Yesterday, with the help of a wheelbarrow, we distributed sacks of vermicompost to each durian tree. Unlike fresh manure, vermicompost can be applied directly to the trees without any fermentation process. However, for manure made from goat and cow waste, fermentation is necessary before use.
Durian trees are highly sensitive, and applying raw manure can cause "burning," often indicated by yellowing leaves. That’s why, in our previous video, we used EM4 as a fermentation agent to break down the manure before application. While waiting for that process to complete, today was the perfect time to spread the vermicompost.
Using a sturdy metal scoop, we carefully applied the compost to each tree. The recommended dosage is:
1. 2–3 kg for 1-year-old trees
2. 3–5 kg for 2-year-old trees
3. 5–7 kg for 3-year-old trees
However, since our land was newly cultivated and not yet fertile, and this was our first durian planting, we decided to be generous. We used one sack for small trees, two sacks for medium-sized ones, and three sacks for large trees.
After a full day’s work, we managed to fertilize only 15 durian trees on Terrace 1, about half of the trees in that section. However, there are still Terrace 2 and Terrace 3—each with even more durian trees—along with additional trees on the southern slopes and the downhill area. The sheer number of trees creates an enormous demand for fertilizer.
It’s no surprise that we’ve had truckloads of fertilizer delivered, yet it always seems like we need more. Growing durian isn’t cheap—but as in any business, quality comes at a price. And when the harvest comes, all the effort will be worth it.
