Some gardeners simply put manure on the ground near the garden and use it whenever possible.
However, if this fertilizer is stored incorrectly, it can lead to losses of nitrogen, which is important for plants in the spring.
There are three ways of storing - cold, hot and combined. But we suggest choosing the last method.
Let us pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why you should pay attention to the combined method
In this case, ripening occurs quickly, and nitrogen and other compounds are preserved without significant losses.
It is enough to pile the manure, but do not compact it. It is necessary to make sure that the manure is loose, but the height of the pile does not exceed 1.8 meters.
The temperature in such a pile can rise to 70 degrees. When the temperature begins to drop, the manure needs to be compacted.
To do this, you need to water it and place a 40 cm layer of peat on top.
