1. Collecting fallen leaves: In late autumn, there will be a lot of fallen leaves piled up on the roadside and under the broad-leaved forest in winter. We can find a big plastic bag and sweep all the fallen leaves under the trees in the street and the park to go home. In this way, we can have the raw materials for piling up the rotten leaf soil.
2. Stacking and retting the fallen leaves: Stacking the swept fallen leaves in a waste barrel, and remember to compact them after filling them up. Cover the top of the fallen leaves with a layer of fine soil. Wet the fine soil and fallen leaves with water, but do not accumulate water. After that, pour out the fallen leaves every other month and turn them over.
3, add soil pile retting: The fermentation of fallen leaves pile retting is slow, you can also find a barrel with a lid, fill a layer of soil in the bottom of the barrel, lay a layer of fallen leaves, then fill a layer of soil, lay a layer of fallen leaves, until the barrel is full, ensure that the top layer is soil, pour some water to wet the soil, seal and put it in a place with high temperature.
1. Successful decomposition: The time for decomposing the rotten leaf soil is related to the season and the temperature. In summer, the rotten leaf soil can be decomposed after three months of high temperature, and in winter, the decomposed leaf soil can be decomposed after at least half a year of low temperature. It is best to judge whether it is decomposed according to the soil condition. Generally, when the leaves are almost decomposed and become black fine soil, it shows that the rotted leaf soil is decomposed.
2. Insolation and disinfection: It is better to expose the rotted leaf soil in the hot sun for three days before use, and turn it frequently during the period to eliminate the germs and insect eggs in the soil, and then mix it with other flower growing substrates for use.
