Organic fertilizers are used to improve soil structure, obtain abundant harvests and plant health.
Types of organic fertilizers.
Manure is rightly recognized as the most popular and high-quality fertilizer. Plants are fed with liquid manure (1 part of fresh cow manure: 20 parts of water), to which it is also recommended to add quality fertilizers meristem, from early spring to mid-summer, once every 2 weeks. Fruit trees and shrubs, strawberries, perennial and annual flowers receive the necessary amount of phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen and many other useful microorganisms.
In the autumn, last year's manure is introduced when digging into the trunk circles of trees, once every 2 years. Fertilizing plants with fresh cow manure is not recommended, you can burn the roots. Fresh horse manure does not cause any harm to plants, they can be safely fed to all crops.
Peat is considered to be the next most widely used. Seedlings are grown on peat mixtures, they are added to composts, and to increase the acidity of the soil, the trunk circles are mulched. Peat land is formed under piles of peat and is a good addition when making various composts.
Feces are used for fertilizing compost heaps, leaf and coniferous litter. Every garden plot has a compost pile. Food waste, weeds with roots, and wood ash are dumped there. All this is covered with layers of earth or peat, dug up twice a season. Ready compost is an excellent fertilizer for all plants. Leaf and coniferous waste are also considered high-quality material for compost preparation.
The residue is piled up and poured with liquid manure. Applying such compost to the soil improves its structure. Bird droppings are also used to fertilize plants. Use it with great care, strictly observing the proportions when applying. Sapropel or silt is the most valuable organic fertilizer. Before applying to the soil, it is necessary to freeze it in the open air.
Green manure is widely used in horticulture. Peas, lupins or clover are sown on an empty plot. After flowering, dig up the ground together with the plants, enriching the soil with a complex of useful substances. Gardeners are happy to use liquid green fertilizer. Cut grass is placed in a barrel with water and allowed to ferment. Plants are sprayed and watered with this solution.
