) have been working with support of the UK Department for International Development's Food Retail Industry Challenge (FRICH) fund to share good agricultural practice between African farmers.

What benefit is there in adding the cardboard? Is there any nutrition in it

Great job! In these days of high chemical cost and environmental pollution, composting is must. This will save lot of money for the farmers. You have mentioned that it takes 3 months to mature. In India, there are companies providing concoction of microbial agents which will assist decomposition in one month.

thanks for the good work but my worry is about exposure of the compost to sunlight wont it lose its nutrients it has to be covered after application in the field and also the site for making compost it should at-least be planted with trees to protect the compost from direct sunlight and rain.
