How to Make Nutritious Soil Yourself
How to configure nutritious soil mainly depends on the plants you are growing. For example, for green plants, vegetables, or succulents, the requirements for configuration are different.
So, it cannot be configured simply and generally. We need to configure according to the plant's growth habits and requirements. Here are some simple shares for everyone.
Plants have different growth habits; some prefer acidic soil, some neutral, and some alkaline soil.
However, some plants have requirements for soil fertility, breathability, and water retention, while others do not, and have strong adaptability. I'll briefly mention a few configuration methods.
1. Acidic SoilMany flowers in the south prefer acidic soil, such as gardenia, azalea, and michelia, etc.
The planting soil configuration requirements are loose, breathable, fertile, with good water permeability, no waterlogging, and good water retention. Generally, a mixture of decomposed leaf soil, garden soil, and river sand can be used.
2. Alkaline SoilPlants like cacti and pomegranate flowers prefer alkaline soil, so when configuring nutritious soil, it needs to be loose, breathable, fertile, and slightly alkaline. A mixture of decomposed leaf soil, limestone soil, and coal slag can be used.
3. Soil for VegetablesIf growing vegetables, configuring nutritious soil is simple, using garden soil and decomposed leaf soil, and adding some base fertilizer at the bottom can promote better growth.
Of course, a higher-end configuration would be to add some peat soil rich in nutrients, which can promote faster growth of vegetables.
4. Soil for SucculentsFor succulents, the soil is generally particle-based, such as peat soil, perlite, vermiculite, coal slag, and volcanic rock, etc. These can be used to mix soil for succulents, which are breathable, fertile, and loose, meeting the basic requirements for succulent soil.
【Summary】
Actually, configuring nutritious soil mainly focuses on being loose and breathable, fertile with nutrients, good breathability, and good water retention.
Meeting these basics can grow plants well, and then slight adjustments can be made according to the plant's growth characteristics. Watering and fertilizing in the later stages can also improve the components of the nutritious soil.
