7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.21 – HOW TO MAKE ORGANIC FERTILIZER

– All Natural

Making your own natural organic homemade fertilizer is both easy & cheap. It often uses components you already have around the farm. Organic material from leftover food and grass clippings to organic DIY fertilizers made from plant or animal remains.

Plant-based fertilizers include:

Compost, Cottonseed meal, Soybean, Kelp, Seaweed

Wood ash uses like these, Alfalfa meal fertilizer

Several organic materials serve as excellent sources of nitrogen for use as soil supplement and fertilizer, such as poultry, horses and especially cattle manure. However, atmospheric nitrogen is the largest source of soil nitrogen content and is introduced into the soil by precipitation, commercial fertilizers and decomposed cover crops. Legumes are excellent sources of nitrogen; First, they are the only plants capable of taking nitrogen from the air and releasing their nitrogen content to the soil as they decompose. Soil composition varies so always take a soil sample to determine the best method when making your own nitrogen fertilizer.

Kutengeneza mbolea ya asili ya kikaboni iliyotengenezwa nyumbani ni rahisi na kwa bei nafuu. Mara nyingi hutumia vifaa ambavyo tayari unavyo karibu na shamba. Nyenzo-hai kutoka kwa mabaki ya vyakula na vipande vya nyasi hadi mbolea ya kikaboni ya DIY iliyotengenezwa kwa mabaki ya mimea au wanyama.

Mbolea za mimea ni pamoja na:

Mboji, Unga wa Pamba, Soya, Kelp, Mwani

Majivu ya kuni hutumia kama hizi, mbolea ya unga wa Alfalfa

Nyenzo nyingi za kikaboni hutumika kama vyanzo bora vya nitrojeni kwa matumizi kama nyongeza ya udongo na mbolea, kama vile kuku, farasi na hasa samadi ya ng'ombe. Hata hivyo, nitrojeni ya anga ni chanzo kikubwa zaidi cha maudhui ya nitrojeni ya udongo na huingizwa kwenye udongo na mvua, mbolea za biashara na mazao ya kifuniko yaliyoharibika. Kunde ni vyanzo bora vya nitrojeni; Kwanza, ni mimea pekee yenye uwezo wa kuchukua nitrojeni kutoka hewani na kutoa maudhui yake ya nitrojeni kwenye udongo inapooza. Muundo wa udongo hutofautiana kwa hivyo chukua sampuli ya udongo kila wakati ili kubaini njia bora zaidi unapotengeneza mbolea yako ya nitrojeni.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.3.1 – FROM FISHPOND for AQUAPONIC

How IBC tanks make aquarium tomatoes possible »

Tomatoes or other vegetables from the aquarium - this topic should raise questioning looks in many people. The thought isn't even that far-fetched. The aquaponic process developed in the United States in 1985 makes it possible and combines tomato and fish farming. Within a circulatory system, fish ensure that the plants have an optimal nutrient content and, conversely, are supplied with good water quality. The technology behind it is simple and with the help of an IBC tank (intermediate bulk container) you can build your own aquaponic system.

The basic principle of an aquaponic system

Tomatoes and fish don't just go well together on the menu. A symbiosis can already be created during rearing. The composition aquaponics is derived from the terms aquaculture and hydroponics. While the latter refers to the cultivation of plants in inorganic substrates, aquaculture is the cultivation of fish in open tanks. Thanks to their design and large capacity, IBCs are suitable for providing fish with sufficient habitat. The movement of water, which supplies oxygen and removes excretions, is particularly important for living beings

The basic principle of the system is that algae and fish deposits are fed to plants that clean the returning water with bacterial cultures. The fish farm gets faecal-free water.

