A few days ago, Huahua sent an article about retting. Many flower friends left a message below, saying that retting is very smelly. They dare not Retting on the balcony. They are afraid of being beaten by their neighbors. Hahaha ~ today Huahua sorted out some tricks for you to retting without smelling. You can quickly learn them and retting as you wish.~

Add brown sugar

1. First of all, the retting does not fully retting, so it will have flavor. The real fermented fertilizer has only a little sour taste, and will not have a bad smell. Brown sugar can accelerate fermentation and shorten the odor stage in the fermentation process.

2. The fermented fertilizer is acidic. If you can't determine the pH, you can buy a bag of pH test paper to test yourself. In the figure below, it has been completely fermented. The pH value is about 3.

Add orange peel

1. Chop orange peel, grapefruit peel and orange peel into small pieces and pour them into the compost container. This kind of retting fertilizer not only stinks very little, but also has a light fragrance.

2. At the beginning of 4 or 5 days, unscrew the cover and let out the gas once. After half a month, let it go once a week, then once a month, and then let it go. At the beginning, more gas is produced, less and less is behind

Retting for 2 months, unscrewing the lid and smelling, if there is no odor, it can be used

Add EM bacteria

1. EM bacteria are commonly used in agriculture. When retting, pour some EM bacteria into the barrel to speed up the fermentation and eliminate the odor.

2. Here is the result of one week fermentation with EM bacteria. In the pot are all kinds of peel and juicing residue. You can see that they have begun to soften and rot.

Put a piece of glass at the bottle mouth to seal it. It can be used in a month. There is no smell at all.

Add distillers' grains.

1. Distiller's grains contain a lot of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, which are natural fermentation agents. When retting, pour in a little lees, which can greatly shorten retting time.

2. Retting after adding distiller's grains will not stink, but will have a light smell. As shown in the figure below, sandwich composting is used, that is, one layer of soil, one layer of kitchen waste, one layer of soil After adding distiller's grains in the middle, the colony grows in a week, and the kitchen residue in the middle is quickly retting.

With oleander leaves

1. Oleander is poisonous. We all know it. Adding oleander leaves during retting can kill insect eggs and disperse small insects.

2. Mash the oleander leaves, put them directly into the retting bucket, and stir them for a while.

Add quicklime

1. Flower friends often complain that their hard-working retting fertilizer has produced worms, and they have to throw them away. In fact, you can add some quicklime powder to the retting barrel.

2. With quicklime, it can not only sterilize, but also contain a lot of calcium fertilizer, which can supplement nutrition for plants later.
