The beginning of summer season - good occasion at last to equip on the site the place for compost maturing. It will allow not only to receive fertilizers, but also it is essential to simplify process of disposal of part of waste.
Up or down? Each summer resident chooses - to do him compost heap or hole. The second speaks well the fact that in hole raw materials ripen quicker, dries less and is evenly humidified. But to take out couple of cubic meters of soil for hole - pleasure so-so. By and large seldom who is capable to approach formation of compost in due form of science so for beginners after all heap will become simpler and suitable option. For it choose the warm pritenenny and windless place, it is the best of all outside the site or in its corner, near the latrine. Consider that the smell of compost is not palatable so it is better to form heap so that wind not often informed of its aroma the house.
Not decaying materials - slate, plastic, iron, etc. well will be suitable for heap protection. The traditional box from wooden boards will serve few years and soon itself will turn into part of compost. The size of box has to be not less than 1х1 m, otherwise in heap the rotting process can not begin. In height the protection is done too by about 1 m.
The bottom of the turned-out box cannot be dimmed film or boards, it is better to dig over the earth and to put from above the branches which are cut off from fruit-trees. After that it is possible to cook puff compost pie: 20-30 cm of vegetable waste powder with thin layer of the earth and again stack organic chemistry.
In compost heap it is possible and it is necessary to put: tops of vegetable, hay, the dried mowed grass, sawdust, fallen leaves, peat, manure, bird's dung, ashes, scraps of vegetables, a few mineral fertilizers. Categorically it is impossible to add to it the infected plants, bones, glass, plastic, waste from toilet, meat scraps (they will easily attract rodents), obsemenivshiyesya weeds. Serious approach is demanded also by need to carefully crush waste, to mix them with special additives and stimulators. However in real life very few people do it especially as otherwise compost all the same ripens, only a little longer.
It is easy to look after compost heap. During heat it is covered from drying and sometimes spilled water, but so that heap was not constantly crude. Once a month contents should be shoveled. Heap has begun to sink? Means, decomposition process has gone inside. On winter heap is filled up with earth layer in 15 cm, covered with film and boards, press edges stones or bricks.
It is the best of all to get two or three compost heaps nearby every year to receive fresh portion of fertilizer and to prepare basis for new.
