It is used as a fertilizer to enhance soil quality and increase its fertility. Autumn is indeed a wonderful time to create it. What can be added to the compost mix in October so that the soil rewards us with healthy plants and a bountiful harvest?
Leaves
If they are not affected by diseases, they can safely be added to the compost pile. However, there is one important point regarding leaves: it is not recommended to add them fresh. Wait until they change color before sending them to the pile.
Flowers
We tend to think that only healthy remnants from vegetable crops go into compost, but we often forget about flowers. Yet, marigolds or calendula can make a wonderful addition to the fertilizer.
Grass
After mowing the grass, it is also best to include it in the compost mix. The fertilizer will benefit greatly from this component. It is known that using grass helps the compost become a valuable source of nitrogen. This component should be added correctly. It is best to layer the grass while mixing it with other ingredients. Also, avoid the formation of obvious clumps.
