Fermented organic fertilizer is a good fertilizer that can help provide the nutrients needed by the soil and improve soil structure. Here are the basic ways to use weeds to make fermented organic fertilizer::
Collect weeds: Start by collecting fresh weeds, try to choose weeds that are free of seeds and pests and diseases, and avoid using weeds that have already flowered or fruited to avoid introducing weed seeds.
Chop the weeds: Cut the collected weeds into small pieces to facilitate the subsequent compost fermentation process. You can use scissors or a hoe to chop it.
Compost stacking: In a well-ventilated field, stack weeds in turn, preferably mixed with other organic matter, such as food waste, straw, etc., to provide more carbon and nitrogen sources and facilitate the fermentation process.
Add fermentation starter: In order to speed up the fermentation process, you can add some fermentation starter, such as well-rotted compost or special compost fungus preparations, which can promote the activity of microorganisms in the compost and accelerate the decomposition and transformation of organic matter.
Turning the compost regularly: During the compost fermentation process, the compost needs to be turned regularly (about every month), so that the weeds in the compost can be fully exposed to oxygen and promote the fermentation.
Fermentation time: Generally speaking, the fermentation time of weed compost takes about 2-3 months, and the specific time will be affected by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Use mature compost: When the compost is fermented, it becomes a black-brown, fluffy organic fertilizer, which can be used in the vegetable garden or garden to provide nutrients to the plants.
Through these steps, you can make weeds into organic fertilizers that provide abundant nutrients to your plants, while also being able to effectively treat weeds and make them more resourceful.
