"By adopting mulching or composting techniques, you can turn what seems like yard waste into a natural fertilizer, enriching your soil and nourishing your plants."
Garden waste, or green waste dumping is the act of discarding or depositing garden waste somewhere it does not belong.. Garden waste is the accumulated plant matter from gardening activities which involve cutting or removing vegetation, i.e. cutting the lawn, weed removal, hedge trimming or pruning consisting of lawn clippings. leaf matter, wood and soil.
Ants create nests, making the soil more porous and transporting nutrients to different areas of the compost. [3] Beetles as grubs feed on decaying vegetables. [3] Earthworms ingest partly composted material and excrete worm castings, [3] making nitrogen, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium available to plants. [3]
Nitrogen cycle. Nitrification is the biological oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via the intermediary nitrite.Nitrification is an important step in the nitrogen cycle in soil.The process of complete nitrification may occur through separate organisms [1] or entirely within one organism, as in comammox bacteria.
As nitrogen naturally cycles through the air, water and soil it undergoes various chemical and biological transformations. Nitrogen promotes plant growth. Livestock then eat the crops producing manure, which is returned to the soil, adding organic and mineral forms of nitrogen. The cycle is complete when the next crop uses the amended soil. [1]
Hand removal is the safest method of weed management when protecting pollinators is a concern. Perennial weeds require deep digging to remove the complete root system. Hand removal is intensive ...
The SHARON (Single reactor system for High activity Ammonium Removal Over Nitrite) wastewater treatment process is a combination of two already used nitrogen removing reactions. One process utilizes fast growing nitrifiers utilizing nitrification of ammonia to nitrite and Anammox which is the denitrification of nitrite to atmospheric nitrogen ...
A primary element of organic lawn management is the use of compost [2] and compost tea to reduce the need for fertilization and to encourage healthy soil that enables turf to resist pests. [3] A second element is mowing tall (3" – 4") to suppress weeds and encourage deep grass roots, [4] and leaving grass clippings and leaves on the lawn as ...
