Answers to 3 main questions about compost

Today, ecology leaves us no other way but to use the right compost in order to help our soil cope with various negative factors.

Where can I find organic fertilizers?

Organic fertilizers work best as an aid. You may ask where to get such organics. The answer is very simple. Organic fertilizers are right under our feet, they just need to be composted so that the result can be safely called organic fertilizer. As a fertilizer, you can use the grass mowed on your site, cut and chopped branches of shrubs, weeds weeded out (but only without seeds, keep this in mind), vegetable waste from your kitchen, even old newspapers - all this can be used to use to get organic fertilizer. Having a summer cottage, you can use everything that remains, what at first glance may seem unnecessary. Of course, you can say that such a compost heap will not look very nice on your site, which will harm the appearance of your summer cottage.

How and where to store the correct compost?

It is also important to keep in mind that the harvested material left behind, left just like that, can dry out. And we don't need it at all. The compost material must be moist. In this case, there is one way out - you can come up with a little trick. You can hide the harvested material in the compost bin. Such a box can be easily purchased at any garden store. If you do not want to spend money, then you can make such a box with your own hands, using one more trick, making the upper section for a small garden. In such a built garden, you can plant anything - parsley, dill, carrots. For your convenience, you can make two sections in such a box. 1. matured compost and old compost material. 2. Fresh materials collected throughout the summer.

How to stack the compost material?

We lay out each material in layers of 10-15 cm.The first layer is cut branches, then dry raspberry stalks, peat, garden soil, mown grass, manure (it will be just great if you put it), grass, old newspaper, vegetable waste from your kitchens, earth, manure, grass. Do not forget the main rule - each layer must be thoroughly spilled with water. The topmost layer must be made the largest - about 40 cm. This will be a layer of fertile soil, peat and ready-made compost. The materials in your compost bin will be composted for about a year.

After you harvest, you can use the contents of your compost bin as fertilizer for trees, shrubs, and flower beds in your summer cottage. In the meantime, you will have a new compost prepared. It turns out that you will have both the preparation of compost and its application on the site all year round. what could be even better?
