>>132630>What materials do you compost?What comes out of my kitchen and out of my garden, nothing more. Leaves, plant clippings and mowed grass make for 85% of my composted materials I guesstimate. I turn and mix the whole thing about once every 2 or 3 months, but that's about it. I had a surplus of compost for the first time this year so I had a go at sieving it for easier storage; pic related. I'm not sure if the increase in quality was worth all the effort, but the result sure was nice.
Do note that I have a rather small garden. I don't know if my way of doing things scales up efficiently if you are using more space. Cover crops might have a better effort/results-ratio then.
The few times that I used green manure I did what the other helpful anon suggested; planted them and forgot about them. It worked out fine. I used clover; my rabbits and chickens like it and nitrogen fixation sounds nice to me.
>>132639>>132654>>132658I prefer diluting it with water and then letting it age. Urea converts into ammonia by absorbing a water-molecule. Putting it out in the sun speeds things up considerably too, since it's an slightly endothermic process. This way it's ready in a day or two. Letting it sit as a concentrated liquid will work too, but will take much longer since it will have to get its H2O from moisture in the air.
For poop-based manure I can only repeat what the other anon said; aging is mandatory. Cutting corners can mess up your plants and possibly you yourself. Baking it is sometimes suggested as a way to speed things up, but I'm not even going to try getting an okay from girlfriend for that kind of oven-usage. Not interested either.
>>132662I do the same and haven't encountered any problems yet. I give my willy a good swirl whilst peeing on my heap as not to concentrate the saltiness in one spot too much.
