Compost is already a living material, divided by the combined action of water, air, and the enormous appetite of large numbers of tiny microscopic organisms as well. To see some of the active compound in the wild creatures in nature, such as earthworms, beetles and snails, but there are millions of microscopic organisms that actually pursued in most of the compost. It is these micro-organisms work their magic in a home compost container is stronglyBy reducing the total mass of plant material and ultimately lead to compost for your garden. Without the effect of these starving creatures, we would literally buried under generations of dead plants and years of leaves. Image of a maple tree 100 years old that could create a six-inch layer of leaves on the forest floor every autumn. Without a natural composting action would be up to 50 meters from the leaves, which would certainly have strangled the life of the plant have been around for yearsago. If you dig under that tree fell before the leaves, you should first find a few inches of leaves last year, the upper part, the rather dry. Below is a thinner layer of moist deciduous and then partially disassembled only a loose soil rich in compost that is moist and has a rich smell of earth. This layer is often a foot or so thick first to a less organic soil and, finally, a substrate of sand, stone, clay or whatever the geology ofGiven region.
Compost, you can make an important part of your garden soil. Compost provides many benefits: It improves soil structure, helps retain water and nutrients for plants. If your garden soil is high in clay content, you can compost to assist in the work, breaking tiny mineral particles that make up clay, which actually reduce their ability to adhere to each other again, so water and nutrients to stay slightly in the groundreach the root system of plants. At the same time, the clay particles are farther apart, there will be below the potential of contact for your garden "real" when it dries a little '. If the other side you're dealing with very sandy soil, adding compost and work into it is the moisture and nutrients to keep longer. You may think this way, if you grab a handful of wet sand and try to squeeze out the water, nothing will happen. If on the one hand, press aHandful of compost, it's like squeezing a sponge, because the particles of compost are flexible and can contain millions of tiny pores, or cavities, a huge amount of area equal to the effects valid. An ideal type of soil is often described as "sandy soil", which is a mixture of sand, dead organic matter (compost) and low clay content enough, loose and porous, although it remains designated dry.
A compost-rich soil is often considered to be high in nutrients, but isusually not the case. It should be as compost from garden and kitchen waste, mainly to improve soil structure and an important source of nutrients that plants grow to consider. The exception is if the compost contains a high percentage of composted manure or completely, such as horses o. Made of cow dung. Composted manure is rich in a variety of nutrients, especially nitrogen. Actually, shit, that is not fully composted or mixed with otherComposting materials can do much harm to your plants, as would happen if you add too much fertilizer, that burn in nitrogen. Your compost will be made at home from your plants and have enjoyed a rich and dark, loose texture and a delicious aroma as the sweet land of the forest floor.
