Day 1: Introduction to Organic Farming and The Basics of Plant & Animal Nutrition

Before making your soil mix, you need to collect the following materials:

  1. Topsoil – The uppermost layer of soil, usually dark in color and rich in nutrients.
  2. Well-Decomposed Manure or Compost – Organic matter that has broken down completely into dark, soil-like material.
  3. Sand (if necessary) – Helps with drainage (allows water to pass through easily).
  4. Coconut Coir or Rice Husk – These keep the soil loose and help retain moisture.
  5. Lime (optional) – Reduces soil acidity, making it better for plants.

 Explanation of Terms:

Well-decomposed manure or compost: Animal waste or plant materials that have broken down completely over time into nutrient-rich soil. It should not have a bad smell.

Coconut coir: A soft, fibrous material from coconut husks that helps soil hold water.

Lime: A natural powder made from crushed limestone used to reduce soil acidity.
