The secret of a compost pile

The majority of vacationers during the laying of the compost piles cost only a weed grass and weeds. In hot weather, the greens are so strongly "illuminate" from the decomposition of that pile is literally melting away.



This releases a lot of heat. Sometimes vegetable waste, failing to undergo complete decay, sometimes dry. Compost is small, and it is of poor quality. In the cool of the decomposition slows down. A lot of new portions of the grass increases in volume that pleases the gardener. But on the side of her oozing slime, spreading an unpleasant smell. In this case, compost and does not formed, and the result is a true silage-product of lactic acid fermentation.

 

To avoid these and other mistakes in composting uncooked vegetable waste, need to pereseivat their land. For example, weed a garden bed, threw the weeds into the compost pile, and the top is more or less evenly retrocele a few shovels of regular garden soil. If the soil will partially fall through the weed the weeds, so it's even better. She is full of will absorb the juices of plants, rainwater. And grass, even fervent from corruption, will not dry out. In addition, the soil will create a compost heap in the pockets of decomposing organic matter that is required for the production of compost. In addition, the microorganisms contained in the soil, will suppress lactic acid fermentation, which may occur.

Laying the compost, I am guided by the Lunar Calendar of the gardener-gardener. Everything is good, but where do we get the soil, I will ask the gardener. After all the weeding, and therefore the replenishment of the compost pile is all summer. But the land is not free, beds are all busy. But the weeds are growing not only in beds, but in the furrows. I usually go through furrow with a hoe, scrape all weeds. Its something with the ground layer and on the organic matter in your compost heap. And on rainy days, making the turf and the part of his layer of the same compost pile. And when neither one nor the other throw her estimates. The output can always be found.

The compost pile needs to go all organic residues: potato peelings and cabbage stumps and cut stems of raspberry, and the fallen apples, and weeds. But we should strive to alternate the dry and wet, large and small. Thus we create good conditions for digestion. Now it will go rapidly, but not as fast as it burns up grass in dry hot weather. The result is quality compost.

It, in a heap, not somewhere it is necessary to pour out all the slop. Why? As already mentioned, a compost heap as a result of decay dries and rain even in the rainy weather, for it is not enough. In addition, the slops contain fats, proteins and carbohydrates, which themselves, in turn, serve as food for microorganisms. And last, as you are disposing of aqueous waste. Near garbage dumps always flies, unsanitary conditions, and in the compost heap, no flies, no bad smell. And all kinds of pathogens, which can come together with mud, and quickly die as a result of self-improvement content of the heap.

You only need to follow one very simple rule — to cover with earth, all that rot on the surface of the heap.

Instead of soil you can use sawdust, peat. But on earth should not be forgotten. Mobiles than land, the fertile, the more it heals the contents of the heap, faster promotes the pregnany and maturation of the compost.published
