Benefits that the incredible nature offers us through coffee compost and vermicompost

This post is addressed to all lovers of our incredible nature, I will begin by telling you that coffee compost is made by collecting organic coffee waste, which is intended to serve as fertilizer for plants and green areas, as it provides nutrients to generate sustainable development.

▶ It is necessary to indicate that in order to obtain this fertilizer based on organic coffee residues, the first thing to do is to dig a hole in the ground of 5 to 8 meters and cover it with coffee, then cover it with soil (branches and other organic residues can also be added). It is necessary to wait for fermentation to take place for about 4 to 8 weeks. This will depend on the depth of the hole. Once the coffee fermentation time has elapsed, compost is obtained, which can be distributed in the green areas.

In relation to worm composting, vermicompost can be obtained as an excretion product of the red worm or other members of the Lumbricidae family, remember that these organisms feed on organic waste and transform it into a product rich in nutrients and soil microbes used to fertilize or enrich the soil as a means of cultivation.

As is well known, there is an activity called lumbriculture, which deals with the conditions of breeding, reproduction and survival of these earthworms. There is even a world market to commercialize them.

In addition to the organic residues of coffee harvests and composting with earthworms, nature also offers us aquatic plants such as Eichhornia crassipes, a plant widely used in India and Bangladesh for the preparation of compost and thus controlling the high vegetative reproduction of this aquatic plant that expands in the bodies of water where it lives, causing eutrophication and sedimentation, and affecting fishing, agriculture and health.

In the use of these aquatic plants as a resource, management techniques and control of their excessive coverage should be considered, giving family communities the opportunity to produce marketable natural products that will provide them with economic income and improve their socio-economic level.
