How to make fertilization in a quick way?
This question is very often asked by novice gardeners who do not yet have sufficient practical experience. The structure is best placed on the ground or in a prepared pit. Good drainage is needed, made from hay or straw. Laying compost layers is interspersed with processing with the Baikal accelerator, which contains a sufficient amount of nitrogen. You can use another drug with similar properties. In the case of dense stacking of layers, the quality of the fertilizer can be damaged. For example, the layers can consist of branches taken from fruit trees and other fruit waste. Dry leaves, paper, mown annual grasses are also suitable. It is important not to forget to alternate layers of material with accelerator treatment. Only in this case it is possible to achieve normal ventilation of the air and obtain high-quality compost at the exit.
To get the correct temperature regime, you should cover the structure with oilcloth, a piece of linoleum, and unnecessary rags. Be sure to turn the composition once a month. If there are dry summer days, in order to maintain normal humidity, it is required to water the fertilizer with a hose. The smell is also important. If it is ammoniacal, then you have overdone the amount of accelerator. Adding shredded paper will help.
When you smell rotten eggs, the problem is lack of oxygen. The solution is to add shavings or straw to the composition. Normally, quick compost can be used after 2 months.

Such that it can freely fit a large number of logs, foliage, branches. All components must be crushed. Then they are placed in a pit and fall asleep. The scheme of the compost heap is as follows - at the bottom of the box is the ripe compost, then the maturing compost is located, and the covering layer completes the structure. It is advised to put the box in the far corner of the garden. It's great if partial shade will be created there.
Fertilizer in bags
When you do not have a large personal plot on which to place a compost pit, storing fertilizer in bags will help. They must be black and dense. The top layer of the earth should be removed from the development site. Together with weeds and grass, it is placed in prepared bags, and vermicompost must be poured into it.Instead of this drug, it is permissible to use any similar stimulant. When all the steps are completed, the bags must be rewound with tape. When, after a few months, they are open, you can count on getting high-quality compost.
