Visit to Nalbandyan Community on May 21, 2007
The community group prepared compost consisting of 1 m thick layer in the barn area. The area was carefully washed.
In the beginning the YES Club Ecology group children washed the manure, then after slight drying, mixed it with branches, hay, vegetable waste, weeds, alum as the bio-humus production module instructs. Now the compost is ready to receive the worms. Not only members of the Ecology Direction of the YES Club, but also their parents and just adults are interested in the initiative participated in organization of the bio-humus production.
To enhance the incentive for education, ripe bio-humus from Spitak was distributed to the children to use it in their gardens. The trainer explained the children how to apply it. Their introduction with the project the Ecology Direction members began from practical lessons by preparing the compost. The Trainer was also instructed to organize theoretical classes to explain importance of the bio-humus in agriculture and what organic agriculture is. For this purpose the Trainer received module for theoretical classes.
A container was prepared for water, but the community plans to fill a big ditch with water and to pomp it from there to water the compost.
