Organic fertilizer is an indispensable source of nutrients for plant growth, which can not only provide essential nutrients for plants, but also improve the soil structure and enhance the soil's ability to retain water and fertilizer. With the increase of people's awareness of environmental protection, more and more people are beginning to try homemade organic fertilizers. So how do you
make organic fertilizer?
The production principle of organic fertilizer is actually very simple, which is to use microorganisms to decompose organic matter and convert it into nutrients that plants can absorb. This process usually takes a certain amount of time and the right environmental conditions. Common methods for making organic fertilizers include composting, compost and fermentation.
Composting is one of the most common methods of
making organic fertilizer. It uses natural microorganisms to decompose organic waste, such as kitchen waste, fallen leaves, straw, and so on, and finally forms nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. The key to making compost is to maintain proper humidity and ventilation to promote microbial activity. In general, the water content of the compost should be maintained at 60% 75%, and water droplets can be squeezed out when the material is gripped by the hand. At the same time, the internal temperature of the compost pile should be controlled at 50-60 ° C to kill harmful germs and eggs.
Compost method is mainly suitable for the disposal of plant organic waste, such as straw, leaves and so on. This method usually takes a longer time, but the resulting fertilizer is of higher quality. The key to compost is to maintain an anaerobic environment, which can be achieved by sealing the container or covering the soil.
Fermentation is a quick way to
make organic fertilizer. It uses specific microorganisms to speed up the decomposition process of organic material. For example, you can use EM multi-functional fermentation bacteria, the organic waste such as rice bran, rice husk, etc., fully mix evenly, adjust the moisture content to 30% 40%, and then spray EM multi-functional fermentation bacteria, cover with transparent film. Fermentation is usually completed in 3-5 days (summer) or 10-15 days (spring) at suitable temperatures.
