Feeding tomato and cucumbers with horse manure.

Horse manure, when applied as fertilizer, acts very quickly. In the first year - the increase in yield will not be in the kit contains an insufficient amount of nitrogen for this. Every year there are more and more fish. Organic elements contained in manure gradually decompose and improve the quality of the soil.

What crops is horse manure contraindicated.

There are a number of crops for which it is forbidden to apply manure. These include: 1) carrots., 2) radishes., 3) turnips., 4) horseradish., 5) celery., 6) parsley and 7) beets. All these types of plants can be grown in those places where something had grown before them on the soil fertilized with manure; it is forbidden to apply manure directly under them. If you grow asters, it is also not recommended to apply manure under them, this can lead to the drying out of the plant.

What crops will only benefit from horse manure.

Manure is an excellent fertilizer for plants such as: 1) squash, 2) cucumbers and 3) cabbage.

Is horse manure suitable as fertilizer for ornamental flower crops?

If you want to fertilize flowers with manure, then it is better to do this when planting roses, lilacs, clematis or dahlias. After fertilizing the above listed plants, the yield and flowering will be better.

What is the chemical composition of horse manure.

What does manure consist of in terms of chemistry? Manure is composed of water and organic matter. Water in the composition of manure includes seventy-one point and four tenths of a percent, organic matter in it contains several times less, namely - twenty-five point, four tenths of a percent.

What organic matter is in horse manure?

Of organic substances, manure contains: 1) nitrogenous elements., 2) ammonia nitrogen., 3) potassium elements., 4) phosphorus elements.

Magnesia in horse manure.

Magnesia is also an important element of manure; it accounts for about fourteen hundredths of a percent of the total mass. One centner of horse manure contains fourteen hundred milligrams of active ingredient. The same mass of fertilizer contains one hundred and forty milligrams of boric elements, seven milligrams of cobalt elements, sixty-seven hundredths of a gram of zinc elements and one hundred and ten grams of copper elements.

What determines the content of various elements in the composition of the fertilizer.

The above indicators are not the same for any manure and may have different options. The content of various elements may be several times lower or higher. It all depends on the food of the living creatures.

How this fertilizer is used.

The possibilities for using horse manure are different. It can be biofuel and plant fertilizer. Fresh manure is applied under the plants only in the autumn.In the spring, manure can only be used as a liquid fertilizer.

How does this fertilizer decompose?

Manure decomposition begins at a temperature of eight dozen degrees Celsius. Horse manure decomposes much faster than other species. After decomposition, horse manure has the most loose appearance in comparison with other fertilizers.

Fertilizing cucumbers and tomatoes with manure.

Horse dung contains many more nutrients than cow dung. Manure can warm up cold and heavy soils quickly enough. Cucumbers are very good at heat. Manure will be a wonderful fertilizer for them. The best way is warm beds.

Consider a few recommendations for using this fertilizer for cucumber crops.

1. In the fall, manure is applied before the site is dug up not only for planting cucumbers, but also potatoes, zucchini and pumpkins.

7. The mixture should be infused for seventy to seventy two hours.
8. To prepare a solution for processing plants, it is necessary for each liter of the mixture obtained, add another two liters of warm water.
9. The resulting mixture is suitable for fertilizing all plants, except for those for which manure in any form is contraindicated (the list is present at the beginning of the article).
10. If you forgot the diluted manure and it managed to ferment, you can put a bucket of it in the greenhouse with the cucumbers and then the rate of their growth will increase.
11. There is a lot of nitrogen in fresh manure; it is not recommended to apply it in this form under tomatoes.
12. This fertilization will cause the shoots to grow too quickly and prevent flowers from forming.
13. Manure can be used in combination with other organic fertilizers, for example: with humus and grass in various states.
14. Ideal fertilizer: organic humus, plus peat, and the most affordable: manure + straw.
15. The ideal mixture for fertilizing tomatoes is manure, which has been mixed with green grass and straw for about a year.
16. It rotates this fertilizer at a high rate, which allows the plants to quickly absorb it.
17. This rate of decay depends on the fact that the manure contains a sufficient amount of nitrogen, as well as in the grass.
18. To destroy bad microflora and improve composting, you can add to the above mixture, the drug - Trichoderma Veride 471.

    Advantages of horse manure for decorative flowering crops.

Horse manure has a number of positive properties, consider them.

• The soil is structured under the influence of manure.
• Sandy soil becomes denser, where more clay becomes looser.
• Plants become more resistant to disease and pest attacks.
• Soil treated with manure does not clog and grow less weeds.
• The soil heats up under the influence of manure and carbon monoxide is released from it.

Manure fertilizers for trees and shrubs.

Consider the growing stages of development in fruit trees and shrubs, as well as recommendations for the use of this fertilizer for them. The growing season of fruit plants is divided into two stages.

