Fallen leaves retting into rotten leaf soil

Operation steps:

1. Stroll around the neighborhood or park and you can collect a big bag full of fallen leaves. Leaves are best to choose some large leaves, such as Wutong, maple leaves, etc. p>

2. Prepare some garden soil, or replace the soil with insufficient nutrition

3. The sandwich composting method is adopted, that is, a layer of soil and a layer of fallen leaves are covered in turn. First, find an empty barrel or flower pot and pad the bottom with about 5cm thick garden soil

4. Spread a layer of fallen leaves on the garden soil, and then pour a little water to soak all the fallen leaves

5. Repeat this several times, and finally cover the top end of the flowerpot with a layer of garden soil with a thickness of about 8-10cm

6. In order to speed up the fermentation, you can put the flowerpot or plastic bucket under the sun, and then cover the whole flowerpot with a plastic bag, leaving only a small gap for ventilation. In a few months, all the fallen leaves can be decomposed and stirred evenly with the garden soil to become a nutrient rich soil. Just plant flowers directly

Benefits of growing flowers in rotten leaf soil:

1. Leaf rot soil contains some organic matter, auxin and trace elements, which can promote the rapid development of flowers and plants

2. The gap of rotten leaf soil is relatively large, which will not harden the soil even if it is used for a long time

3. Rotten leaf soil is loose and breathable, and has strong ability to retain water and fertilizer. In addition, it will generate heat during fermentation, kill some bacteria in the soil and keep the flowers from rotting

Composting of kitchen sundries

Operation steps:

1. Although it's autumn now, some vegetables and fruits at home are still easy to rot. We can collect these rotten things for composting, but they are very nutritious fertilizer

2. Collect rotten vegetable leaves, fruits, or leftover fish bones, debris and other things, put them in a large plastic bucket, add some water, cover and seal them

3. In order to speed up the fermentation, the plastic barrel can be exposed to the sun at an interval of about 2-4 days. Open the cover to disperse the gas. It can be retted in about 2-3 months. After retting, water the flowers directly with water in the ratio of 1:10

4. If you don't want to Rett fertilizer and water, you can also Rett vegetable leaves and rotten fruits directly with garden soil. First put a layer of soil at the bottom of the basin, then add a layer of vegetable leaves, and so on until the flowerpot is filled, and then add a little water. After a few months, it is proved that the vegetable leaves have disappeared completely

Benefits of kitchen sundries and flowers:

1. Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten fruits are plants in themselves, so they contain high nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. After full ripening, they can provide sufficient nutrients for flowers and plants to grow more vigorously and bloom more

2. Whether it is rotten vegetable leaves, fruits, or leftover bones and other sundries, they must be fully decomposed before they can be used, otherwise they are particularly easy to burn roots

Pine needle soil

Operation steps:

1. Now pine trees are planted in many places. In autumn, a thick layer of pine needles fall under the pine trees. Find a plastic bag and dig the pine needles back under the pine trees. It's great to raise flowers

2. Put the collected pine needles in the sun or scald them with boiling water for sterilization and disinfection, and then put them in plastic bags. It's best to add a little garden soil and sprinkle a little water after crushing

3. After sealing the plastic bag, it can be fermented in a place with high temperature. It can also be placed in nanyangtai or yard. If the temperature is high, it can be completely decomposed in about 2-3 months

4. Stir the fully decomposed pine needles and garden soil, and you can directly use them as nutrient soil for raising flowers

5. If some flower friends think it takes too long to use pine needles for composting, they can also directly spread the sterilized pine needles on the surface of the flowerpot for about 2-3cm. The pine needles have strong water permeability and can reduce the rotten roots

Benefits of planting flowers with pine needle soil:

1. Pine needle soil is fertile, which contains many microorganisms and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It belongs to slightly acidic soil

2. It has a good anti insect effect, such as termites, to prevent insects from harming plants

Fish intestines retting

Operation steps:

1. It's time for rose and other compound flowers in autumn. In order to bloom more in autumn, we must apply some nutrient rich fertilizer to the flowers, such as fish intestines fertilizer. Fish intestines can be sold in the vegetable market, where fish are sold