Do-it-yourself offers these advantages

• productive fish and plant breeding in a circulatory system

• low-cost building with IBCs

• low water requirement

• no additional fertilizer

• System is always expandable

7 1 MBOLEA – 7.3.1 – KUTOKA SAMAKI kwa AQUAPONIC

Jinsi mizinga ya IBC inavyofanya nyanya za aquarium iwezekanavyo »

Nyanya au mboga nyingine kutoka kwa aquarium - mada hii inapaswa kuinua kuonekana kwa maswali kwa watu wengi. Wazo hata sio mbali sana. Mchakato wa aquaponic uliotengenezwa nchini Marekani mwaka wa 1985 hufanya iwezekanavyo na unachanganya kilimo cha nyanya na samaki. Ndani ya mfumo wa mzunguko wa damu, samaki huhakikisha kwamba mimea ina maudhui bora ya virutubisho na, kinyume chake, hutolewa kwa ubora mzuri wa maji. Teknolojia nyuma yake ni rahisi na kwa msaada wa tank ya IBC (chombo cha kati cha wingi) unaweza kujenga mfumo wako wa aquaponic.

Kanuni ya msingi ya mfumo wa aquaponic

Nyanya na samaki haziendani vizuri tu kwenye menyu. Symbiosis inaweza tayari kuundwa wakati wa ufugaji. Utungaji wa aquaponics unatokana na maneno ya ufugaji wa samaki na hydroponics. Ingawa mwisho unahusu kilimo cha mimea katika substrates isokaboni, ufugaji wa samaki ni kilimo cha samaki katika mizinga wazi. Shukrani kwa muundo wao na uwezo mkubwa, IBC zinafaa kwa kutoa samaki wenye makazi ya kutosha. Harakati ya maji, ambayo hutoa oksijeni na kuondosha excretions, ni muhimu hasa kwa viumbe hai

Kanuni ya msingi ya mfumo ni kwamba mwani na amana za samaki hulishwa kwa mimea ambayo husafisha maji yanayorudi na tamaduni za bakteria. Shamba la samaki hupata maji yasiyo na kinyesi.

Fanya mwenyewe hutoa faida hizi

• samaki wenye tija na ufugaji wa mimea katika mfumo wa mzunguko wa damu

• jengo la gharama ya chini na IBCs

• mahitaji ya chini ya maji

• hakuna mbolea ya ziada

• Mfumo unaweza kupanuka kila wakati

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.3.2 – FISH PROMOTE PLANT GROWTH

Natural cycle promotes plant growth

If you are toying with the idea of building an aquaponic system yourself, you are choosing an ecologically valuable route. Tomatoes, cucumbers, salads and fish are available in almost every supermarket. However, if you question the path from rearing to the end product on the shelf, one thing quickly becomes clear: production and transport require a high level of logistical effort, which has a heavy impact on the environment. This business is only profitable if as many products as possible reach the consumer.

While seas and lakes around the world are being fished dry, successful vegetable farming requires a few tools. This includes an enormous water consumption. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides will also increase yields.

Owners of one or more IBC tanks can counteract these developments and create a natural cycle. This not only conserves resources, but also promotes the quality of the products. How such a system can be built with simple means is explained below.

For beginners: build your own aquaponic system

Since IBC containers have been used in the industrial sector for many years, there is a high stock. Used IBC tanks are already available at a low entry-level price and can be functionally expanded with the appropriate IBC container accessories. Anyone who buys used should ensure the suitability of the tank.

7 1 MBOLEA – 7.3.2 – SAMAKI HUKUZA UKUAJI WA MIMEA

Mzunguko wa asili unakuza ukuaji wa mimea

Ikiwa unacheza na wazo la kujenga mfumo wa aquaponic mwenyewe, unachagua njia ya thamani ya kiikolojia. Nyanya, matango, saladi na samaki zinapatikana karibu kila maduka makubwa. Hata hivyo, ikiwa unauliza njia kutoka kwa ufugaji hadi bidhaa ya mwisho kwenye rafu, jambo moja huwa wazi haraka: uzalishaji na usafiri unahitaji kiwango cha juu cha jitihada za vifaa, ambazo zina athari kubwa kwa mazingira. Biashara hii ina faida tu ikiwa bidhaa nyingi iwezekanavyo zitamfikia mlaji.

Wakati bahari na maziwa kote ulimwenguni yanavuliwa kavu, kilimo cha mboga kwa mafanikio kinahitaji zana chache. Hii ni pamoja na matumizi makubwa ya maji. Matumizi ya mbolea za kemikali na viuatilifu pia yataongeza mavuno.