• The first stage begins at the beginning of the spring growing season and ends when the shoots stop growing.
• The second stage begins from the moment the shoots stop growing and lasts until the beginning of winter.

Plants that grow for several years need a lot of nitrogen, since nitrogen is used for the formation of fruits and the growth of shoots.

If the plant lacks nitrogen, then its leaves begin to change color, as a rule, they become lighter and turn yellow. The size of the leaves also decreases, and the shoots stop growing at a normal rate. The lack of nitrogen is reflected in the fruit and the number of flowers per plant and its fruits is noticeably reduced. The usual size of the fruits changes, they decrease. And often with a lack of nitrogen, you can notice that the leaves fall too early in the fall.

During the growing season, nitrogen is consumed by plants unevenly.

A plant needs the largest amount of nitrogen when leaves, shoots grow on it and fruits are formed.

In the fall, none of the above essentially happens, so not much nitrogen is needed, and its consumption decreases.

As well as a lack of nitrogen, and an excessive amount of it negatively affects plants. If there is too much nitrogen, then young seedlings will not be able to take root normally and the shoots will ripen for too long, the plants will also tolerate winters worse, and the fruits become less capable of transportation and storage.

The period when plants need a lot of nutrients is the beginning of summer.

Therefore, fertilizers must be applied under the plants in late autumn and spring, in summer they are not needed so much.

Nitrogen is given to the plant in sufficient quantities, usually in the spring and early summer.

When you fertilize plants with manure, you need to remember that it is not absorbed by the plant immediately, like ordinary fertilizer, it takes time to rot, because organic compounds are inside it.

In order for the organic compounds inside the manure to become assimilable for plants, they need about six dozen days.

Manure fertilizers are not washed out with water, but ordinary mineral fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potash can be washed out.

A good time to apply manure and other mineralized fertilizers is autumn, when you are digging the soil, or early spring.

Only readily soluble nitrogen-containing fertilizers are applied directly to the soil surface, which themselves can penetrate deep into the ground.

Fertilizers were most effective and should be applied close to the root system of the plant.

To do this, it is necessary to produce, dig up the soil.

If there is a lot of turf on your site, fertilizers are applied in grooves or holes specially dug next to the plant, directly around the main tree trunk and above the roots.

After you have applied fertilizer, you need to water the grooves and cover everything on top with soil.

The best results are obtained from those fertilizers that are distributed directly around the plant and are poured into such holes around the trunks.

How to fertilize fruit bushes?

Now we will consider fertilization for: 1) currants., 2) raspberries and 3) gooseberries with horse manure. There are several guidelines for this application.

• The most effective time for this fertilization is to mulch the soil in the autumn directly under the bush.
• It is necessary to lay mulch where there are most roots.
• Both rotted and freshly collected manure are suitable for this procedure.
• The growing season of these plants is already over, and young roots cannot suffer and receive any burns.
• The height of the mulch can reach up to fourteen to fifteen centimeters.
• This mulching takes place after the trees shed their leaves.
• It is not recommended to mulch such bushes with manure more often than once every thirty-five to thirty-six months.

Feeding champignons with horse manure.

Let's consider a few recommendations for using this fertilizer for mushrooms.

In order to fertilize mushrooms with manure, you must first prepare it.

• The manure is mixed with the help and poured with hot water.
• About twenty hundred grams of sulfate, ammonium and urea are added to the resulting mixture.
• Two kilograms are needed per ton of dung.
• The resulting mixture must be infused for two weeks.
• After that, all this is again mixed with a pitchfork, and lime must be poured there.
• On average, six kilograms of chalk are needed per ton of manure.
• The resulting mixture needs to stand for another eight days.
• Then again everything needs to be mixed and added five and a half kilograms of gypsum and ten hundred grams of superphosphate. After all these steps, you get the finished fertilizer.
• So that everything does not creep, you need to compact the side parts of the manure.
• The humus, which has already received its sight, should resemble sand and not be crumbly.
• The smell of ammonia should not be sniffed clearly.
• The fertilizer is distributed with a spherical diameter of about twenty five to thirty centimeters
• It is better if the mushroom bed is directly under the sun.
• The resulting mixture is laid out before planting the mushrooms, then the mushrooms are grown on it.

How keep real fertilizer.

Let's consider a few recommendations for storing this fertilizer.

• It is recommended to store the manure in a cold way. At the same time, it loses less nitrogen, it will not overheat, and organic matter will decompose gradually.
• Fundamentally cold storage differs from hot storage in that when manure is stored in a cold way, it is compacted, but not hot.
• If you have some manure in the fall, it is best to store it until spring so that the ammonia is not lost in the same way as other beneficial elements.
• Now you will learn a possible way to store manure for a long time. You will need polyethylene, you need to put the manure on it and cover it with a film on top. The resulting dung heap should not be smeared under the sediment.

Conclusion.

Horse dung - This is an excellent fertilizer, but unfortunately not suitable for all crops.
