How to speed up the maturation of compost: 3 simple methods that any gardener can handle
As you know, water, air and high temperature are needed to produce compost.
In addition, according to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , the preparation of valuable fertilizer is impossible without special microorganisms.
Their purpose is to promote the decomposition of organic matter.
From this we can conclude that the more of these microorganisms there are in the compost pit, the faster the compost maturation process occurs.
How can an ordinary summer resident influence their number? It turns out that there are as many as 3 ways to do this.
1. Some microorganisms end up in your compost along with the plant waste you put in there.
2. To increase the number of microorganisms, you can add a small amount of ready-made fertilizer or garden soil to the composter.
3. Do not forget about the existence of special compost accelerators. They are designed not only to quickly increase the number of those same microorganisms, but also to increase their activity.
