Black soil made of paper, newspapers and a black bag: a recipe for a Muscovite

Recently, a subscriber sent an interesting story to our general chat. She was upset by my article that young people do not want to engage in summer cottages, and argued that any land can and should be domesticated. "It is not for nothing that thousands of agronomists have been taught here."

Tatiana (name has been changed) shares her secret of soil cultivation.

"Having bought 10 years ago a plot of 15 acres in the Moscow region on the former peat mines, I have never bought either black soil or manure. I just uprooted the roots of the trees and made the beds. "

Further, on the advice of my older sister, every year I plant a large number of annual flowers, such as giant marigolds, amaranth, and cosmos. I constantly collect all edible leftovers (peeling of potatoes, carrots, egg shells), as well as all cardboard and all A-4 paper that appears in the house. Used napkins from the table are also used.

I put all this stuff in black plastic bags and in a year I get excellent black soil, which I then mix with sand and add the plot (I raised it by 60 cm). Now the land is fertile, and the site does not heat up in the spring.

So, spending a few packs of "Snegurochka" a year, as well as from newspapers and napkins, I get excellent black soil.

I categorically disagree with Tatiana's position: with your Snow Maiden, a huge amount of heavy metals that are contained in printing ink gets into your land. It is categorically impossible to make such a "compost".
