can l put this compost plus into the soil

I don't know why you would want to do that. If you're trying to improve the nutrients and the microbial content of your soil I would add manure and earth worms - this is assuming you can't add compost. Adding compost of course does all this for you and more.

Technically, I don't see why not, but don't know what purpose it would serve. This mix is full of the little bacteria that live in soil to break down decaying matter. So we put it in our composter to make the stuff in our composter turn into soil. So while it won't harm soil, I don't know how it would help?Just my opinion.

I use it when transplanting, applying the mycorrhizae granules directly onto the exposed roots. I do use compost, but do not use nitrogen fertilizer at that time. My understanding is that extra nitrogen tends to inhibit the nitrogen fixing function of the mycorrhizae. Once the plant is established with its own population of mycorrhizae inhabiting the roots I suppose that one could supplement with fertilizer as needed.

No you cant push it directly in the soil. To ph soil, you would need to mix your soil in some neutral ph solution or ph'd water, then use your device to measure the ph.

You do not have to mixed with the soil, although it might work faster. This is a very fine granular gypsum, therefore it resolve easier than some cheaper kind. You can spread it around your plants or lawn, then water them right away to dissolve it.

Once you fill the composter, it takes time for it to break down so you can pour it on your garden. If you keep adding stuff, you will eventually have to empty the composter that still has uncomposted stuff in it - then pick that stuff out, or plow it into your garden. Having two chambers allows one to finish decaying while you start the next batch.

Yes , it just takes enough rain/water to soak it into ground. Even if it doesnt rain a lot it will help get granules down against the dirt/soil

It all depends on your soil. This will add fertilization to your soil but, if the soil is poor you may want to add extra separately.

I use a minimum of two cups in my home made 55 gal composter, and it speeds up the heat even in cooler temperatures. Make sure you use plenty of green matter to add nitrogen and if moisture levels are low, add some water. This compost starter also adds micro organisms that help your plants absorb the N-P-K and minerals after you use the compost, improving health and resistance to disease. I even add this as an organic fertilizer when setting out transplants.

Composting time depends on temperature and moisture. To have garden-ready compost (for me) takes several months. I add as the year goes along and pull out compost during the summer for the garden. Remember to mix kitchen garbage with grass and leaves to get the proper mix of nutrients.

Soil would depend on what you are planting. I used Potting Soil for flowers. If veggies/herbs then garden soil would be fine. Also filled it almost to top (3 bags) and the flowers should drape over within a few weeks.

they most definitely will not compost in this. unless you create the worlds smallest compost bin with this :)this is meant for keeping them in your kitchen/house until you can transfer them to something bigger.

See if you can find a large boot tray or similar "platform" to place under the composted. Lay some newspaper and dirt on that. Then place your composted on it, start filling it, and you should be good to go!

Yes, you can open the doors below and remove the compost. You of course, can stir, but I don't. I do, periodically add some soil or peat moss or manure so that I get a good mix.

This is intended to mix into you garden soil. However, I DID use it in containers [because the price was so good] but I mixed it half and half with potting soil and that has worked nicely.

I generally use it as an amendment to my soil and sprinkle a little(tsp or 2) into the hole for all transplants. This year I mixed it with green sand and everything seems very happy.I only use it in the Spring and for starters. Seems to be water soluble, would probably work good in a fertilizer tea.

Yes, you can put in food scraps into the compost barrel. There are a few exceptions - don't put in dairy or meat products. And if the food is chopped up, all the better, because it will deteriorate faster. You can also include grass clippings and garden plants (if healthy). Composting is very interesting - you can spend a while reading about it. Or, to get quick answers, you can look for videos or articles on websites. There are excellent websites connected to Universities (which also give out information to your county Extension Office, which can provide great info. about composting). Living in Maryland, I can heartily recommend composting information from the University of Maryland Extension. Just enter "University of Maryland Extension composting" and you'll get good information!

Hello.Ask manufacturer if material is food safe.If good,fill with clean garden soil,or organic potting soil.Use organic amendments.
