What is biohumus: where and how is applied

Nature itself is the creator of an exceptional substance - biohumus. This rich fertilizer has everything you need to improve the soil, plant growth and development.

Useful ingredients are contained in it in the form most accessible to assimilation by plants.

What is vermicompost and how to apply it

Biohumus is an organic microbiological fertilizer that is a loose black mass of small granules, similar to the soil. His other names are Wormcomposts, Vermicompost. Being an environmentally friendly, completely natural and biologically active fertilizer, it is formed due to the vital activity of red Californian worms,transmits organic residues through the intestine together with the earth and giving coprolites at the exit.

It contains the necessary substances and trace elements for plants:

• enzymes;
• soil antibiotics;
• vitamins;
• plant growth and development hormones;
• humic substances.

These substances with the soil are generously divided by microorganisms that inhabit it when fertilizing. Having a healing effect on the ground and displacing pathogenic bacteria, biohumus helps to increase its fertility. The composition of biohumus excludes pathogenic bacteria, helminth eggs, fly larvae, weed seeds. The physicochemical properties of biohumus are exceptional. The structure is water-resistant by 95-97%. The percentage of capacity is 200-250. Thus, vermicompost perfectly improves and improves the soil.

Biohumus is formed naturally as a result of the work of worms living in the ground, but it is also produced by industrial methods for targeted use in fields, gardens, summer cottages and pots. Industrial fertilizer contains the necessary substances in a balanced ratio and allows you to restore the natural processes in the soil,exhausted due to human activity.

Introduced into the soil, this fertilizer gives an immediate effect and preserves it for a single year, and oversaturation of the soil is impossible, because the substance is completely natural and environmentally friendly. Let's consider what effect biohumus has on soil:

• plant growth is stimulated;
• the soil heals naturally;
• increases plant immunity against bacteria and other stressful conditions;
• saplings and seedlings are easier to adapt;
• terms of seed germination are reduced;
• the growing season and ripening periods are shortened;
• yield increases;
• fruit tastes are improved;
• the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers are reduced;
• easily absorbed by plants, has high bioavailability.

Application and application rates before planting

A dry worm compost is added while digging the soil, and it is added to the wells and between the rows. The liquid form of the fertilizer is usually highly concentrated, so it is especially important to respect the proportions of dilution to avoid damage to the roots.

It is easy to use fertilizer, before adding biohumus to the soil, it is not necessary to carefully study the norms. Consider this question in more detail.

Growing seedlings

For a friendly hatching, excellent rooting, strong growth and high yield, the worm compost begins to be applied already at the stage of soaking seeds before sowing. After all, it is known that a good start is the key to successful growth and fruiting. Seeds absorb active substances with gratitude and repay with strong and quick shoots. The solution is prepared in a ratio of 1:50. Soaking time - 10-15 hours. Germinated seeds should be placed in the soil prepared for them. Biohumus is introduced into the land for seedlings in a ratio of 1: 3-5. It is possible to land in a pure substance, but it is not recommended, because if the plant is spoiled by excellent nutrient soil,then when planted in the ground, it can react badly to the soil easier.

In the future, the drug is used for watering seedlings and spraying its above-ground parts. The frequency depends on the growing conditions and the appearance of the seedlings. The solution is prepared from one liter of water and 5-10 ml of concentrate. The average recommended watering rate is twice a month.

Different cultures have a different need for feedings:

• when diving seedlings, a handful of fertilizer should be applied to each well;
• tomato and cucumber seedlings are very fond of additional feeding;
• lettuce and cabbage have less need for additional nutrition;
• flower seedlings will be grateful for the enrichment of the diet and gain strength for powerful flowering.

Planting seedlings of tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers

When planting tomatoes, cucumbers or peppers as seedlings in open ground, a handful of worm compost (100-200 g) should be added to each well, mixed with earth and watered generously, and only then planted a seedling, prikodop him and compacting the ground around the cutting with his fingers .

Cucumbers should be mulled with an additional centimeter layer of biohumus around each bush.

When using a liquid form of fertilizer, use half or a whole liter of solution for each well.

Sowing green crops

Seeds of green crops, such as dill, parsley, sorrel, onion, lettuce and others, should be soaked in a 3% solution (30 ml per 1 l of water) for 20 hours.

