Composts live from the decomposition of microorganisms and compost worms. Provinea is the ideal rotting agent. Its huge surface area creates large additional colonization areas. This makes the microbiology in your compost heap more active. At the same time, the minerals and trace elements are added to the rotting, mostly organic compounds. At the end of the decomposition chain, a high-quality humus is created which is ideal for fertilization. Since no foul gases are produced during the aerobic decomposition process, its use can significantly reduce unpleasant odors. An advantage which avoids a lot of trouble in residential areas.
It is ideal if you regularly sprinkle Provinea® over the mass to be rotted. 10-20% of the weight of the compost can be added. The longer the conversion time, the better the mass can break down into humus. It is also very useful to apply it at the same time as the organic mass during surface composting. In this case the decomposition processes run more slowly via the soil biology. To achieve optimal composting, it is recommended that the rotting mass be regularly sprinkled with Provinea®. 10 to 20% of the compost weight can be added. The longer the conversion time, the better and more completely the organic mass can be converted into valuable humus. Applying Provinea® at the same time as the organic mass, for example as part of surface composting, is also highly recommended. In this case the decomposition processes run more slowly as they are mainly controlled by the natural activity of the soil biology. It is also advisable to work compost into the soil as shallowly as possible in order not to disturb biological activity and to efficiently support the conversion into humus. Compost should not be worked in too deeply if possible.
Provinea is an ideal carrier for the application of microorganisms. The large surface area of the finely ground minerals is ideal for colonization. With the help of such microorganisms, amazing results can often be achieved. The broader the spectrum of bacterial strains and fungi living in the soil, the more plant health improves.