Wamiliki wa tanki moja au zaidi za IBC wanaweza kukabiliana na maendeleo haya na kuunda mzunguko wa asili. Hii sio tu kuhifadhi rasilimali, lakini pia inakuza ubora wa bidhaa. Jinsi mfumo huo unaweza kujengwa kwa njia rahisi ni ilivyoelezwa hapa chini.

Kwa Kompyuta: jenga mfumo wako wa aquaponic

Kwa kuwa vyombo vya IBC vimetumika katika sekta ya viwanda kwa miaka mingi, kuna hisa kubwa. Mizinga ya IBC iliyotumika tayari inapatikana kwa bei ya chini na inaweza kupanuliwa kiutendaji kwa vifaa vinavyofaa vya kontena za IBC. Mtu yeyote anayenunua kutumika anapaswa kuhakikisha kufaa kwa tank.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.3.3 – FISH IN A CONTAINER – AQUAPONIC

Lid as a plant bed

To obtain the two required parts, the upper part of the water tank must be cut off with a jigsaw or similar. A height of about 25 centimetres is sufficient for hydroponics (e.g. expanded clay). Ideally, the downward-facing filling opening should be provided with a cover filter so that the substrate is not washed out. After completion, a suitable pipe runs from there back to the lower tank or into other beds or containers, where the circulation pump is located.

A stand that is used separately offers the plant bed an elevated position with the comfort of a raised bed, which also promotes water drainage. Another alternative is to install a suction fitting for an external pump.

Raise fish in the container

The heart of the DIY aquaponics is the IBC container, which as a standard version still holds a good 1000 litres for the irrigation technology including fish farming. The stopcock can be replaced with a hose adapter that ensures water return.

Threaded and clamp fittings round off the portfolio, which makes it possible to install additional inlets and outlets. Here, too, the installation of filters ensures the necessary water quality and retains coarser particles.

The right fish

The type of fish has a significant influence on the later yield. Tilapia, which belong to the cichlid family, are suitable for rearing. The colloquial name "tomato fish" emerged from research, as it has ideal prerequisites for unproblematic breeding in an aquaponic system. Tilapia are robust and fully grown after a short time. They spawn comparatively often and thus secure their own stock. In addition, they do not need any separately fed feed, because vegetable residues are sufficient for their food intake.

Alternatively, African predatory catfish are also suitable for breeding in IBC containers. Due to their high content of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, they are suitable for use as food fish, just like tomato fish. The biggest challenge in fish farming is the water temperature, as both species are warm-water fish.

Kifuniko kama kitanda cha mmea

Ili kupata sehemu mbili zinazohitajika, sehemu ya juu ya tank ya maji lazima ikatwe na jigsaw au sawa. Urefu wa takriban sentimita 25 unatosha kwa hidroponics (k.m. udongo uliopanuliwa). Kwa hakika, ufunguzi wa kujaza unaoelekea chini unapaswa kutolewa na chujio cha kifuniko ili substrate isioshwe. Baada ya kukamilika, bomba linalofaa linatoka huko nyuma kwenye tank ya chini au kwenye vitanda vingine au vyombo, ambapo pampu ya mzunguko iko.

Msimamo ambao hutumiwa tofauti hutoa kitanda cha mmea nafasi ya juu na faraja ya kitanda kilichoinuliwa; ambayo pia inakuza mifereji ya maji. Mbadala mwingine ni kufunga kifaa cha kufyonza kwa pampu ya nje.

Panda samaki kwenye chombo

Moyo wa aquaponics ya DIY ni chombo cha IBC, ambacho kama toleo la kawaida bado kinashikilia lita 1000 nzuri kwa teknolojia ya umwagiliaji ikiwa ni pamoja na ufugaji wa samaki. Stopcock inaweza kubadilishwa na adapta ya hose ambayo inahakikisha kurudi kwa maji.

Vipimo vilivyo na nyuzi na clamp huzunguka kwingineko, ambayo inafanya uwezekano wa kusakinisha viingilio na maduka ya ziada. Hapa, pia, ufungaji wa filters huhakikisha ubora wa maji muhimu na huhifadhi chembe za coarser.

