Optimize Your Urban Garden: Transform Waste into Resources

Revolutionize your urban garden with organic compost

For those seeking to maximize the productivity of their urban garden, every detail (such as the irrigation system) is important to promote the plant growth. A key strategy is creating compost from organic waste, an approach that not only benefits your plants, but also supports a sustainable lifestyle.

From waste to resources: the advantage of compost

Compost is obtained through a controlled process of decomposition of organic remains in which microorganisms act to disintegrate the organic matter, resulting in a beneficial fertilizer for crops. By mixing kitchen waste, garden waste and other materials rich in carbon and nitrogen, a fertilizer with high nutritional value is obtained. This method not only nourishes the plants, but also supports a sustainable ecological cycle.

Practical guide to creating your own compost

Below we list some simple steps to generate your own compost and have your urban garden in perfect condition.

• Optimal location: Choose a shaded area, either using a closed composter or a direct pile on the ground.
• Carbon and nitrogen balance: Balance materials rich in carbon (dry leaves, paper) with those rich in nitrogen (kitchen waste, grass).
• Preparation of materials: Cut or shred waste to facilitate its decomposition.
• Layered organization: Alternate layers of different materials, adding soil or mature compost to boost decomposition.
• Humidity control: Maintain proper humidity, adding water if necessary. On our website you can find different automatic irrigation programmers for that purpose.
• Effective oxygenation: Stir the compost periodically to oxygenate it.

Finally, by transforming your waste into compost, you not only enrich your urban garden, but you also contribute to a more sustainable environment. Each step in this process represents progress towards a more prosperous and ecological garden. We hope you have optimal results and enjoy healthy and natural foods.
