Five ways to convert Municipal solid waste into Farm compost
Everyone knows that kitchen waste can be easily converted into plant food through the alchemy of composting. Little is known about all the other items that you can transfer from the household waste stream and use in the garden.
Old beer = bait
In the morning after the party, no one likes to clean up the drudgery of the wounded soldiers. But what if some of the beer consumed has a higher purpose? Because snails and slu are are attracted to yeast, gardeners have long used beer as bait and death traps. To make your slu pub bar, simply fill a shallow container with beer and stay in the garden. Sticky molluscs enter and drown.
Old liquid soap = organic pest control
Sometimes we buy more toiletries than we need (you know who you are). This means that we don't always use the last point of organic lavender shower gel before six people accumulate in the shower. Fortunately, liquid soap is a very effective organic insecticide for soft insects such as aphids, whiteflies, whiteflies and mites. Just mix a teaspoon of soap (all natural varieties only) into a quart-sized spray bottle filled with water and spray.
Cardboard and newspapers = weed control
There is an ugly weed patch that you want to convert into a garden? Raid your recycling bin, spread a thick layer of cardboard and newspaper on top of the vegetation, and then cover it with mulch (such as sawdust or straw) so that it doesn't look scary or blown in the wind. Known as "flake mulching", this technique kills weeds, kills them and compost them in place. After a few weeks, you can cut holes in the cardboard and newspaper layers to plant seedlings.
Eggshell = tomato tonic
You can add eggshells to the compost pile if necessary, but you can consider storing them in plants that really benefit from the calcium they contain. For example, when growing in ordinary garden soil, tomatoes are usually slightly deficient in calcium. Many gardeners swear that sprinkling the broken shells of 12 eggs from the roots of each dozen tomatoes during planting will help prevent diseases such as flowering and rot and produce better crops.
Urine = liquid fertilizer
There is no denying that this one is set for hardcore DIY. Urination has a very high content of nitrogen and is the most important nutrient for plant growth. In fact, it is so powerful that you need to dilute the fertilizer at least four to one before applying it. Most urine fertilizer lovers only need to collect it in buckets or Mason cans. Use it immediately or it will start to stink. If this concept interests you, you may like our article about human beings.