Samaki wa kulia

Aina ya samaki ina ushawishi mkubwa juu ya mavuno ya baadaye. Tilapia, ambayo ni ya familia ya cichlid, inafaa kwa ufugaji. Jina la kawaida "samaki wa nyanya" liliibuka kutokana na utafiti, kwa kuwa lina sharti bora la kuzaliana bila shida katika mfumo wa aquaponic. Tilapia ni imara na hukua kikamilifu baada ya muda mfupi. Wao huzaa mara nyingi kwa kulinganisha na hivyo huhifadhi hifadhi yao wenyewe. Kwa kuongeza, hawana haja ya kulisha tofauti tofauti, kwa sababu mabaki ya mboga yanatosha kwa ulaji wao wa chakula.

Vinginevyo, kambare wa Kiafrika wawindaji pia wanafaa kwa kuzaliana katika vyombo vya IBC. Kwa sababu ya kiwango cha juu cha protini na asidi ya mafuta ya omega-3, zinafaa kutumika kama samaki wa chakula, kama samaki wa nyanya. Changamoto kubwa katika ufugaji wa samaki ni joto la maji, kwani aina zote mbili ni samaki wa maji ya joto.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.3.4 – THE RIGHT TEPARATURE – AQUAPONIC

 

ORGANIC FARMING COURSE AGRO-ECONOMY

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.3.4 – THE RIGHT TEPARATURE – AQUAPONIC

The water at the right temperature

The temperatures in the tank should always be adjusted to the habits of the fish. For rearing warm-water fish, these are between 25° and 34° Celsius. In the summer months, if you choose the right location in the greenhouse, a water tank heats up quickly and reaches ideal temperatures. However, these should be guaranteed all year round so that fish farming can be successful in the long term. In addition, fish and plants benefit from constant water temperatures. In view of the filling volume, conventional aquarium heaters are usually not sufficient for this.

 A container heater specially developed for IBC tanks can help to solve the problem. It ensures tropical water temperatures even on cold winter days, so that the operation of the system is not seasonally limited. Another option would be to cultivate the fish indoors between October and April. However, care should be taken to lower the water level in the aquaponic system to such an extent that frost cannot cause any damage. Although IBC tanks are relatively resistant to weather influences, this does not necessarily apply to all components of the irrigation system.

Conclusion: do-it-yourself aquaponics

It is always worth trying to combine aquaculture and hydroculture. Professionally, such systems have been running successfully in many countries for years. However, Germany is still in the infancy of aquaponics.

For those who like to grow tomatoes, chillies, salads or peppers and also appreciate the healthy nutrition of edible fish, the aquaponic method offers an extremely efficient alternative to conventional cultivation.

Cultivation, care and above all the control of the system are part of the daily routine and should of course give pleasure to the hobby aquaponist. Anyone who builds with fun, continues their education and has a little feeling for vegetables and fish can look forward to a high yield density in the long term and saves costs and travel.

maji kwa joto sahihi

Joto katika tangi linapaswa kubadilishwa kila wakati kulingana na tabia ya samaki. Kwa ufugaji wa samaki wa maji ya joto, hawa ni kati ya 25° na 34° Selsiasi. Katika miezi ya majira ya joto, ukichagua eneo sahihi katika chafu, tank ya maji huwaka haraka na kufikia joto bora. Hata hivyo, haya yanapaswa kuhakikishiwa mwaka mzima ili ufugaji wa samaki uweze kufanikiwa kwa muda mrefu. Aidha, samaki na mimea hufaidika na joto la maji mara kwa mara. Kwa kuzingatia kiasi cha kujaza, hita za kawaida za aquarium kawaida hazitoshi kwa hili.

