Do This To Improve Soil Fertility Naturally
A fast start, turning soil and organic material into biologically active potting soil.
- Use organic fines, such as lightly composted grass, wood chips, and plant materials.
- Vermiculite or perlite to help with soil drainage. Prevent plants from becoming waterlogged.
- Organic sugars like molasses or high sugar plants. Feed the soil microbes that feed your plants.
- Use composted manure to feed the soil. Something that has undergone a few heat cycles will be free of weed seeds.
- Putting everything in a barrel helps heat materials, makes scooping easy, and the lid moderates moisture.
This approach transforms weeds and all into healthy potting soil to help plants thrive. Bulk material that feeds your plant starts.
You don't need expensive soil amendments or potions. Start with what you have. There is no need to buy chemical fertilizers.
An Organic Gardening Soil Preparation for Potting Up Plants
We are making compost in the barrel. Quick for potting up plants for my backyard nursery.
Perfect for potting up banana, willows, fig cuttings, and more.
This biologically active organic gardening soil is not suitable for a commercial nursery.
Think of this as a huge bokashi, or quick compost. With the lid on, it will warm up enough to kill seeds.
After you've made this mixture, you can refresh the organic gardening soil before use. Be sure to maintain moisture levels and cover these materials when not in use.
You're in the right place for scaling up your small farm or homestead. Start a backyard nursery and feel your sense of accomplishment growing from all the healthy plants.
You'll save money while increasing food security. Imagine an unlimited supply of fresh organic vegetables!
