Experienced gardeners shared the secret of making compost, which will become a concentration of nutrients.

To ensure that the fertilizer is of high quality, you need to remember important recommendations.

The compost pit does not necessarily have to be located in the sunniest place of the plot. But it is definitely not worth "pushing" it into the shade. It is necessary that the sun's rays reach the compost pit at least occasionally.

There is no need to make a hole in the soil. But the pile should have access to the soil. Experienced gardeners advise laying compost on the branches of trees and bushes.

Buying special preparations with bacteria that speed up the composting process is a personal choice for summer residents. But experts believe that there is no particular need for them, since there are enough useful microorganisms in the soil that perform similar functions.

Compost needs a lot of moisture. This is one of the main secrets of a truly nutritious fertilizer. During rain, the pile can be opened to collect additional moisture.

But experts do not recommend throwing meat and bones into compost. The compost will be of high quality even without these components, but it will not attract rats and cats to the site.
