Mulch use
Dry grass brings nutrients to the soil and supplies plants with nutrients. After mowing, it is recommended to leave the cut grass on the lawn, otherwise the green cover may become covered with yellowish spots.
Collect large grass, and in the future use it as mulch, only dry the hay first. Then spread in a thick layer in the beds or flower bed. Both bushes and fruit trees respond well to such a shelter.
First, a layer of mulch prevents weeds from germinating, so you will get rid of constant weeding. Secondly, it easily retains moisture in the soil. Thirdly, a dense crust from drying out does not appear on the soil surface.
If you use grass mulch in garden beds or garden strawberries, your berries and vegetables will always be clean. In addition, in the absence of touching the fruit with moist soil, you will save your crop from rotting.
Composting
Herbal compost is used as a natural organic fertilizer. It helps the soil to become more nutritious and looser. The compost introduced under the culture helps in the appearance of earthworms, which have a beneficial effect on the earth.
Mix compost with various organic residues. Use wood shavings, lime, weeds, peat, and even vegetable trimmings. You can supplement the composition with cut branches left over from pruning trees or shrubs. You can add last year's fallen leaves. To make the mixture decay faster, gardeners supplement it with manure or bird droppings. If desired, you can pour superphosphate in the amount of 150-200 g.
During the process of decay of organic fertilizers, useful nutritious compost is formed, which improves the soil. The finished composition is obtained in the form of a friable, odorless substance.
On the garden plot, you need to choose a suitable place for arranging a pit for compost, the depth of which should not be less than 50-70 cm, the width of the walls is about 1 m. Make the deepening on an elevation so that rain does not accidentally fall into it water. And also pay attention that the structure is in partial shade. This will protect the compost from excessive moisture loss.
The green lawn needs to be mowed every week. After the grass has dried, it is put into a composting device. Lay the organic matter in layers, but remember to keep the grass on top at all times to keep moisture from evaporating.
Mix the contents of the compost pit with a garden fork. This action will help to fill organic fertilizers with oxygen and accelerate the decay process. Cover the structure with plastic wrap or some other covering material. This action will help the compost to mature and use it faster.
