Household garbage compost
It is a compost resulting from the compost of organic waste resulting from sorting urban waste, and its content of organic matter is high. It also contains the major and minor elements that the plant needs during its growth period. It is also free of objections that reduce the efficiency of fertilizer and its price is suitable for most farmers.
Some natural characteristics of household garbage compost
1) Produced from the air composting of the organic matter of household garbage for a period of 2-3 months.
2) It leads to an increase in the ability of the sandy land to retain water and the disintegration of the texture of the heavy clay earth.
3) It contains nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium elements, in addition to a group of micro-fertilizer elements.
4) Its use leads to a reduction in the amount of adding chemical fertilizers.
5) Necessary for the production of safe and healthy food suitable for local consumption.
6) Free from weed seeds, fungal pathogens and bacteria, especially nematodes.
7) Contains growth regulators, natural hormones, and antioxidants.
8) It is manufactured using the latest equipment and expertise.
Addition rates to household garbage compost
1- Fruit crops, trees and ornamental plants
In the case of establishing fruit farms for the first time, Kattameya fertilizer is added at a rate of 25-40 kg per hole with dimensions of 75 x 75 x 75 cm. These quantities are mixed four times their volume with surface soil, the result of digging the hole with the addition of about ½ kg of superphosphate, ¼ kg of ammonia sulfate, ¼ kg of potassium sulfate, ¼ kg of agricultural sulfur. These quantities are mixed well with fertilizer and soil.
In the case of annual fertilization for fruit trees, fertilizers can be added in several ways, including:
– Adding in circles around the trees and backfilling them at an appropriate distance.
– Adding on both sides of the trees in crescent-shaped pits and backfilling them.
2- Vegetable and field crops
Crops that are grown in scattered plots We recommend that the lands be plowed first, then the organic fertilizer is added scattered over the surface of the ground and the land is settled and then plowed and the crops are planted according to the method of cultivation of each crop.
Crops that are grown on lines or terraces. It is preferable to put organic fertilizer in the belly of the line, fill it, irrigate it, and then plant over the places where the fertilizer is (aeration and cultivation).
