Compost.

Compost are a rich source of caries and nutrients. The right compost has even more fertilizer strength than manure. Its value depends on the materials taken and the method of preparation. On a small plot we can make a compost with a very diverse material: plant residues (except for potato bars, tomato and cucumber, which we smoke or dragged deeply), harmonious, all types of straw, uninterested tree leaves (except oak and alder leaves), manure, slurry, animal blood, ash from burned branches and other waste, kitchen waste, low peat, so -called. agricultural, weeds without mature seeds, faded flowers, sludge from ditches, etc.. The more components there are - the higher the compost value. Place under compost prism 1.5-1.8 m wide, height 1.2-1.5 m and any length should be dry and shaded. You should also remember to leave the area to convert compost. Deciding on the location of the prize, It is worth communicating with your neighbors, so that everyone would put her on the adjacent corners of the plots. We remove from the designated place with the top, a humus layer of soil and as a foundation - we give a layer of the material absorbing the lefed ingredients with a thickness of OK. 15 cm. They can be: straw, leaves, old compost, sawdust or peat. On such an insulated surface, we begin to arrange all materials in layers with a thickness of 15-20 cm, pouring with each earth or peat.

We arrange them quite loosely - to facilitate air access. It is also important, so that plant residues or weeds should not be withered. Counts the materials too dry before with water. Pile humidity and appropriate aeration are a condition for quick and proper distribution of materials. We remind you here, that you should not make compost in recessed tanks or concrete containers, because the lack of air causes incorrect fermentation, very lowering the fertilizer value.

We pour the individual layers with fertilizer lime in quantity 2 KG na 1 M3. This improves the health condition of the compost, Lime kills parasitic fungi and their spores. It also causes the loss of germination of many weed seeds, deacidifies the compost and enriches its composition. You can also add phosphorus and potassium fertilizers to the compost, But this is not necessary.

Compost pile We arrange in one season, adapting its length to the materials held. After reaching the appropriate height, we cover the pile with soil, And on top we make an elongated groove, that the water from rainfall stops there. We keep the compost in the right humidity. To check it out, We squeeze the compost material in the hand. If it remains moist, We don't have to pour the compost with water.

We process the prism for the first time after 2 months from the end of its laying, in autumn - at the latest in October, in the spring - at the earliest in March. The processing involves thorough mixing and transferring compost layers yes, so that the upper and lower layers are inside the stack. We do this with this. 2 months. Before winter, the pile should be covered with leaves, straw or other material, so that it does not freeze. There will be processes here during this period, conducive to ripening fertilizer. Depending on the materials, of which the pile is founded and from the conditions of humidity, The compost will be mature after 10-12 months or after 2 years.

Higher fertilizer and better absorption of nutrients compound, which is quickly decomposing. Not all garden users have sufficient number and variety of composting materials. So it is difficult for them to conduct a proper compost economy.

Compound cannot be ,,a bit pile of rubbish”, to which new waste is still added. It should be converted, fertilize, pour and form a prism. Putting compost and rewriting it, Living for nutrients rich in nutrients is not a light work at all. Especially the first shifting of the pile is very tedious. But with the common lack of good manure, Taking care of compost is a very important matter.

Well -distributed compound is a uniform, loose, earthy mass. Before use for fertilization, it must be sieved through the reef, that is, the wire mesh tight on the frame. The parts undeveloped then separate, which we add to newly assumed stacks. In the absence of a grid, the compost can be scattered on the bed, as well as stones, glass or other inorganic materials.

Compost fertilization We carry out in the spring, directly before sowing or planting. The soil should be moist. This fertilizer is 40-80 kg on 10 M2 mix with the soil by motivated or norkros. We use it primarily for vegetables with a short vegetation and shallowly root. They react very well to him: spinach, słata, radish, cucumbers, onion. The compost is also suitable for fertilizing tomatoes.
