Instruction
1. The best season for creation of kompostnik - fall as during this season on kitchen garden there is a lot of vegetable waste. In the location of kompostnik the ground level needs to be raised. For example, for kompostnik with sizes of one and a half by one and a half meter fill layer of the earth there have to be about 15 centimeters.
2. The site for preparation of compost is divided into 3 parts: one for initial material and two others with tanks for composting and already ready compost.
3. Compost heap in the form of pyramid - the simplest option. On each side the sizes of such pyramid are limited to boards. One more simple option is to dig superficial hole, about 40 cm. It is possible to create special capacity: brick, boards, wire, old barrel. Kompostnik do with two sections, for separate storage of raw and ready compost.
4. That process went quickly, all material is carefully crushed. Material develops layers, being narrowed up, height of pyramid should not exceed one and a half meters. Cover kompostnik with hay, straw or leaves.
5. Enough air has to get to compost heap, otherwise it will just decay. For air exchange the hole needs to be shoveled. During heat the compost pyramid is watered, and during rains covered with cellophane.
6. That air in kompostnik circulated, and was dewatered, its base layer is created from large pieces, and the following layers alternate from brushwood and green waste. The ratio has to be 1:2.
7. For receiving quality humus between layers of waste place animal manure thin layer. All this should be covered with layer of the earth or last year's humus.
