Compost Information

Compost:

scientists say compost piles need porosity, (the ability for air to move into the compost pile).

microbes also need the right amount of water .

is also the perfect ingredient for vegetable gardens to give plants essential nutrients.

matures into what soil scientists call active organic matter: a dark, crumbly soil amendment that’s rich with beneficial earthworms, fungi and bacteria, as well as the enzymes and acids these life-forms release as they multiply.


also contains substances that enhance plants’ ability to respond to challenges from insects and diseases.

helps plants grow better by improving the soil’s structure and water-holding capacity, and by increasing the supply of nutrients the soil provides for your plants.

can be added to bedding mixture when growing plants or starting seedlings in  containers .

improves both the physical condition and the fertility of the soil when added to the landscape or garden.

also increases the activity of soil microorganisms that release nutrients and other growth-promoting materials into the soil.

piles develop best when built in layers.

is ready to use when it is dark brown and crumbly and has an earthy smell.

would be the result due to the managed biological breaking down of natural and organic materials that's been sterilized from the generation of high temperature and stabilized to the level that it's useful to plant development.

is made from the action of aerobic (requiring oxygen) microbes.
will likely enhance the cation exchange total capacity of soils, making it possible for them to keep nutrients for a longer period.

or manure really should be added in, following the harvest of springtime and autumn crops. This allows for vitamins and minerals to get renewed to the soil and provides them sufficient time to get integrated with the subsequent growing season.

use your coffee grounds to reduce waste material and make organic fertilizer.

is loaded with plant nutrients, even so; compost will put out some nutrients right away and the remainder gradually over 5 to 7 years.

modifies the soil, counteracting either acidity and alkalinity soils, taking the pH levels towards the best possible range for plants.

is often put together with equal portions of soil and sand to make a great potting mix.

decayed material is nature’s method of dealing with dead plant life.
