If you want homemade fertilizer to be more effective, you have to do this.

Organic fertilizer has many advantages in growing flowers: it can not only improve soil fertility, but also improve soil fertility.

Unlike chemical fertilizer, the fertilizer effect is fierce and short, and it is used for a long time, resulting in low soil automatic adjustment and easy consolidation.

Self-made organic fertilizer, not only turn waste into treasure, save money to buy chemical fertilizer, but also do it yourself, have a sense of achievement, enrich the fun of growing flowers, fertilizer effect is also leveraged, really get more than one stone.

However, many flower lovers also said that self-made flower fertilizer was not very easy to use, and even watered the flowers to death.

The key lies in the method and time of retting fertilizer, as well as the amount and timing of fertilization.

To make your own flower fertilizer, you must be clear about the following points:

1. What needs to be ripe, how long it will take, and how to judge whether it has completed ripening and fermentation.

2. Self-made flower fertilizer contains fertilizer nutrients, as well as a lot of bacteria and insect pests. How to disinfect it?

3. Know what elements are contained in the flower fertilizer to be retted and what is the effect of application.

4. Know the problem with your flowers and what type of fertilizer you need.

5. Self-made fertilizer should also grasp the dosage and opportunity.

The general retting method of self-made flower fertilizer is as follows:

1. Composting: dig a pit about 20-60 cm deep, put the material in, sprinkle insecticide or disinfectant, and bury it with soil.

Sandwiches can be used, one layer of soil and one layer of raw materials. Plant raw materials are finally covered with soil more than 40 centimeters.

If there is no pit, foam box or large-capacity plastic bucket can be used (need to be deflated regularly).

2. Soak: plastic airtight container, solid water liquid, body retting directly, constant temperature and sunshine, open cover and deflate at intervals, and shake once evenly.

3, retting flower fertilizer, the higher the temperature, the faster the maturity, the greater the flavor.

4. Before the retting of raw materials, it is best to cook and boil, which can greatly speed up the retting speed.

How long does the common homemade flower fertilizer need to be retted, and what nutrients does it contain?

They are rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. Under what circumstances is it more effective to use them?

Nitrogen is not only an important component of protein, but also an important component of chlorophyll, and is one of the most basic substances in plant growth.

With sufficient nitrogen fertilizer, the plant has strong roots and luxuriant leaves.

Lack of nitrogen fertilizer, slow growth, weak roots, small and yellow leaves.

Excessive nitrogen fertilizer, long stems and leaves, slow flowering.

Phosphorus is an important part of plant cells, plants need to have enough phosphorus to enhance their development during the growing period.

Sufficient phosphate fertilizer can promote the prosperity of branches and flowers and fruits.

Insufficient phosphate fertilizer, low branching, flowering and fruiting ability.

Too much phosphate fertilizer will also affect growth and cause decay.

Potassium does not directly participate in the composition of plant growth, it can promote photosynthesis and enhance the synthesis of various nutrients.

Adequate potash fertilizer, strong roots, more beautiful flowers, strong resistance to diseases and insect pests.

Lack of potash fertilizer, poor growth of old leaves, scorched, black and yellow, prone to diseases.

Too much potash fertilizer, easy to affect the absorption of trace elements, affect the development, new leaves withered and yellow.

Many flower friends report that retting to make flower fertilizer has too much flavor.

Retting flower fertilizer is a process of fermentation, the taste can not be completely removed, you can find ways to mature as far as possible, reduce volatilization:

1. Increase the retting time. If it is ripe enough, the flower fertilizer will not be very smelly.

2. Use a plastic pot with a big belly and a small mouth, which gives off less flavor.

3. Add mashed dried orange peel (less effective) or 5% ferrous sulfate.

Finally, the principles of practical and necessary fertilizer application are presented.

Timely and moderate amount is the key to fertilization, which is summed up very well:

Apply more in yellow and thin, before bud, in bud and after anthesis.

Apply less when you thrive, sprout less, blossom less, and apply less in the rainy season.

No growth, no new planting, no summer heat, no dormancy.

The most important point is that it is a clich é that thin fertilizer should be applied more.