2. Find an empty plastic bottle, put fish intestines in it, then add some water, seal it and expose it to the sun. Open the lid every 3-5 days to breathe. If you're afraid that the fish intestines are too smelly, add some EM bacteria

3. In about three months, the fish intestine water can be retted. Mix the fish intestines fertilizer and clean water in the ratio of 1:20 and water the flowers directly. Fish intestines fertilizer contains more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. If it is used on plants that bloom in autumn, it can make their flowers colorful and grow more prosperous

4. If some flower friends dislike that the time of retting is too long, they can also directly Rett the fish intestines with the soil. A layer of soil, a layer of fish intestines, and so on until the flowerpot is filled

5. If there are flower friends raising flowers in the yard, they can also dig a big pit directly next to the flowers, about 20cm away from the surface of the basin soil, bury the fish intestines, and then cover the fish intestines with soil. Fish intestines ferment slowly in the soil, and nutrients can be provided to the roots to make the flowers grow more prosperous

Benefits of fish intestines and flowers:

1. Fish intestines contain high nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer. After retting, they are used for flowers, which can make the leaves of flowers plump, grow strong and blossom large and many

2. When using fish intestines for composting, it is particularly easy to breed bacteria and recruit some small insects. Therefore, when composting, you can spray some pesticides or add some EM bacteria, which can not only deodorize, but also accelerate fermentation

Earthworm soil, earthworm dung

Operation steps:

1. First, prepare an empty plastic bucket or flower pot, and then put a layer of soil and kitchen sundries in the plastic bucket, such as egg shells and rotten vegetable leaves, which are covered in turn until the plastic bucket is filled

2. Catch 3-5 earthworms in the field and put them directly in plastic buckets. It's best to catch earthworms after the rain. The probability of success is higher

3. After that, put the lid on the plastic bucket and don't completely seal it. It's best to leave a gap for air circulation. It can be retted in about 2-3 months

4. If you can't accept earthworms, you can go to the community or the field to pick up some earthworm dung. Earthworm dung is a kind of curved small yellow or gray soil

5. If you pick up a lot of earthworm dung, you can mix the garden soil and earthworm dung in the ratio of 3:1, so you can not apply fertilizer in the next two years, but the fertilizer effect is very strong

6. If you pick up earthworm dung after the rain, or the amount of earthworm dung is relatively small, you can directly put earthworm dung on the surface of the flower pot, so that when watering the flowers, you can let the nutrients in earthworm dung flow into the soil with the water

Benefits of raising flowers with earthworm soil and earthworm dung:

1. Earthworms can transform hard soil into loose soil with fertility, so as to loosen the soil and fertilize. They can also increase beneficial microorganisms and contribute to the growth of flowers and plants

2. Earthworm dung is a nutrient that earthworms convert into after digestion. This nutrient can meet the growth needs of flowers and plants, and no matter how much earthworm dung is put, it will not cause flowers and plants to burn roots, so it can be called a beneficial fertilizer

Sawdust composting

Operation steps:

1. When decorating the home, there are often some sawdust left. Many flower friends throw away these sawdust. In fact, it is very easy to use sawdust to raise flowers. But the sawdust must be solid wood sawdust. Some glue will remain on the sawdust of synthetic board, which is toxic. Don't use it

2. Mix the sawdust with the soil in the ratio of 1:1, put it in a plastic bucket, add a little water to wet the sawdust, seal the pocket and expose it to the sun, so as to speed up the fermentation

3. In about three months, sawdust can be fully decomposed. When sawdust is decomposed, it will produce a lot of heat, and many bacteria and insects in the soil will be directly killed. When the sawdust turns dark brown, it can be regarded as composting

4. When the sawdust is rotten, you can plant flowers directly. Many experienced flower friends will choose to use sawdust to raise Clivia and orchid, which is loose and breathable, so that the flower will never rot

Benefits of growing flowers with sawdust:

1. Sawdust is loose, breathable and has strong drainage. It can also adjust the pH of the soil, so that the flowers will not rot and the roots will grow vigorously

2. Sawdust is relatively hygienic, easy to use, light in weight, and labor-saving when moving
