Urban Farm DB summary
A study reporting the incorporation of substrate into an ecological garden while applying strategies for organic production. Solid waste was sorted and organic waste used to develop three types of compost: the first from humus-rich soil with 10% sandy soil, the second from silty soil with 20% sandy soil, and the third from silty soil with 40% sandy soil, aimed at improving water filtration and moisture retention. Each compost was combined with production strategies using biostimulants and ecological micro- and macronutrients, and irrigation water was monitored for chlorine concentration and pH before use. The compost made from silty soil with 40% sandy soil, combined with 5 mL of a biostimulant that adjusted alkaline water to neutral pH, produced the greatest increase in soil fertility and the best improvement in germination, cultivation, and post-harvest development.