  Hita ya chombo maalum iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya mizinga ya IBC inaweza kusaidia kutatua tatizo. Inahakikisha joto la maji ya kitropiki hata siku za baridi za baridi, ili uendeshaji wa mfumo sio mdogo wa msimu. Chaguo jingine litakuwa kufuga samaki ndani ya nyumba kati ya Oktoba na Aprili. Hata hivyo, utunzaji unapaswa kuchukuliwa ili kupunguza kiwango cha maji katika mfumo wa aquaponic kwa kiasi kwamba baridi haiwezi kusababisha uharibifu wowote. Ingawa matangi ya IBC ni sugu kwa athari za hali ya hewa, hii haitumiki kwa vipengele vyote vya mfumo wa umwagiliaji.

Hitimisho: fanya-wewe-mwenyewe aquaponics

Daima inafaa kujaribu kuchanganya kilimo cha majini na kilimo cha maji. Kitaalamu, mifumo kama hiyo imekuwa ikifanya kazi kwa mafanikio katika nchi nyingi kwa miaka. Walakini, Ujerumani bado iko katika uchanga wa aquaponics.

Kwa wale wanaopenda kulima nyanya, pilipili, saladi au pilipili na pia kuthamini lishe yenye afya ya samaki wanaoliwa, njia ya aquaponic inatoa njia mbadala ya ufanisi zaidi kwa kilimo cha kawaida.

Kulima, utunzaji na juu ya udhibiti wote wa mfumo ni sehemu ya utaratibu wa kila siku na lazima bila shaka kutoa radhi kwa hobby aquaponist. Mtu yeyote anayejenga kwa furaha, anaendelea elimu yake na ana hisia kidogo kwa mboga na samaki anaweza kutarajia wiani mkubwa wa mavuno kwa muda mrefu na kuokoa gharama na usafiri.

7 1 FERTILIZER – 7.4 - DIY Tomato Fertilizer

 

Tomatoes are heavy feeders requiring lots of nutrients. 

Learn more about Natural Homemade Organic Tomato Fertilizer

As a home gardener, you always intend to apply organic fertilizer to your tomato plants.

There are so many different ways for you to choose the right one for your tomato garden. Here I am going to discuss some of the easiest and the best organic tomato fertilizer ideas to help you choose the right one.

1: Homemade organic compost fertilizer for tomatoes

Homemade compost is the best, easiest, and free source of nutrients for your tomato plants.

Making your compost from kitchen scraps and other household organic matter is a great source of nutrients for tomatoes. A good quality compost fertilizer can fulfill all the nutrients your plants need. This also develops the soil structure.

Best ingredients to make your homemade compost fertilizer

You need to add three different types of ingredients to your compost bin to make good quality homemade compost fertilizer.

– All kinds of leftover food and other organic remains

You can add all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and other leftover food to your compost pile to make compost. But adding the following ingredients will make your compost very nutritious, especially for tomatoes.

 

•  Banana peel (contains potassium and magnesium)

•  Orange peel (contains nitrogen, potassium, calcium, sulphur and phosphorus)

•  Potato peel (contains potassium)

•  Various fruit and vegetable leftovers (contain essential nutrients)

•  Garlic and onion peels (contains essential nutrients)

•  Crushed eggshells (contains calcium and potassium)

•  Wood ash or other organic ash (contains phosphorus)

•  Alfalfa flour (contains nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur and other essential minerals)

•  Grass clippings, weeds (contains nitrogen)

•

– Carbon-rich materials

This includes dry leaves, straw, hay, cardboard, wood chips, sawdust, or shredded newspaper.

- Soil

The soil gets enough bacteria. So put a thin layer of soil about 5 cm on top of the compost to decompose the ingredients faster. - Water

Water is not essential to making compost. But if the weather is hot and dry then add some water to the compost heap.

Ingredients to avoid adding to your compost pile

Some household ingredients slowly decompose, releasing bad odour and attracting natural creatures and pests. Therefore, you should avoid these following ingredients when making your homemade compost.

•  All types of animal products such as meat, bones, fat, skin or others.

•  Leftover fish

•  All types of dairy products

•  Animal waste

•  Petroleum products

 

How to do

Whatever you put on the compost bin, first cut it into small pieces (less than an inch).

These speeds up the decomposition process. How long does it take?

Normally you should wait about 3-6 months to make good quality compost. It mostly depends on the ingredients you add to your compost bin.

