[Digestion] Digestion Digest, Vol 2, Issue 31

[Ivo Oliveira]

Hello,

I've been reading a couple of documents about vermicompost and digester
effluent aplication to different crops. For exemple: Vegetables (carrot,
spinach, onions etc), Fruits and maize. For instance when applying digester
effluent to vegetables 100 l per hectare (of a total 300 l mixed with water
on a 1:3 ratio) should be added every 10 days. It seems quite small....
However I found in other articles that you can apply raw digester effluent
without dilution but doesn't say the amounts that should be added.

Using Vermicompost the information seems more available but still not sure.
For example I found that you can apply 120 g of vermicompost/ plant (crop)
or 60 g or 10 g to vegetables.....

So... the information available is some what diverse. I wonder if someone
could share his knowledge when using digester effluent or vermicompost as an
organic fertilizer.

Thanks,
Ivo Oliveira
