Composting is a process of degradation by bacteria and fungi agencies. Large quantities of organic compounds kitchen, garden, lawn, and / or refuse the farm can be reduced, in a relatively short time for a lot of black, lumpy of humus soil is ideal conditioner.
Recently regularly compost in the soil will certainly enjoy the Earth. Improving the soil structure, given that contains humic substances, leading to what aggregation (paste) to Earth particles. In a clay soil, it means that microscopic particles are clumped more air and open space between songs. Without this airspace, noise particles adhere firmly to another and form an almost impenetrable barrier of water and gas. That is why the sound is so sticky, humid and if it’s difficult, if arduous.
In sandy soils, most of sand are clumped of humus, humus sum of its nutrients and moisture-holding capacity. Normally, water and nitrogen fertilizers are experiencing rapid sandy soil, it is necessary to give them often.
A less widely recognized, take advantage of compost, it contains humic acids, organic acids and others who help, links are created naturally in soil in the form easier than using the facilities. These elements or ions can then held by the soil particles, which contain many sites ion exchange on their surfaces. The ions in water-soil, plants and roots are able to join them.
There are also many sites ion exchange in the part of the soil, humus increases the buffering capacity of the soil. This condition prevents the rapid leaching of lime and nutrients, and reducing the impact of shipments of lime and fertilizer. For example, if a ground increases the pH is too adding too much wood ash, nature and cost to correct the condition is the rule for the compost, which absorbs (with the exception of the surface) d ‘The other ions high pH. (Compost itself is a bit acidic, acid because the products of micro-organisms.) In other words, the effects of compost buffer other additives to the ground.
Compost and other organic materials is turning the earth dark brown or blackish and increases the capacity absorbing heat, to a lesser extent. Compost reduce soil erosion, because it allows versickern water in the lower layers of soil, instead of magma, and then goes off. This quality also reduces crust of the earth. The compost provides food to the rain, soil, insects and micro-organisms, many of whom are in the year, helping the population balance of less desirable soil fauna. Mykorrhiza-fungi, which have shown that plants benefit from their relationship with plant roots, are also high in humus fertile land. Finally, products made from the structure of plant and animal refuse contain many nutrients and for themselves, including trace elements are not often used by fertilizers.
