- - tools (pitchfork, shovel).
Instruction
1. Manure is very valuable fertilizer, but in the fresh not processed look it is not recommended to bring it in the soil. In it many gases which harm plant roots are formed as a result of peregnivaniye. Plants get chemical burn, cease to develop and perish. Besides in the course of decomposition, fresh manure generates large amount of heat. Temperature about +50 °C is adverse for development of root system of plants too. Therefore before entering into the soil fresh manure is processed, receiving from it humus.
2. Manure is taken out from stall of animals and it develops in friable heap. In friable state the process of decomposition will quicker go. That manure "has fused", it should be humidified in the put heap. It is necessary to do it constantly, without allowing its drying. In several days temperature of manure weight will rise up to +45 … 55 °C. It bacteria begin to work. Will process manure of bacterium, depending on the heap size, from two to four months. Then it will turn into diverse brown weight with elements of excrements, residues of straw and other laying. It is already semi-rerotting manure which has gone through the first stage of decomposition which is ready for entering into the soil.
3. For receiving quality humus in manure (especially cattle) there has to be not less than a half of laying. If the laying initially contains in it less, to manure heap it is necessary to mix foliage, tops of vegetable of plants, straw. It is necessary to add leaves, straw and peat 2/3 from manure volume to pork manure.
4. Depending on peregnivaniye degree, manure is divided into four categories: fresh, semi-rerotting, not completely rerotting and completely rerotting – humus. Not completely rerotting manure can be received in 5-7 months. Completely rerotting manure represents the friable mass of dark brown or black color in which there are no residues of excrements, plants and elements of laying. In order that manure completely perepret and has turned into humus, it is necessary to allow it to have a complete rest not less than a year.
