In the fall, the dacha remains a lot of material, which would seem anywhere else useful. But this is far from that. Cropped branches, topped leaves - all this can be used in the vegetable garden. Today I will tell you how I use the foliage in the country.
1. Zola.
If the tree has been sick during the season, or on the leaves you will find traces of fungi and diseases, the foliage is better to burn so that it does not harm other landings. Of course, the ash will turn out quite a bit, but it is not important here, and so that infections do not apply.
2. Mulch
This is one of the most common methods. Just follow the foliage to be healthy. Many even just do not remove her after the leaf fall. Let his own foliage shelters the trees, protects their root system from frosts, and the soil from drying out. After all, nature has conceived.
3. Sheet compost
I wrote in detail about this application in the article who did not read - I recommend to do this. If briefly: leaf humus is very favorably affected by the soil structure. We take big tight bags, the holes in them. I fall asleep foliage, watering it with water and tie a bag. So we leave until spring, at the beginning of the next summer season there will be excellent useful material that can be used under the people.
4. Compost
If there are no such bags such, the foliage can just be thrown into the compost pit. So that it overloaded faster, it can be finely chopped. But again, the material should be healthy.
5. Soil for indoor flowers and seedlings
Of the fallen foliage, you can make a good fertile soil. We take the package and fold into it foliage, add green weeds (without seeds and roots). The package regularly shake, and mix the contents. The foliage will overload and will be ready remarkable fertile soil. Sheet Earth is loose, light and nutritious ground. It will actually come true for all indoor plants, and in the future - and for seedlings.
And in the dry foliage love to winter the hedgehogs. In the summer at night, the hedgehogs often come to us, so I leave part of the foliage in the corners of the site, along the fence. So that prickly guests can overweight there.
RESULTS
