Farming with compost in Africa

- 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 (www.leafuk.org), Waitrose, African fresh produce exporters and Green Shoots Productions (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.
I'm happy to see that Africa is composting and using them in your farms as well. Hopefully, more Africians will do the same and create jobs in other areas as well. Keep it coming. Love to see your progress!
No more chemicals in my garden. Thank Dorothy .. Sister from Zimbabwe
More Life and Black Agro Strength Brothers and Sister!!!
Best greetings from germany to Ghane, I have Ghana visited and I like your good job.
God bless Ghana !
Greetings from Cyprus !
Am glad Africans are starting to learning the simple method of farming. Compost is the best friend of a Gardner or a farmer.
We have been doing this long long time ago, but maybe not commercially
Yeah they're definitely not the ones "starting to learning" 😅 they've probably been ahead of the game in many ways longer than we have.. it just hasn't been as exposed and promoted on platforms like everything we do
yes she is really pretty and a great personality, love the video and the country background, I love growing things also and use all that I can that is available to make my soil better, thanks for what you share, love your country, Joe
Thank you very much- so informative
I thought I was the only one tempted by her beauty, damn ! Beautiful presentation by a beautiful natural melanin rich woman.
That is very nice I see at least one country in Africa is on his way to feed in their own people and that is the week you have to do it you can rely on imports if the country don’t have money I need to form especially if you have anybody that have land should be forming very good
It appears Africa may have the answer and is paving the way for modern sustainable agriculture😊👍We can all learn so much from such a resourceful country😊ohhh and Dorothy...you’re a true stunner❤️
Continent not country. 👌
You guys are great I wish in America there will be Africans like you. you are such a hard working people.
Farming was very common among African Americans up until about the 70s. And in the Gullah regions it still is.
Treatment was so horrible on these farms long after slavery so it's easy to understand why many from that generation just didn't pass down farming traditions. Its not completely dead though. It's just not trendy like it is with white Americans.
shut up. Many African Americans are hard workers.
I agree. Eastern Europeans love to come here, but criticize everything and everyone.
Excellent natural work. Love, and respect.......Seven Thunders///////
Heck yea, SPEAK about it lady.
Beautiful work!

She's really pretty
Wonderful experience beautiful people in Ghana
I fall in love with Dorothy
I know!! She is totally adorable!!
Mario Camacho me toó u.u
Shes a legend, all respect. No weird shit. I wanna work for u gurl
Can you tell me what city you are in? Can you tell me how I can buy the compost?
Great job... Keep it up.. India
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.
Dorairaj Kuppurangam any chemical will definitely defeat the goal
@@faa9261 Syntropic Farming, its the best technique for you to use ! research it !
So 👍good
Wonderful job keep it up idols
very very good, viva africa
Lovely
Respect
Good job
Hi..
Thank you for this video..Do you add chicken manure and sawdust into your compost?
And what are the components in the starter?.
Thank you for your response..
Any material high in nitrogen is a great starter. Lawn mower clippings, urine, spent coffee grounds are all great ones.
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.
zainab ahmed yes
I agree
As long as there is sufficient moisture it will be fine there needs to be evaporation to let ammonia go away
Zainab Syntropic Farming is the answer to humanities problems, a man with such tecniques transformed a wasteland of depleted soil into a Forest of 467 hectars
That's why you see the windrows covered in tarps here. The tarps help prevent the piles from drying out from the sun and wind, ans prevent weed seeds from blowing into the windrows
I’d surely buy this to support if it were sold in the states.

Thanks for the video. I learned something. Does the compost replace the chemical fertilizers? Does the pineapple scraps make the compost too acidic?
cool
what did she uses to breakdown the raw material
Wow
good day, do you use anything else (synthetic ferts) or only compost and the tea? can I replicate that for other horticultural produce?
if it's heating up too much you need to add browns, not greens.
Good
What benefit is there in adding the cardboard? Is there any nutrition in it
+Kurumba Atoll It is made out of wood, which mainly consists of carbon. More carbon in the soil helps hold more water, makes worms thrive and encourages a better soil structure.
It’s for pineapple only or for any farming system?
Greetings from Austria! Good look, pls try too feed good "Waste" to your Animals, you have then great Pigs or something and good compost, works fine in Austria
Do you have to add red worms to your compost
This is very impressive. In case we want to buy some of your compost, how do we do it? How much the price? Thanks
2,000$
Good job done. How do I contact you please
Please how can i get in touch with you
Is this project still ongoing?
hi. can a plant depend solely on compost to grow
Abdul waqia Abdulai for sure
I went to my uncle's village last year. They killed most of their cows for sacrifices and had a shortage of manure so they used human faeces instead.
hdmat101 why not sacrifice the humans too
Dorthy are you on facebook/ Married?
Very good beats chemical fertilizer any day safer too
yes, but syntropic farming is the only way to go !
the guy in blue is a prison inmate
I love her English not accent
this does not look sustainable. a farmer needs to work with what they have in their small farm.
