An on-site trial was conducted to determine the growth and yield performance of four crops (green onions, peanut, pechay, and potato) and grass (Vetiver grass) and on some physical and chemical properties of the soil ameliorated with organic fertilizer. Plants grown in mine-tailed area ameliorated with organic fertilizers (compost, chicken dung and Giant 8-8-8) showed better growth and yield compared to those without organic amelioration. Application of organic fertilizers improved the physical (bulk density and porosity) and chemical (pH, organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content) properties of the mine-tailed area.
