Retting is actually anaerobic fermentation, which ferments the nutrients in the fertilizer to form the fertilizer liquid that plants can absorb. When retting, sprinkle a little brown sugar in it to improve retting speed, and it doesn't stink.
Brown sugar is a kind of finished sugar with honey made from sugarcane, which contains 95% sucrose, some minerals and microelements. Adding brown sugar into the retting barrel is very easy for sucrose to react, which is equivalent to improving the fermentation speed, making the fertilizer retting well soon, so that there will be no smell.
1. Prepare a little brown sugar. The specific amount depends on the amount of fertilizer. For example, a spoon of brown sugar is used for a plastic fertilizer. Put it in the pot, add some water, boil for 2 or 3 minutes with low heat.
2. Put the compost to be retreaded into the container in advance, then pour in the cool brown sugar, mix evenly, and seal for fermentation. Added brown sugar, can make the fertilizer ferment faster, and it will not stink when it is used
If you can't buy EM bacteria, there is also a good thing for retting and deodorizing. Huahua guarantees that there is this thing in every house, that is orange peel. When retting, add some orange peel, not only does it not stink, but also has a light fragrance ~
Orange peel is rich in vitamin C and essential oils, which is why orange peel smells of fragrance. When you add some orange peel when you are compost, the essential oil will be released. It will make the fertilizer not only stink, but also a faint fruit aroma.
1. Collect the leftover orange peel, tear the orange peel into small pieces by hand, or cut the orange peel into thin wires with a knife, so as to increase the contact area with the fertilizer solution, which is more effective than throwing a large piece of orange peel directly in.
2. Dispose the fertilizer in advance, put it into a plastic bottle, put the cut orange peel before adding water, and then seal it. After fermentation, the fertilizer will have a light aroma.
Put a little lees when retting. There is no stink in the fertilizer. When using it, you can smell a smell of wine. Isn't it magical and convenient?
Distiller's grains are the leftover residue after brewing wine, which contains a lot of crude protein and amino acids, and is rich in yeast, which is a natural flower fertilizer starter. When retting, add a little lees, and the flower manure will retting soon, not only does it not stink, but also has a light smell of wine.
1. Put the things to be retreaded into the container, put some lees before adding water, and the specific amount depends on the amount of fertilizer. Then add water and stir evenly, seal and ferment.
2. After adding distiller's grains, the fermentation time can be shortened. The fertilizer that used to take two months can be retreaded in one month. Moreover, the distiller's grains are rich in nutrition and will bloom even more when used for flowers.
The kitchen waste at home is usually used for composting, and the flowers grow up and bloom. But retting is easy to stink because of incomplete fermentation. It doesn't matter. Adding a little EM bacteria can solve this problem
The real retting good flower fertilizer has no odor, only a light sour smell. There are many kinds of probiotics in EM bacteria, which can effectively promote the fermentation of flower manure, shorten the time of retting, and remove the peculiar smell.
1. Take the retting peanut shell as an example, clean and crush the peanut shell, boil it with water for 20 to 30 minutes, pour some EM bacteria into the peanut shell, pour 30 to 40 ml at a time, and stir evenly.
2. In addition to the peanut shell retting, some EM bacteria can be added to other retting. The probiotics can fully decompose the fertilizer and promote the fermentation of flower fertilizer, so that the retting can be completed as soon as possible and the branches and leaves used for flowers will be greener.
Many people have a worry about retting, that is, they are worried about insects. In fact, as long as you put some ash in the compost, this problem can be solved!
The ash contains some tar, nicotine and other ingredients, which can effectively kill insects, such as aphids, small black flies, tide insects, etc. when retting, add some ash, and the retting will not produce insects.
1. Usually collect the ash, put a proper amount of ash in a bowl, add water into it, mix well and put it for 1 or 2 days, then it will be completely dissolved.
2. Put the things to be retreaded in the bucket, pour the ash water into it, then add the water, stir evenly, and then seal the fermentation, so that the retreaded fertilizer will not produce insects, and the ash is a kind of potassium fertilizer, which can make the flowers bloom better.
If you have oleander at home, you don't have to worry about insects when retting. When retting, just put a little oleander leaves to make sure that there is no insect!
Oleander is a kind of plant with strong toxicity. Its branches and leaves contain cardioside and other toxic substances, which can play a role in killing insects. When retting, add some bamboo and peach leaves, and you won't have to worry about insects.
1. Cut the leaves of some oleander, pay attention to wear gloves to avoid discomfort caused by contact with skin, and mash them for standby.
2. When retting, add the things to be retreaded into the container, put in the mashed oleander leaves, then add water, stir evenly, then seal and ferment. If you use it, no insects will grow.
Oleander is not very common. Many flower friends don't have it at home. In fact, there are some things that can replace oleander leaves at home. For example, garlic can also play a role in insect repellent
Garlic contains allicin, sulfur compounds and other components, which can play a role in sterilization and disinfection. When retting, add some garlic, which can effectively avoid insects.
1. Prepare healthy and pest free garlic, peel the garlic and break it into cloves, take 2 or 3 cloves and mash them up as much as possible, and leave them for 10 minutes, so that allicin can be fully released.
2. Put the things to be retreaded in the retting barrel, pour in the mashed garlic, and then add water to mix evenly, seal and ferment, so that the retting will not produce insects.
Retting is very troublesome. In addition to garlic, cinnamon powder for cooking can also be used to get rid of insects for retting.
Cinnamon powder has a special smell. It is made of cinnamon's dry skin and branch skin. It has a good sterilization effect. When retting, add some cinnamon powder, and no insects will grow.
1. Prepare a bowl, put in some cinnamon powder, then fill it with water, use chopsticks to stir the cinnamon powder, let it fully dissolve in the water.
2. After putting the things to be retreaded into the container, pour in the cinnamon powder water, then add in the water, stir evenly, and then seal the fermentation, so that the retreaded flower fertilizer will not grow insects ~
