The best fertilizer is that with which it was possible to increase yields and not to worsen the condition of the soil. We will figure out what and how to fertilize without harming the ecosystem. Organic fertilizers were created by nature itself, so they are safe.

Manure

Greenhouses, potato fields and beds are fertilized with cow, pork, sheep, goat, horse manure, etc. Among gardeners, the remnants of horse life are especially appreciated. People say that horses are especially selective in food. If the cow does not shun the "lunch" in the trash, the horse will never touch the spoiled products. She doesn’t eat grass anyhow, but the most valuable. Perhaps the way it is.

Scientists identify a number of other advantages of horse manure over other similar fertilizers, these are:

1. Horse manure dries and decomposes per day. It is lightweight and contains more nutrients.
2. Heat gives up faster.
3. There are fewer weed seeds in it.
4. It does not contain pathogenic microflora.
5. Does not acidify the soil.
6. Well loosens the earth, including heavy.
7. Manure, like fertilizer, has a long-lasting effect. Its remains are stored in the ground up to 5 years.

Compost

Plant and animal waste mixed with earth, sawdust or something else are also good for fertilizing the soil. The organic mixture at the time of use as a top dressing should completely decompose. Compost plays a positive role in the seed planting phase. This product enhances germination.

It is prepared in many ways. Via:

1. Mixtures of slurry and sawdust (peat). It will take a month to prepare. The mixture is exposed to the sun and mixed periodically.
2. Peat and feces compounds. Peat will not only fertilize the soil, but also absorb the unpleasant odors of the second component. The result will be a fast-acting fertilizer, in which there will be twice as much nitrogen as in conventional manure.
3. Combinations of manure and land (70% to 30%). The function of the earth in manure is to absorb ammonia, which provokes the loss of nitrogen and organic matter.
4. Peeling vegetables, fruits and shells. Eggs, fish, meat, etc. You can’t add - the mixture will rot. Food compost is prepared for six months.

Compost diluted with water can be used to water plants. To increase the concentration of nutrients, slurry insist in the sun for up to one month.

Siderata

These are plants that act as fertilizers for crops.

Their benefits are:

1. Enrichment of the earth with natural nitrogen.
2. Prevent Weed Growth.
3. Protect green crops from bacteria and fungi.
4. Prevention of erosion, air tightness of the soil.

Siderats include:

1. Buckwheat.
2. Cereals: millet, barley, rye, oats, wheat.
3. Shiritsa, amaranth.
4. Cruciferous: rapeseed, mustard, colza, oil radish.
5. Beans: beans, peas, clover, alfalfa, soybeans, melilot, etc.
6. Marigolds, sunflowers.

Landing Methods:

1. Separately in the garden.
2. Between the rows.
3. Together with vegetables.

Sow the seeds of green plants in the open ground. They are growing very fast. The roots of green manure are branched, elastic. Due to these properties, they inhibit weeds, which through dense networks simply can not break through.

After the plants have grown, the tops are mowed and laid either on top of the ground or deep into the soil. This is done even after the crop has been harvested.

Mulch

Another means of natural protection of the soil and improve its quality. The earth in nature is always covered by something: foliage, stones, etc. The civilization and the tendency of modern people to "order" have led to the exposure of the soil.

The benefits of mulching:

1. Prevents rotting of the crop.
2. It provokes the multiplication of beneficial microorganisms.
3. Fills the soil with organic matter, improving its structure.
4. Protects the top layer of the earth from weathering, plant roots - from a temperature difference.
5. It retains moisture in the root zone.
6. For mulch, hay, sawdust, fallen leaves, straw, pine and spruce needles are suitable.

Now you can choose the fertilizer that is best suited for your garden. Feed the plants and get a good harvest.
