Fertilizer heap fermentation begins after the raw materials are mixed with a starter culture and any necessary additives. Once in the active fermentation phase, proper ventilation is crucial, especially during summer when the temperature tends to rise quickly. If the temperature becomes too high, it's advisable to sprinkle water lightly to regulate it. In winter, the goal is to maintain an initial temperature of around 15°C to ensure the process starts effectively. Most organic materials will typically reach temperatures above 50–60°C within 48 hours, signaling that the stacking process can begin.
As the pile turns, the temperature will increase more rapidly. If the core temperature exceeds 65°C, it’s important to turn the pile again to prevent overheating. During each turning, make sure to swap the inner and outer layers of the material to promote even decomposition and fermentation. If the pile becomes too dense or lacks airflow, you can puncture it with a tool to improve oxygen circulation.
After 3–4 turnings, the original manure smell should significantly reduce, replaced by a mild ammonia and earthy aroma, indicating successful biological activity. The presence of white fungal mycelium throughout the pile is a clear sign that the fermentation process is complete and the compost is ready for use. This careful monitoring and management ensure the final product is rich in nutrients and safe for application.
1. Organic fertilizers are fertilizers that are naturally produced.
[1] Fertilizers are materials that can be added to soil or plants, in order to provide nutrients and sustain growth. Typical organic fertilizers include all animal waste including meat processing waste, manure, slurry, and guano; plus plant based fertilizers such as compost; and biosolids.
[2] Inorganic "organic fertilizers" include minerals and ash. Organic refers to the Principles of Organic Agriculture, which determines whether a fertilizer can be used for commercial organic agriculture, not whether the fertilizer consists of organic compounds.
2. Farming application：
[1] Plant:Processed organic fertilizers include compost, liquid plant manures, humic acid, grain meal, amino acids, and seaweed extracts. Other examples are natural enzyme-digested proteins. Decomposing crop residue (green manure) from prior years is another source of fertility.
[2] Compost provides little in the means of nutrients to plants, but it does provide soil stability through increasing organic matter. Compost does help microorganisms proliferate which in turn breaks down decaying plant material into substantial bio-available nutrients for plant to easily assimilate. Compost does not need to be fully plant-based: it is often made with a mix of carbon-rich plant waste and nitrogen-rich animal waste including human excreta as a means to remove pathogens and odor from the latter.
[3] Grain meals can be made of corn gluten, alfalfa, cottonseed, or soybean. Most supply nitrogen and potassium, but soybean meal provides nitrogen and phosphorus.When initially spread they can cause an increase in ammonia within the soil and burn seeds, it is recommended to use these after plants have developed, to ensure crop success.
[4] Other ARS studies have found that algae used to capture nitrogen and phosphorus runoff from agricultural fields can not only prevent water contamination of these nutrients, but also can be used as an organic fertilizer. ARS scientists originally developed the "algal turf scrubber" to reduce nutrient runoff and increase quality of water flowing into streams, rivers, and lakes. They found that this nutrient-rich algae, once dried, can be applied to cucumber and corn seedlings and result in growth comparable to that seen using synthetic fertilizers
[5] Ash produced by plant combustion is also an important K fertilizer.
