Compost can be made not only at the dacha, but also at home - this will allow you to better prepare for the coming season.

To prepare compost, you can take a plastic container, put cardboard, organic waste and worms on the bottom.

Of course, you can use several containers depending on the number of beds in your garden.

Please pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

What waste is suitable for compost

Any plant waste can be used, as animal waste causes rotting processes.

Leftover vegetables, fruits, tea leaves, coffee grounds, leaves and flowers of houseplants (but not poisonous ones) and even uncolored napkins in small quantities are suitable.

It is better to grind solid waste. Do not use moldy waste or yeast bread for the EM container. Each layer of organic matter should be sprayed with EM preparations.

Add waste no more than once a day. Before adding, think about whether this type of waste is suitable for worms.
