Soil Physical Structure Improvement
(1) Soil Conditioner

One of the functions of soil conditioner is to restore the structure of soil mass by sticking the broken soil particles into small clusters. The specific application is relatively easy, before or after turning the ground, directly scattered on the ground, and then watered, soil conditioner in the role of water will become particularly sticky, a small group of particles will form a soil colloid, this colloid will form the soil particle structure, to ensure that the soil breathable, fertilizer, root system is also easier to root down.

Secondly, there is an acidic soil conditioner on the market, ph pH at 3.0-4.0, this product is suitable for improving alkaline soil, while paying attention to the dosage should not be too large!

(2) Straw and Organic Fertilizer

I found in the countryside, there are many farmers friends are still using unrotted manure as organic fertilizer. In fact, this practice is extremely wrong! Many people may say, how do you need to deal with manure, sun-dried on the line, the old ancestors used for hundreds of years, which is so troublesome.

But the fact is, nowadays, when manure is applied, it needs to be treated. Because a few decades ago, manure treatment are very simple, when raising chickens and pigs, no one will add a lot of antibiotics and additives containing heavy metals in the feed, a small number of free-range livestock and poultry produce a small amount of manure has long been reused to fertilize the fields.

But with the rise and development of large-scale farming, this situation has long changed. Manure, unfermented inside there are harmful substances such as insect eggs, long-term use is easy to cause damage to greenhouse vegetables, orchards and other cash crops, such as: burning the roots and seedlings, the use of the root of the seedlings.

Such as: burning roots and seedlings, after using the fermentation is not complete manure, the hand will be inserted into the soil, will feel the soil temperature is higher. Severe patches or full shed death, missed farming time, loss of labor and seedling investment. Especially the winter and spring application of the greatest safety risks, because at this time the greenhouse temperature is high, the second fermentation of manure will give off a lot of heat, resulting in the phenomenon of root burning; orchard winter and spring use of chicken manure, just before and after the dormancy of the root system, once the root burning, will affect the nutrient accumulation and the next year's flowering and fruit. So we must ferment manure!

No matter it is chicken manure or cow manure, it can be fermented by adding straw to rot when using it. Take chicken manure as an example, it is rich in organic matter and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, a layer of chicken manure plus a layer of straw, chopped together to ripen and ferment, not only can the salts in the chicken manure down, but also more organic matter can be ripened out, while high temperature fermentation can eliminate a large part of the pathogenic bacteria. Soil salinization serious plots, you can use a lot of straw, straw rotting process can absorb part of the salt, reduce the salinity of the soil.
