How To Make Humus Rich Soil

With the carbon tax about to be implemented it occurred to me that most local Councils will be looking at ways to limit what they bring back to there waste management facilities. So as the tax increase inevetably comes here is a way to limit the waste you have removed from your property.

#1. MAKE SPACE

Find a place in your garden bed where you can throw a large amount of food scraps, feces, cardboard and other compostables.

#Alternatively# you may also use a metal garbage bin or some for of compost container if that floats your boat more.

#2. MAKE MATTER

This is probably the easiest part of this whole process.

You will want to put anything and everything into your compost pile. When you mow the lawn, but the trimmings into your pile and make sure to mix them so lots of air gets involved. Things that can go into your compost pile:

*Egg shells                   
 *Cardboard                         
 *Paper                        
 *Aged Meat

*Moldy Bread              
  *Old Potatoes                       
 *Vegetables Scraps    
 *Fruit Scraps

*Sticks/twigs                 
  *Nuts                                   
  *Sand                           
*Clay

*Tree Leaves              
   *Finely cut portions of old clothing                         
   *Paper plates

DO NOT add:

*Metals               
*Aluminum                     
 *Plastics                  
 *Anything with chemicals or pesticides on it

*Colloidal Silver            
  *Pet Manure                        
  *Branches                  
*Old Organic Juicesnt to it, don’t feed it to your plants. Other than the pet manure of course, that will break down into nutrients that are very beneficial to the plant and soil.

A Word of Caution:


 Adding your own rear end recyclings can be a risk. Huma-nure (human manure), is so far one of the most infectious and toxic sources on the plant. Mostly because of what we eat, the kind of drugs we take or the things we breath in. If you are a health nut and don’t take any medications, your huma-nure is probably great for the garden and it will save you on the water and sewer bill to do this. IF you take any pharmaceutical substances, drink to much alcohol, eat junk food/non organic food all the time or work in an environment with toxic inhalants, then DO NOT put your poo in the garden. There is no need to continue that cycle in your own body or to poison your plants with it.

#3. AS THE WORLD TURNS

As the world turns, so should your compost. My rule of thumb is that it should be turned over a few times at least once per day. This will help the composting process work faster and produce you more humus rich soil sooner. Both giving you the chance to use some in your garden nearly immediately, as well as the chance to add your fresh throw outs without causing the compost pile to spill out on the ground
.

#4. MOISTURE BALANCE

In order to get a fine humus mixture, you will want to abstain from letting the compost get either too dry or too wet. You want a healthy moisture balance in order to maintain the constant composting process. Everyday when you go to turn the compost, check to see how it feels.

You don’t actually have to touch it, though that is more direct. You can just place your hands slightly above the pile. Is it giving off heat? Does it seem cold? Does it look dry or really wet? When all else fails, dip your finger in the top of it and see how it feels. If it is very dry, you’ll want to water it down decently. If it is really wet, you’ll want to add more too it. Preferably more cardboard or other matter that is drier and takes a bit longer to break down.

#5. ADDING IT TO YOUR GARDEN

When the compost is a deep chocolate brown, clumps together well but also falls apart without a ton of force, then it is ready to place in your garden. When you mix it in, try to add some extra sand and colloidal silver to give your plant some extra boosts with the fresh humus.

Add the humus to the garden soil where you would like it and then take a trowel and turn, churn and mix it in. When you go to plant any large bushes, shrubs or small trees, you’ll want to take a bunch of the humus and layer it down before you plant your plant.

Add the humus to your soil every chance you get to turn your soil into the most organic humus rich soil around!
