7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.14- CAT AND DOG FOOD AS ORGANIC FERTILIZER

Organic dog food can be recycled and used as a fertilizer. It contains proteins and micronutrients to benefit the soil.

When you prepare the soil for planting, spread this composted pet food into the soil with water. The food decays naturally in a few days.

The food needs to be covered to keep all animals including your pets from eating the food before it decomposes.

For this, the soil needs to be covered with cardboard and then a wet layer of mulch. The wet layer of cardboard and mulch prevents the growth of weeds. The soil should be thoroughly watered for 3 to 4 weeks. The only care needed is to avoid pet food containing chemicals and sodium in high content (more than 3%). The chemicals and sodium are harmful for the plants.

Dog food that has expired or stale can be used to transform the barren soil. It is rich in nutrients known to promote plant growth. To multiply the effect of this dog food fertilizer, you can add clay cat litter and alfalfa pellets.

Dog Food: Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium are released into the soil when dog food breaks down. The breakdown of dog food provides the meal to soil-friendly insects and some other beneficial fungi and bacteria.

Cat Litter: Potassium-rich clay released by cat litter that is efficient for sandy soils that drain very quickly, washing away all the important nutrients. The addition improves the moisture storage capacity of the soil.

7 1 MBOLEA - 7.14- Chakula cha Paka na Mbwa Kama Chakula Kikaboni

 

Chakula cha kikaboni cha mbwa kinaweza kutumika tena na kutumika kama mbolea. Ina protini na virutubisho vidogo ili kufaidi udongo.

Unapotayarisha udongo kwa ajili ya kupanda, sambaza chakula hiki cha kipenzi kilichotundikwa kwenye udongo na maji. Chakula huharibika kwa kawaida katika siku chache.

Chakula kinahitaji kufunikwa ili kuwazuia wanyama wote ikiwa ni pamoja na wanyama wako wa kipenzi kula chakula kabla ya kuharibika.

Kwa hili, udongo unahitaji kufunikwa na kadibodi na kisha safu ya mvua ya mulch. Safu ya mvua ya kadibodi na mulch huzuia ukuaji wa magugu. Udongo unapaswa kumwagilia vizuri kwa wiki 3 hadi 4. Utunzaji pekee unaohitajika ni kuepuka chakula cha pet kilicho na kemikali na sodiamu katika maudhui ya juu (zaidi ya 3%). Kemikali na sodiamu ni hatari kwa mimea.

Chakula cha mbwa ambacho kimeisha muda wake au kimechakaa kinaweza kutumika kubadilisha udongo usio na kitu. Ni matajiri katika virutubisho vinavyojulikana kukuza ukuaji wa mimea. Ili kuzidisha athari za mbolea hii ya chakula cha mbwa, unaweza kuongeza takataka za paka za udongo na pellets za alfalfa.

Chakula cha Mbwa: Nitrojeni, fosforasi, potasiamu, na kalsiamu hutolewa kwenye udongo wakati chakula cha mbwa kinaharibika. Kuvunjika kwa chakula cha mbwa hutoa chakula kwa wadudu wanaopenda udongo na kuvu na bakteria wengine wenye manufaa.

Takataka za Paka: Udongo wenye potasiamu nyingi unaotolewa na takataka za paka ambazo ni bora kwa udongo wa kichanga ambao humwaga maji haraka sana, na huosha virutubishi vyote muhimu. Nyongeza hiyo inaboresha uwezo wa kuhifadhi unyevu wa udongo.
