Before continuing, chop or mince them in equal parts: leaves and dry bread, for example, should be mixed with leftover vegetables, which are quite moist to maintain the right balance between draining and moisturizing functions.
Now we put everything in a container and let it sit for at least 6 months, this is the approximate time during which the compost turns into fertilizer. Make sure the lid stays closed and place it in a dry location that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Check frequently to ensure that a viscous liquid does not form and, if necessary, dry it by rubbing it with paper towels. If it smells bad, then it is a sign that our mixture is not well balanced. We add a dry part of cork shavings so that it is absorbed. We ensure that our compost does not attract our pets or become a natural habitat for pests and gnats, thus frustrating our intentions.
After the time necessary for the transformation from compost to fertilizer, add it to the soil by mixing 2 parts of common soil with 1 part of homemade fertilizer.
Our plants and our garden will be so lush that they will be the envy of the neighbors!
