Earthworms eat composted manure and organic waste- such as leaves, straw, and other crops residues. There are several steps for succeeding a composting process. It is necessary to mix the pile, to get an even consistency, the temperature of the compost pile can not exceed a certain level, the humidity should be controlled.

This kind of machinery is produced by different companies, the one working in Tuhala is produced in Austria by Sandberger. It is driving on rubber tracks, it has got a powerful John Deer engine and the mixing unit can be moved up or down. In addition, this machine has also the irrigation system, which has a separate dosing pump for adding composting enhancing substances.
