Tips for
preparing the soil in order to raise organic food…the first step is the
motivation
1. The first
step to have a "healthy" soil. In order to do that, we have to know
that we you should not apply to it any pesticides and also let it rest for a
while before start planting.
2. You do
not need a big space. You just need to find an appropriate place ideally it
should has sun most of the months of the year. Remember avoiding to use places
near to any possible contamination.
3. As I
mentioned before, we should clean the area of land that we will use. If the
plants cannot grow is because the soil was not prepare enough.
4. In order
to have a healthy and fructiferous soil what we can do is to cover the area
with organic material such as leaves, dried grass and other kind of organic
plants. Also, we have to spread small kinds of organisms, little bugs, worms
and other beneficial life forms that are going to do most of the work for us in
improving the soil.
5. For the
next time, keep the surface wet. It will accelerate the process for a rich soil.
6. Finally
make your own compost with the different rest of organic plant and keeping it
wet too.
This video is about a wonderful alternative if someone has the motivation to do it. Also if you do not have much space, this mini greenhouse is an excellent and beautiful idea. Enjoy! :)
What specific kind of bugs should we “hire”? (I rather say that than just “spread” them, haha) I know you said beneficial ones, but maybe an image or an explanation can clarify which insects should I pick. I would like to build my own Mini Greenhouse with my future son or daughter, it seems like a funny experience! Nice entry as always Vicky!
ResponderEliminarPeople who live near the sea usually use algae such as "Luga", "Zargazo" or "Lamilla" to fertilize the soil. Many farmers say that algae are one of the best natural fertilizer!
