That the soil is fertile in the garden or orchard is essential to be able to cultivate and that the plants grow much faster and healthier, since they will receive better nutrients. Thus, the more organic the compost and the less chemical components it has, the better it will be to fertilize the soil we want to congregate.
Collect organic waste from your trash. Remember that to make natural fertilizer, in addition to the waste (peels, fruits, vegetables …) we can also use garden waste such as herbs, plants or leaves. It is recommended that you do not incorporate animal remains, as well as oils, dairy products, diseased plants or chemical substances such as pesticides or herbicides.
Choose a place in the garden and make a hole in the ground. This well should be about 50 cm in depth and diameter.
Another very common method is to use a container without a lid with holes in the surface.
Put the organic materials into the well and cover them with soil. Every day you can incorporate a little soil.
Cover the top of the hole with cloth, sheet metal, or wire mesh. In this way you will prevent the rain water from seeping in and puddling.
Aerate the waste pile once a week. You can use a rake and move the waste from outside to inside. With this method, you will prevent the waste from compacting.
Check that the materials are decomposing properly. Note that the compost needs a correct amount of moisture. To check that it is decomposing well, notice that the pile looks like a damp sponge.
If you start preparing the natural fertilizer in summer, it only takes two or three months to get it ready.
If you make it in winter you will have your subscription in five months. You will know that the fertilizer is ready when you can no longer distinguish the original waste.
The compost will be dark brown in color and should smell of wet soil.
After this time, you can now add natural fertilizer to your plants, which will grow healthier and stronger.
Follow these simple steps and learn how to make natural fertilizer from home and easily.
