How to save the fertile soil for the flower pot large volumes
You have purchased a fertile soil for flowers, but in a large pot or planter (18-20 l), it is not enough. That in this case you need to do?
How to proceed
This year I planted in large pots ampelnye Calibrachoa.
At the bottom of the pot, I spread ground sand and stone laid for drainage. Then, in the garden she gained old leaves, grass clippings, twigs thin. Pre treat their preparation "Maxim" from disease and dried. Pot filled halfway prepared mass and spilled water. Organics should absorb moisture. Then spread ground preparation "Baikal EM-1" for the efficient fermentation of plant residues and converting them into forms available for the plants in the form of compost. It mixes well with drug crop residues. Weight after soaking water settles slightly (soil microorganisms multiply well in humid and warm environments).
Then in a pot still added a mixture of leaves and cut grass that was more than half the pot. That is, there will be another layer. Adding mass shed water. I wake up to a new drug, "Baikal EM-1". Mix well again this layer.
If you see that the material is poorly absorbed moisture, it also shed water.
The remaining empty space I filled out ready universal primer, which has gained in the horticultural center. I did well to flower and put the germinated cuttings Calibrachoa. Spiked soil, well-pressed plants and watered.
Thus, using this method, I saved purchased ground, and I had enough on his landing petunia cuttings. During the summer All entered the mass in the form of leaves and grass turns into friable compost.
