A folk method that speeds up the maturation of compost and gives it another useful property.

Those who do not particularly need compost can afford a long maturation. But what if you need it as soon as possible? After all, compost will fertilize and loosen the soil.

In this case, all processes need to be accelerated. Many methods have been created and tested for this purpose.

Experienced gardeners have found that lactic acid bacteria contained in kefir and whey promote rapid fermentation of the substrate, which contains carbohydrates.

Lactic acid aerobic microflora forms organic acids during its life processes. They suppress the development of putrefactive bacteria and mold.

Compost matures faster and acquires a new ability - healing. Such fertilizer has healing properties for the soil.

And to prepare the product, you should mix a liter of unpasteurized kefir or whey in 10 liters of water. This mixture is used to moisturize organic matter.

Note

To speed up the maturation of compost, you can also use special preparations containing fungi of the genus Trichoderma. This is a useful fungus that decomposes organic matter and parasitizes pathogenic microorganisms.
