Abstract

Method for processing of sheep wool to fertilizer, wherein the wool is mixed with woody ash and subsequently with water in the rate of 1 : 5. The mixture is then left staying 3 to 4 weeks.

Description

Method of processing sheep wool into fertilizer

Technical field

The solution relates to a method of processing unnecessary sheep wool into ecological, widely used fertilizer for domestic and industrial use in gardens, orchards, fields and bushes.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In Slovakia, lashing was a traditional craft of livelihood of the population. In some areas, the only source was direct families. The main product of sheep breeding was the production of cheese, mustard, meat and wool. Nowadays, the processing of wool has remained financially unattractive. Sheep wool remains a shed as a waste product, and polite buyers buy wool at a minimum price. Sheep wool often remains unsold and, due to lack of storage space, is buried in the ground, where it is degraded for a long time. Combustion is not possible for the unpleasant smell around.

Organic fertilizer remained very important, attractive for the production of organic food, without the addition of other chemical raw materials. Collecting organic waste and treating it in an environmentally friendly way is not only essential for the protection of natural resources, but is also necessary in agriculture for the use of fertilizers.

The essence of the technical solution

The basis of sheep wool processing is accelerated decomposition into biological elements with the addition of wood ash with fluid retention. The wool is decomposed by hydrolysis without increasing the temperature and without vapors. Naturally, they return to the cycle of biological raw materials without losing precious substances such as nitrogen in amino acids.

The wool must be cut into small pieces before mixing with water and wood ash. The ash must consist of the burning of wood raw materials, preferably oak or beech ash, and any coarse waste or wood debris must be removed. Wool and ash must be

- 1 mix 1: 5 with water and place in containers that do not react with the mixture. This remains for 3 to 4 weeks, after which the wool dissolves and forms a thick, gray mixture with the ash.

Dissolved wool is directly applicable to fertilizer, but better if diluted with water to spill easily on the ground. The fertilizer is not hot, it aerates and neutralizes the ground, so we cannot use it for plants that require acidic soil. It is rich in biological potassium from ash and nitrogen from wool.

Alternatively, the fertilizer can also be dried after processing. It is to be used in loose form later as necessary for planting by sowing.

Example

Weigh one kilogram of wool and cut it into smaller pieces or stretch it a bit. Sieve the oak or beech ash through a sieve with a diameter of about 3 to 4 mm.

Sieving is important for mixing well. Remove any coals or other impurities to keep the ash finer. The treated ash is gradually mixed into the wool in such a way that the wool and ash are well translated. Most of the ash must be attached between the wool. No white specks of wool should be left.

Put the mixed mixture in a plastic, glass or concrete, impermeable tank and pour water. The water must be enough to produce a wet, thick mass by stirring. After good mixing to the surface, pour out the remaining ash. Straighten the mixture to expel large air bubbles. The mixture must be well wet on the surface during storage. Let all this stand for 3-4 weeks. During this time the wool dissolves into a liquid and the water rises a few centimeters above the meat. The fertilizer is ready for use.

Before watering the plants, dilute the fertilizer with any amount of water and spread to the roots. We fertilize it with agricultural crops. In about ten days, the plants get a nice, deep green color and speed up their vegetation process. When it comes to roots or leaves, the fertilizer does not burn the plant, it only turns it to ash, which is washed by rain or rain. If the fertilizer leaves a gray coating on the ground, the ground should only be sprinkled after drying.

The fertilizer dissolves over time.

-2Industrial utility

Wool and wood ash are almost waste materials that do not cause stinking fumes by this large-scale fertilizer treatment. Their processing is technically undemanding and without financial or energy costs. By drying, the fertilizer is easily stored and transported. Customers can be growers of vegetables, fruit or in large quantities farms. For sheep farmers, processing wool into fertilizer is a new economically interesting opportunity.