When to put compost in the soil

Compost fertilizer is slowly released. Therefore, you should apply compost fertilizer at the beginning of the tomato planting hole. Add 30% compost to the total soil mix of a planting hole for a good harvest.

Caution

Never use easily decomposing fertilizer as it can kill your plants. When you apply this semi-decomposing fertilizer to your tomatoes, it will first take time to fully decompose and then feed your plants.

During the decomposition process, the compost needs more oxygen from the soil. So your plant roots cannot get enough oxygen from the soil. As a result, your plants may die in some cases.

2.  Organic fertilizer with animal manure 5 cm above the garden waste

Animal manure is a good soil amendment and a great source of nitrogen and other essential nutrients. You can find different types of animal dung around you to turn them into good quality composted manure.

•  Chicken manure fertilizer (NPK ratio: 1.1-0.8-0.5)

•  Cow dung fertilizer (NPK ratio: 0.6-0.4-0.5)

•  Horse manure (NPK ratio: 0.7-0.3-0.6)

•  Rabbit dung fertilizer (NPK ratio: 2.4-1.4-0.6)

•  Goat or sheep manure (NPK ratio: 0.7-0.3-0.9)

•  Pig manure (NPK ratio: 0.8-0.7-0.5)

•

A nicely composted aged manure (about 6 to 9 months) is very nitrogen rich. Plus, it also contains some Phosphors and Potassium.

If you use too much of this composted manure in your tomato plants, they will produce more leaves than fruit.

7 1 MBOLEA – 7.4 - Mbolea ya nyanya ya DIY

Nyanya ni vyakula vizito vinavyohitaji virutubisho vingi.

Pata maelezo zaidi kuhusu Mbolea ya Nyanya Asilia Iliyotengenezwa Nyumbani

Kama mtunza bustani ya nyumbani, daima unakusudia kutumia mbolea ya kikaboni kwenye mimea yako ya nyanya. Kuna njia nyingi tofauti za kuchagua moja inayofaa kwa bustani yako ya nyanya. Hapa nitajadili baadhi ya mawazo rahisi na bora ya mbolea ya nyanya ya kikaboni ili kukusaidia kuchagua inayofaa.

 

1: Mbolea ya kikaboni iliyotengenezwa nyumbani kwa nyanya

Mbolea ya kujitengenezea nyumbani ndiyo bora zaidi, rahisi, na chanzo cha bure cha virutubisho kwa mimea yako ya nyanya.

Kutengeneza mboji yako kutokana na mabaki ya jikoni na vitu vingine vya kikaboni vya nyumbani ni chanzo kikubwa cha virutubisho kwa nyanya. Mbolea bora ya mboji inaweza kutimiza virutubisho vyote vinavyohitaji mimea yako. Hii pia huendeleza muundo wa udongo.

Viungo bora vya kutengeneza mbolea ya mboji ya nyumbani

Unahitaji kuongeza aina tatu tofauti za viambato kwenye pipa lako la mboji ili kutengeneza mbolea ya mboji yenye ubora wa juu.

 

- Aina zote za chakula kilichobaki na mabaki mengine ya kikaboni

Unaweza kuongeza aina zote za matunda, mboga mboga, na vyakula vingine vilivyobaki kwenye rundo lako la mboji kutengeneza mboji. Lakini kuongeza viungo vifuatavyo kutafanya mbolea yako kuwa na lishe sana, hasa kwa nyanya.

 

•  Ganda la ndizi (lina potasiamu na magnesiamu)

•  Maganda ya chungwa (yana naitrojeni, potasiamu, kalsiamu, salfa na fosforasi) • Maganda ya viazi (yana potasiamu)

•  Mabaki mbalimbali ya matunda na mboga (yana virutubisho muhimu)

•  Maganda ya vitunguu na vitunguu (yana virutubisho muhimu)

•  Maganda ya mayai yaliyosagwa (yana kalsiamu na potasiamu)

•  Majivu ya kuni au majivu mengine ya kikaboni (yana fosforasi)

•  Unga wa alfalfa (una nitrojeni, potasiamu, fosforasi, magnesiamu, salfa na madini mengine muhimu)

•  Vipande vya nyasi, magugu (yana nitrojeni)

•

-  Nyenzo zenye kaboni

Hii ni pamoja na majani makavu, majani, nyasi, kadibodi, vipande vya mbao, vumbi la mbao, au gazeti lililosagwa.