For sowing of swollen seeds, a worm compost should be embedded in the soil at the rate of 250 g per square meter, mixed with soil and watered abundantly. After the described preparation, the swollen seeds are sown.

The solution will need 0.5-1 liters per square.

Treat crops with a solution once a week. Concentration is the same as when soaking seeds.

Planting potatoes

Before planting potato tubers, it is recommended to soak them in a 3% solution of vermicompost for 3-4 hours. Between 50 and 100 g of fertilizer is applied to the well for each planted tuber. The equivalent of an aqueous solution of potato biohumus is used in a volume of from 0.5 to 2 liters.

Each time, before spuding, spraying is performed by adding two more parts of water to the above solution,

Planting winter garlic

Before planting winter garlic, 500 g of dry (or a liter of liquid, then without irrigation) fertilizers are applied to the square, after which the garlic is planted in the prepared soil, are applied to the soil at a depth of 10 cm.

Planting strawberries

For planting strawberries horticultural dry matter introduced into the hole, it takes 150 g per shrub. Pour a glass of water, solution - from 100 to 200 ml.

In August, when strawberries release a mustache, for rooting they use the same amount of fertilizer for each antenna.

Planting shrubs

Raspberries, currants, gooseberries and other fruit bushes are planted in the hole, where 1.5 kg of dry vermicompost or 3 liters of its solution are applied. Fertilizer must be mixed with the ground and, after watering carefully, plant a bush, compacting the ground around it.

Planting fruit trees

Depending on the size and age of the sapling of the fruit tree, introduced into the planting hole of biohumus, from 2 to 10 kg, or from 4 to 20 l of aqueous solution is required.

Planting lawn grass

To obtain a beautiful lawn with green grass, 10 kg of seeds should be soaked in 100 ml of vermicompost tea. In a layer of earth, put up 0.5-1 l of fertilizer on a square, sow the prepared soil with seeds. It is recommended to treat the lawn with fertilizer solution on a monthly basis, depending on the need, twice a month.

Application and application rates for feeding

Biohumus can be applied to the soil at any time of the year, its use will always be justified, since neither the melted water nor the rains are capable of washing the components that enrich the soil.

However, there are some rules of feeding, which are desirable to observe in order to achieve the best result.

Ornamental plants

Depending on the size of plants, their type and thickness of location in the soil, a worm compost is applied to each square of the lawn, 1 liter or 300 ml per plant.

To increase the aesthetic appearance of plants, improve their color and lengthen the flowering period, spraying should be done three times per season at weekly intervals. Vermicompost stimulates both the growth of the roots and the development of the aerial part of the plant.For ornamental plant growing, this fertilizer has no equal in combination of action power and safety.

Room flowers

Biohumus is an indispensable fertilizer for indoor plants. Being environmentally friendly and safe for others, it will not poison the air breathed by the inhabitants of housing with indoor plants, toxic substances and will not provoke poor health, headaches and other possible ailments.

Fertilizer is mixed into the planting soil in the amount of one part into four parts of the earth. Basal feeding involves the introduction of 2 tablespoons of the solution every two months.

At intervals of one week, plants are sprayed three times to stimulate the growth of green mass, strengthen and heal the above-ground part of the plant.

Shrubs and fruit trees

Trees during the growing season should be sprayed once with a 15% solution, it is permissible to spray shrubs twice.

It is possible to secure a harvest for the next year by spraying a tree at the stage of planting buds.It is very useful to mulch the centimeter layer of soil around a tree or shrub, this way significantly increases the yield.

Precautionary measures

There are not many fertilizers that can compete with biohumus in safety. Neither for people, nor for animals, not even for bees, although it helps to fight some insects, the worm compost is not dangerous.

When it is applied, the safety rules are normal, minimal. However, no one is immune from an individual reaction to any substance, so people with a tendency to allergies should be careful.

Plants should also be protected, not watering and not spraying them with undiluted concentrated solution.

Biohumus is so popular as a fertilizer by right. Being a completely natural product, it restores the soil, stimulates growth, flowering, fruiting, improves the taste of plants.Its use brings exceptional benefits and delights those who use it, always with an excellent result.
