AGRICULTURE: COMPOSING PROCESS

In the composting process, the quality of the materials that will be used is important, since they influence the entire process, the duration of the composting process, that is, the time that elapses from when we place the organic materials until we obtain the fertilizer .

It will depend on the characteristics of the material used, therefore, the quality of these will determine that the process is fast or slow.

To grow, live healthy and prolong its vegetative cycle, plants only need light, water, carbon dioxide and many macronutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and micronutrients, and all these elements are contained in fertilizers based on materials. organic as the "compost", chemical fertilizers lack some of these elements so necessary for plants, in addition to poison the earth.

For this reason, alternative fertilizers based on compost, tend to replace chemical fertilizers, that is why we must learn to prepare them.

Composition on the other hand is a product that is obtained after sending different materials of organic origin (household waste, animal manure, egg shells, paper, cardboard, wood, dried leaves, straws, crop remains, etc.)

To a biological process of controlled fermentation called composting, where many microorganisms perform the decomposition process of these organic materials. This product is used as a fertilizer in agriculture and gardening.

So that once this process is completed, we will have a liquid called humus or compost tea, to be applied as foliar fertilizer in the plants, conserving the properties of the original material, in this type of preparation there are no risks, in that it can cause affections to the plants, like burns on the leaves, because, we are using a compost material that had already reached its maturity, and on the other hand, the nitrogen concentrations are simpler, I have used 1/2 liter of this biofertilizer for sprinklers of 20 liters of water, and has given me good results in vegetable crops, can also be combined with fungicides.

If you want small amounts of biofertilizer, you can process it in a small container, complying with the proportions.
