A large number of fallen leaves, which, no matter what, appear in the fall on every site, spoils the aesthetic appearance of the area, complicates cleaning the territory and brings with it many more unpleasant discoveries.
At the same time, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , there are many ways to make good use of fallen leaves.
In this article we will tell you about such an option for using fallen leaves in the household as mulching.
To begin with, let us remember that the leaves that have fallen from the trees contain many macro- and microelements that the plant roots took from the soil during its growth.
That's why you should cover the tree trunks with fallen leaves.
Trees are genetically adapted to use their own rotted leaves as food, which in this case go through a natural composting stage.
This process, interestingly enough, can be accelerated.
In order for the processing of fallen leaves to proceed faster, they need to be watered with the biological preparation “Baikal” (or any other EM preparation), “Trichodermin” or “FitoDoctor”.
Earlier we told you why you shouldn’t throw away the peels from eaten tangerines.
