"On the Source of Carbon and Nitrogen in Compost"
The biochemistry of the smell must have its own origin; the source of compost is carbon and nitrogen. The carbon source is the quality base of the compost, the branches of the wood, and the paste of the soil. It is the food of microorganisms for their ability to multiply and reproduce. Common carbon sources, such as fallen leaves and residual branches, humus and fallen leaves, all contain carbon-rich substances. It is added to the compost, leavened by microorganisms, and gradually decomposed, adding nutrients to the compost and increasing its fertilizer effect.
The nitrogen source is the power of the compost, like the fuel of the car, the wind of the boat, and the metabolism of the microorganisms, making it active and efficient. Soybean meal and poultry dung, drowning of humans and animals, are all high-quality nitrogen sources. Nitrogen is put into the pile, interacting with the carbon source, and the microorganisms are nourished, and the biochemical process is accelerated, and the compost is decomposed quickly.
However, the combination of carbon and nitrogen is related to the success or failure of the compost. If carbon is high and nitrogen is low, the microbial power will be insufficient and the ripening will be slow; if there is more nitrogen and less carbon, the fertilizer efficiency will be unbalanced and the smell will be filthy and evil. Therefore, those who are good at composting must pay attention to the ratio of carbon and nitrogen, so that the two can be combined. Depending on the nature of the material, the amount of carbon and nitrogen is right, and it is clever to prepare it to obtain high-quality compost.
Or choose the fallen leaves to be co-placed with soybean meal, or combine the straw and human manure in the same pile, weigh the carbon and nitrogen, and balance the proportion, and stir In this way, the compost will decompose in an orderly manner, the fertilizer will be mellow, the field will be fertile, and the crops will be used to help the prosperity of farmers and mulberries, which is also a long-term plan for soil strength.
