Required Ingredients

Note:

• For Home Use, instead of huge volumes, it is okay to have less volume by maintaining the ratio 1:1.
• Please note that the stick (neem stick is better or any pole) used for mixing the ingredients should be cleaned before & after the usage so as to avoid maggots formations in the manure.
