THE TECHNICAL PLAN

THE DIFFERENT STEPS IN THE PRODUCTION OF VERMICOMPOST FERTILIZERS

Steps Description Materials and Supplies Purchasing 1 Crop residues 1.5 Fermented Plant Juice 1.5 Fermented Fruit Juice 3 Waste from agro-industries 4 Biodegradable portion of urban and rural areas 5 Stock the materials and supplies in a safe place until production. Production of Vermicomposts Processing involving collecting wastes, shredding, and mechanical separation of 1 the metal, glass and ceramics and storage of organic wastes. Pre-digestion of organic waste for twenty days by heaping the material along with goat, chicken, cattle or any manure of the animals. This process partially digests the material and fit for earthworm consumption. The manure of the 2 animals may be used after drying. Wet dung should not be used for vermicompost production. Preparation of earthworm bed. A concrete base is required to put the waste for vermicompost preparation. Loose soil will allow the worms to go into the soil 3 and also while watering; all the dissovable nutrients go into the soil along with water. Preparation of earthworm bed.

Sieving the composted material to separate fully composted material. The partially composted material 5 will be again put into the vermicompost bed. Packaging the Vermicompost Fertilizers 1 Prepare the packaging materials needed. 2 Place the brand logo 3 Attach company label at the top. 4 Place inside the sac and plastic bottle packaging.

PRODUCTION TOOLS Simple tools will be used by Vermioz in the creation of its products, no complicated or expensive machineries or equipment is required given the nature of the companys products and as provided for earlier, in an attempt to reduce the start -up, pre-operating costs and initial cash outlays at the lowest possible level upon the establishment of the business, tools which are available will be contributed by the owner, this shall be included in the capital for the business. To determine the tools allocated cost per period an estimated useful cost shall be assigned to the tools. Periodic depreciation charges is not applicable or more likely practicable for vary small and relatively inexpensive tools to be used in the business, thus, this tools will be directly written off from the statements once it is determined that they were not useful anymore or they are no longer serving the purpose for which they are intended. Below is schedule of the tools to be used in the business for its initial operations:
