What components can and cannot be used to prepare compost: what should not be forgotten
Compost is an organic fertilizer that increases productivity and improves the quality of soil in the garden.
In this article, we will tell you what can and cannot be added to compost.
How to form compost correctly
To do this, you need to collect leaves in the fall, place it in bags, and add water and a preparation for making compost.
Lay the compost like a cake with filling, in thin layers, about 5 centimeters thick.
Don't forget that the compost should be loose, moist and saturated.
Alternately place wet, nitrogen-containing waste and coarse, carbon-containing waste.
You can also add some soil to the compost.
In addition to leaves, experienced gardeners often add chicken droppings, coffee cake, vegetable and fruit peelings, sawdust, ash and eggshells to the compost.
Under no circumstances should you add any meat, dairy products, chicken eggs, fat, or bones to the compost bin.
Because they decompose slowly, they cause odors and can attract rodents.
You should also not add pet feces or weeds with seeds to the compost.
