Effective use of a compost pit: tips to help gardeners

Many people create a compost pit on their plot, which later helps to feed the plants and saturate them with useful substances.

Not everyone knows that incorrect actions can reduce the benefits of such a hole for plants.

An expert of the MOS SMI portal, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh will tell you how to effectively use a compost pit.

Avoiding some ingredients

To prevent plants from getting sick, you should avoid adding tops with late blight to the hole.

Also, do not throw weeds, pet waste, or seeds.

Construction of the pit

To create effective compost, you need to choose the right design. It should not be in the form of an old barrel or a metal box.

The best option is wooden boxes. Thanks to them, the compost can “breathe”.

Mixing

Many people leave organic materials in boxes without considering the need to stir them. Failure to do so can slow down the decomposition process and lead to the formation of acidic areas.

Now you know how to use a compost pit correctly.
