Peanut bran is fermented into fertilizer that can be used as compost or water fertilizer.
1. Compost with peanut bran
(1) One bottle of bacterial fertilizer fermentation liquid can ferment about 500 kilograms of crushed peanut bran or cake fertilizer. First, mix the bacterial liquid with about 30 kilograms of fertilizer. Stir the water evenly, then mix with the peanut bran.
(2) If the amount is large, you can use the layered mixing method, shake it evenly, and add some materials such as straw, feces, etc. in appropriate amounts.
(3) The moisture content after mixing must be controlled at about 40%. The judgment method is to hold the material tightly with your hands and form a ball. There are no water droplets left and it can be dispersed when it falls to the ground.
(4) Then cover the mixed materials with plastic film and pile them for fermentation. The whole process is turned over about 2-3 times. Generally, it takes 10-15 days to ferment peanut bran.
2. Use peanut bran to make water fertilizer
(1) First, mix 200 kilograms of peanut bran and 400 kilograms of water evenly, then add 1 kilogram of Qifu bacterial fertilizer starter and mix evenly. Then put it in the bucket and wait for fermentation.
(2) If bloating occurs during the fermentation process, deflate appropriately before performing sealed fermentation.
(3) The general fermentation time is about 10-20 days. The longer the fermentation time, the better the ripeness will be.
Misunderstandings in the use of peanut bran fertilizer
Peanut bran contains a large amount of organic matter, but the nutritional content of a single peanut bran is limited, and peanut bran is a slow-acting fertilizer. If only peanut bran is applied It can easily lead to plant nutritional imbalance or overgrown plants, so it needs to be combined with other fertilizers when used.
Peanut bran is an organic fertilizer. Using unrotted organic fertilizer may cause infection of bacteria and cause heat damage to the roots. Using unrotted organic fertilizer in planting holes will cause the hole soil to sink and inhibit root development.
