Frequently Asked Questions about Organic Fertilizer Fermentation(first part)

Frequently Asked Questions about Organic Fertilizer Fermentation I
1.Slow heating: the pile does not heat up or heats up slowly
Possible causes and solutions:
1. The raw materials are too wet: add dry materials according to the material ratio and then stir and ferment.
2. The raw materials are too dry: According to the humidity, add water or wet materials to maintain the moisture at 45%-55%
3. Insufficient nitrogen source: Add ammonium sulfate with high nitrogen content to maintain the carbon-nitrogen ratio at 20:1.
4. The pile is too small or the weather is too cold: Pile the pile high and add easily degradable materials such as corn stalks.
5. The pH is too low: When the pH value is less than 5.5, you can add lime or wood ash and stir evenly to adjust the pH of the fermentation pile.

2. The pile temperature is too high: the pile temperature is ≥65℃ during the fermentation process.
Possible causes and solutions:
1. Poor air permeability: Turn the pile regularly to increase the air permeability of the fermentation pile.
2. The pile is too large: reduce the size of the pile.
