The benefits of sawdust as a soilless substrate

The characteristics of sawdust: carbon-containing about (C) 58.4%, nitrogen 0.26% (N), hydrogen (H) 0.08%, ash content 2.6% (C), carbon-nitrogen ratio (C/N), is a general biological Organic materials that are difficult to deal with by the starter (natural fermentation is more difficult, it usually takes a year or two). The use of special fermentation agents such as Gembio fermentation can greatly accelerate the fermentation process. But pay attention to the correct operation, especially the adjustment of carbon/nitrogen ratio is one of the key links. Sawdust fermentation must add appropriate amount of nitrogen source (nitrogen fertilizer or poultry manure), adjust the appropriate carbon-nitrogen ratio, in order to obtain a better fermentation effect. Sawdust is an inexpensive soilless substrate that has the following characteristics as a soilless substrate:

The lightweight sawdust matrix is ​​light, and it is similar to the bulk density of perlite and vermiculite. As a long-distance transport or high-rise building cultivation of flowers is a good substrate.

Absorptive water-absorbing sawdust has good water absorption and permeability. For most plants with thick roots, they all agree to meet the proportion of water vapor. For plants with fine roots, in the southern cities with high humidity or coastal cities such as Jidandong The proportion of sawdust moisture is also very suitable. In dry areas in the north due to the better permeability of sawdust, the roots are easily air-dried, causing plant death. In these areas, the use of sawdust is best to use peat to form a mixed matrix.

However, we must pay attention to: The new sawdust shipped from the factory should first understand the source of sawdust, if it is from the sea wood may contain excessive amounts of sea salt, this clock is best not to use sawdust, if necessary, must be washed with water Salt to a concentration of 10 mm/l. To confirm the non-toxic sawdust, it is best to choose a sheltered, sunny place for one year and allow it enough time to ferment until the sawdust is darker and darker. Then it was sun-dried several times in the hot sun and sterilized by sunlight exposure. The disinfected sawdust should not be exposed to rain or dirt and can be used anytime.

Some tree species are harmful to the chemical composition. The sawdust of most coniferous plants contains resin and turpentine and other harmful substances, and the ratio of carbon to nitrogen is high, which is detrimental to plant growth. However, the sawdust of the shirt is very good, such as spruce and fir. In fact, as long as the products processed by the Kinpo Matrix Substrate Fermenter, it can be fermented into high-quality nutritious soil.
