1 L = 2 m3.
Organic waste composting activator.
Composting accelerator - effectively activates the process of creating organic compost due to the rapid development of soil microorganisms.
Dosage and application: stir 250-500 ml of the product in 10 liters of water. This solution volume is designed for processing 1 m3 of compost mass.
You will have to vary the concentration of the solution depending on the structure of the existing compost: if it contains a lot of organic waste containing fiber (leaves, grass cuttings, potato peelings, etc.), then proportionally raise the rate above 250.
To improve air exchange, it is advisable to periodically mix the compost mass, and to ensure sufficient moisture, add chopped branches and bark of deciduous trees (the smaller, the faster the compost will mature). Store the product at a temperature of +5 .. + 30 ° C (if stored correctly, the shelf life is not limited).
* Main periods of compost decomposition:
Start period. This is the primary phase of decomposition of raw material, in which the simplest soil microorganisms participate. Due to self-heating, the temperature in the compost quickly increases to +60+70°C. There are no developed microorganisms, and protozoa feed on easily decomposing protein and sugar, cellulose and fats.
Reconstruction period. Microorganisms increase their numbers: actinomycetes, penicillium, yeast fungus, capitate mold, spirillum. The temperature in this phase drops to +30+35°C, fungal growth is activated, gas exchange improves, ammonia forms organic compounds, and the C:N ratio decreases.
Synthesis period (formation of immature compost). The temperature drops to +20°C. The mass begins to be populated by soil organisms of higher development: dung worms, woodlice, and forktails. Organic substances are converted into a form accessible to plants. The compost becomes dark in color and can already be used as an immature mulching product.
Maturation period. The temperature of the compost is compared with the natural temperature of the soil, decomposition processes are stopped, and the need for oxygen is reduced. The C:N ratio becomes approximately 20:1. Such compost is characterized by a loose earthy structure with a healthy smell of forest soil caused by the activity of actinomycetes. This compost is ready for use.
