During the season, gardeners and vegetable growers do a lot of work, improving their plots: collecting leaves, pruning trees and shrubs, etc.
The best solution for the disposal of this plant waste, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , is to compost this organic matter.
If all the rules are followed, mature compost can be obtained within a season, experienced gardeners are sure.
If the compost has not had time to mature, most likely the farmer made a mistake.
Incorrect construction of a compost heap
If you want to get loose and crumbly compost as quickly as possible, you should not add only mown/cut grass to the pile.
It is essential to place large plant remains on the bottom to ensure oxygen and better functioning of beneficial fungi and bacteria. It is also essential to alternate layers.
Lack of beneficial microorganisms
Another important condition for the rapid processing of compost, which for some unknown reason is ignored by many summer residents, is the introduction of various beneficial microorganisms.
Suitable options: Trichoderma, bioseptics for treatment pits and sewage systems, bioactivators for cesspools and septic tanks, etc.