-  Udongo

Udongo hupata bakteria ya kutosha. Kwa hiyo weka safu nyembamba ya udongo kuhusu 5 cm juu ya mboji ili kuoza viungo haraka.

-  Maji

Maji sio muhimu kutengeneza mboji. Lakini ikiwa hali ya hewa ni ya joto na kavu basi ongeza maji kwenye lundo la mboji.

Viungo ili kuepuka kuongeza kwenye rundo lako la mbolea

Viungo vingine vya nyumbani hupunguza polepole, ikitoa harufu mbaya na kuvutia viumbe vya asili na wadudu. Kwa hiyo, unapaswa kuepuka viungo hivi vifuatavyo wakati wa kufanya mbolea yako ya nyumbani.

•  Aina zote za bidhaa za wanyama kama vile nyama, mifupa, mafuta, ngozi au nyinginezo.

•  Samaki iliyobaki

•  Aina zote za bidhaa za maziwa

•  Taka za wanyama

•  Bidhaa za mafuta

 

Jinsi ya kufanya

Chochote unachoweka kwenye pipa la mbolea, kwanza uikate vipande vidogo (chini ya inchi). Hizi huharakisha mchakato wa mtengano.

Inachukua muda gani?

Kwa kawaida unapaswa kusubiri kwa muda wa miezi 3-6 ili kutengeneza mboji bora.

Inategemea zaidi viungo unavyoongeza kwenye pipa lako la mbolea.

Wakati wa kuweka mbolea kwenye udongo

Mbolea ya mbolea hutolewa polepole. Kwa hiyo, unapaswa kutumia mbolea ya mbolea mwanzoni mwa shimo la kupanda nyanya. Ongeza mboji 30% kwa mchanganyiko wa udongo wa shimo la kupanda kwa mavuno mazuri.

Tahadhari

Kamwe usitumie mbolea inayooza kwa urahisi kwani inaweza kuua mimea yako. Unapoweka mbolea hii ya kuoza nusu kwenye nyanya zako, itachukua muda kwanza kuoza kikamilifu na kisha kulisha mimea yako.

Wakati wa mchakato wa kuoza, mboji inahitaji oksijeni zaidi kutoka kwenye udongo. Kwa hivyo mizizi ya mmea wako haiwezi kupata oksijeni ya kutosha kutoka kwa udongo. Matokeo yake, mimea yako inaweza kufa katika baadhi ya matukio.

2. Mbolea ya asili na samadi ya wanyama 5 cm juu ya taka ya bustani

Mbolea ya wanyama ni marekebisho mazuri ya udongo na chanzo kikubwa cha nitrojeni na virutubisho vingine muhimu. Unaweza kupata aina mbalimbali za kinyesi cha wanyama karibu nawe ili kuzigeuza kuwa samadi yenye mboji bora.

•  Mbolea ya kuku (uwiano wa NPK: 1.1-0.8-0.5)

•  Mbolea ya samadi ya ng’ombe (uwiano wa NPK: 0.6-0.4-0.5)

•  Samadi ya farasi (uwiano wa NPK: 0.7-0.3-0.6)

•  Mbolea ya samadi ya sungura (uwiano wa NPK: 2.4-1.4-0.6)

•  Samadi ya mbuzi au kondoo (uwiano wa NPK: 0.7-0.3-0.9)

•  Samadi ya nguruwe (uwiano wa NPK: 0.8-0.7-0.5)

•

Mbolea iliyozeeka yenye mboji nzuri (kama miezi 6 hadi 9) ina nitrojeni nyingi sana. Kwa kuongezea, ina fosforasi na potasiamu.

Ikiwa unatumia sana mbolea hii ya mboji kwenye mimea yako ya nyanya, itatoa majani mengi kuliko matunda.
