The compost is a fertilizer that is derived from the decomposition of organic. Like a forest is every year at the foot of the trees a dark, fertile soil in the garden can also prepare a substrate, the compost to enrich the soil. To do this you just have to gather the materials necessary to decompose, then they will be invisible soil organisms that are responsible for carrying out this transformation. Materials needed
- The basic material is waste vegetable garden produce, dry leaves, the remains of crops, weeds, dead flowers, pruning, and so on.
- Plants affected by a disease or pest should be discarded; also es aconsejable quemarlas.
- Los desperdicios de la comida que se generan en el hogar también son muy útiles. Si la proporción de materia vegetal es bastante mayor que la de los restos de la cocina, el montón no dará olores; además, el nitrógeno que se aporta con ellos sirve para acelerar la transformación.
- El papel viejo también vale.
- La forma más habitual de elaborar el compost es hacer un montón con los materiales de los que se disponga. El otoño es un buen momento, ya que se genera un volumen grande de hojas y restos de poda y suele crearse la humedad necesaria para que la descomposición se produzca; In addition, the compost will be ready for spring. The plant debris that occur later can be thrown over the pile or be prepared to depart to another.
- The pile should be done in an inconspicuous place and in direct contact with the ground (no plastic sheet below). First, the soil will be deposited in a layer about 30 cm with the waste. Then add up another three to five inches of mulch, compost and made good garden soil or, if this layer gives bone meal, fish or any neo-nitrogen product (you can also throw some lime) processing faster. It will aftemando on these layers until a Attur approximately 1.5 meters. Finally, it covers the lot of terra and, if it is slightly damp, was negative.
- The secret to a successful decomposition is that the pile is kept well ventilated and damp, but without becoming wet.
- After two months, will be removed, a stack of new material that was on the outside must be inside, and vice versa.
- In a penod of three to six months (the time of formation depends on the materials used and the climate of the area) will give a dark land, fresh and smelling of the forest: compost
- spring, the compost can be used as mulch, spreading at the base of trees, shrubs and perennials, and will remain better soil moisture during the summer.
- remains thick as branches or shells of nuts, which have not been spoiled enough during the rest period must be separated to, incorporated into a new pile.
- and sand mixed with peat, compost is a very good substrate for plants. This requires pre-screening the volume that will be used, so it has a more uniform texture.
- There are some plants, such as pumpkin and zucchini, which support
be grown in the same pile of debris when it was not yet finished changing. Damping
- compost with a solution of nettle shortens development time, while it is enriched.
