    HOW TO ACCELERATE THE MATURE OF COMPOST
    The rapid maturation of the compost is facilitated by its monthly shoveling. It is necessary to ensure that the mass is moist at all times. It is better to water the compost with warm water with a mullein, consuming 30-40 liters of solution.

    Can kitchen waste be composted in winter?
    Or is it better not to disturb the bunch?

      - The compost heap can also be refilled in winter. Remove the frozen top and compost your kitchen waste. Sprinkle them constantly with peat crumb, sawdust, straw chopping, or prepared earth. It is better not to touch the middle and lower parts of the heap: cold air that gets there will slow down microbiological processes. Please note that it is undesirable to add greasy waste, bones and animal proteins to compost.

    Properly prepared compost improves soil fertility and improves its structure. And the “wrong” one only clogs the plot with weed seeds. A place under the compost pit is usually allotted in a secluded corner of the garden. Or install special boxes. Some gardeners lay out the compostar’s walls of brick with a partial burial in the ground and make two or three compartments.
    Compost can consist of peat, manure, sawdust, chopped branches, leaves, and other organic waste. Excellent fertilizer is obtained from the shot turf, which is folded grass down. All contents must be interbedded with wood ash, slaked lime. I also like to use crushed bones - meal, with which compost is “tastier” to plants.

    Even if there is no pit, you can put everything in a heap. During the summer, it is watered several times and shovel. Instead of water, it is good to use slurry. The best days for arranging and filling the compost are May 20-22.
