Ca Mau is one of the first provinces in the Southwest region to create compost from organic waste.

Ms. Huynh Kim Duyen, Vice Chairwoman of the provincial Women's Union, who tested the model of creating organic fertilizer at home and is widely propagating to the people, said she was sent to visit this model in Malaysia, Then I learned composting models in the central provinces, then she made compost from organic waste. Ms. Duyen used this fertilizer to fertilize vegetables, indoor flower plants, very green vegetables and plants.

Models of composting from organic waste have a great effect on the environment, with people's awareness and economic problems.

Organic waste put into the bin is leftovers, discarded parts of vegetables, fruits, leaves, grass .

Everyday, people can put all kinds of organic waste into the bin, if it is too dry, add a little water to increase the humidity.

This fertilizer is applied to trees, flowers, vegetables, extremely good vegetables, green vegetables, beautiful blooming flowers, fast growing trees, many fruits.

Recently, Ca Mau Provincial Environmental Protection Department has supported funding for opening training courses and 100 composite boxes (plastic containers with a volume of 140 liters), each of which is 300,000 VND after drilling and making doors. Each person registering to make compost from organic waste will pay VND 60,000 to receive compost bins.

According to Mrs. Kim Duyen, people pay this amount so that they can consider the compost bin as their own purchase and are responsible for making organic fertilizer. The amount of money people can pay to buy more barrels for other households, from the original 100 barrels, thanks to this method, the Association provides 124 plastic containers for people to make compost.

The program of composting compost from organic waste was piloted in June 2010, after the creation of compost used to fertilize trees and vegetables effectively, it began training and applied widely from the month. 12/2010.

Currently, some households have collected compost, mainly used to fertilize the family, initially with good results, people are very excited with the products they make and effective because of this fertilizer. bring.

Ms. Duyen said that the compost does not cause bad smell, pollution, if the compost bin has the smell, it can use grass, leaves or newspaper to cover the surface of the garbage will reduce the smell, then continue to garbage Organic into the barrel.
