🌱 Using old substrates from plants can help create a nutrient-rich environment for new plant growth as long as they're free from disease and pests.

🍊 Incorporating organic kitchen waste such as fruit peels, eggshells, and vegetable scraps adds essential nutrients back into the soil.

🌿 Adding cardboard without ink and other paper products can enhance the soil's structure and provide a carbon source for microbes.

🐛 Encouraging the presence of worms in soil can naturally aerate it and break down organic matter faster when warmer temperatures arrive.

🚫 It's important to avoid adding materials like oils, meat, or bones to the composting mix as they can attract pests and cause issues in the substrate.

💦 Proper moisture management, ensuring the substrate is moist but not waterlogged, is vital for effective decomposition and prevention of mosquito breeding.

🍂 Seasonal yard waste, such as fallen leaves and grass clippings, should be added to the mix but broken down to avoid weed growth.

🛠 Creating this nutrient-rich substrate doesn't require new purchases; one can repurpose existing materials and yard waste, promoting sustainability.

📅 This process is not instant; preparing the substrate well in advance, such as in the cooler months, will yield a fertile medium ready for spring planting.

Q&A

What should not be used as substrate for plants?

A substrate from a plant that was previously damaged with nematodes, fungus, bacteria, or virus should not be used. It's better to throw away or disinfect and reuse such substrate through a different process.

Can you reuse old substrate for new plants?

Yes, old substrate can be reused for new plants. This involves mixing it with organic matter like leaves, orange peels, eggshells, etc., and avoiding the use of meats or oils.

What should be done with kitchen waste like fruit and vegetable peels?

Kitchen waste like fruit and vegetable peels can be added to the substrate mix for decomposition, turning into a nutrient-rich medium for plants.

Can one place cardboard in the substrate mix?

Yes, cardboard can be placed in the substrate mix, but it should be free of ink to avoid contamination. Paper rolls from paper towels and toilet paper can also be used after being cut into small pieces.

What is the role of eggshells in the substrate mix?

Eggshells can be added to the substrate mix as they provide calcium and other nutrients as they decompose, benefiting plant growth.

Is it necessary to maintain moisture in the substrate mix?

Yes, it's important to maintain moisture in the substrate mix to aid the decomposition process, but it should not be waterlogged.

How can one prevent mosquitoes in the substrate mix?

To prevent mosquitoes in the substrate mix, cover the mix with a mesh that allows ventilation but has holes small enough to keep mosquitoes out. Another method is to sprinkle cinnamon powder on top.
