What is the procedure and what materials are needed to make dried papaya leaves into organic mulch for tomato plants?

Answer 1

That they are an organic mulch that affects soil pH and soil structure is the reason that dried papaya leaves are an effective choice in terms of tomato plants.

Specifically, foods and soils may have a pH that is acidic, alkaline or neutral. Papaya is an alkalinizing food. Its dried leaf mulch somewhat raises a soil pH. The result is a soil pH that is heading more towards the neutral range around 6.0 - 6.5 or 7.0. It actually is in that neutral range that many plants prefer the soil pH to be

Additionally, organic mulch contributes to soil structure. That means that the soil becomes better drained, healthier and more fertile through the breakdown of natural materials. Good drainage, fertility and health make for happier, healthier plants in general and tomatoes in particular in this instance.

Answer 2

[1] Plant pH can be acidic, neutral, or alkaline. [2] Mangoes and tomatoes are alkalizing foods. [3] Dried mango leaves are organic mulch. Organic mulches break down over time, and release nutrients into the soil. They don't have a big impact on soil pH. But they may make for better living conditions, for the soil food web in general and for plants in particular. For a soil pH that's off can make nutrients that are in the soil unavailable to plants.

Answer 3

Papayas and tomatoes have the same preferences for soil pH: 6.0-6.5. There are 16-18 nutrients in healthy soil. If the pH is incorrect, some nutrients may be present but unavailable to the plant. For tomatoes, lack of calcium or magnesium may be a problem. Specifically, lack of calcium is behind blossom-end rot. Dried leaves are sources of carbon. Organic matter improves soil structure and therefore fertility. The structure allows for the best pore space arrangements for air and water. Mulch keeps weeds from competing for nutrients and water. It holds moisture in the soil. And it evens out temperature extremes. No plant handles yo-yo moisture and temperature levels.

Take the Fresh or Semi-fresh leaves and bury them in about 1/2 ft. of fertilizer and sit inside in a window of direct sunlight for about 2-3 maybe 4 weeks.

This method above will compost the leaves in your house.

Normally, to use any type of leaf as effective fertilizer it will need to break down. You could put down a layer of the dried leaves on a day with little wind. Then I would recommend covering the dry leaves with a layer of Compost Mulch to prevent them from flying away.

This is more effective over a wide area. So it depends on the size of your Garden.

Dried Papaya leaves can be used as a base for an organic mulch for tomato plants by crushing and shredding the leaves and placing them above the topsoil and below the mulch.

Tree leaves draw minerals up from deep in the subsoil, and deposit them on the surface when they fall, where microarthopod "shredders", bacteria, fungi, and red compost worms break them down so they can enter the soil again.

They can be an excellant mulch for tomato plants, as long as you lay them down in thin layers--about 1"--with a dusting of manure or soil between layers. After you lay down the manure or soil, water each layer thoroughly. If you lay down one thick layer, they'll form a slimy mat that makes it harder for water to reach the roots of your tomato plants. Thin layers with soil or manure in between will prevent this.

Do 2 or 3 one-inch layers, and put a thin layer of soil or manure on top, to keep the leaves from blowing away. Water thoroughly.

WARNING: Do NOT use walnut leaves (they release jugonesinto the soil, which inhibit the growth of plants, especially nightshades like tomatoes. Also avoid aromatic leaves of herbs, and any poisonous leaves, like oliander leaves.

Mulches help prevent the soil from drying out too much and eventually the mulch is broken down by soil organisms - worms etc - and become part of the soil organic matter. Dried leaves would provide nutrients - that are in the leaf - for the soil organisms.

Papaya is a shortened way of referring to the papaya tree [Carica papaya]. Papaya leaves are the large, seven lobed individual shoots of green colored foliage on the woody branches of the papaya tree trunk. The leaves are allowed to dry out after they're picked off the branch, or from the ground when they fall. Organic refers to something that's naturally occurring, that isn't made in a laboratory. Mulchis a ground cover that's put on top of soil in order to stop weeds from growing, even out soil temperatures, and control moisture levels. The tomato [Solanum lycopersicum] is a vegetable that's seeded, orange to red in color, and high in vitamins. Plant is a non animal that may move in the sense of spreading by roots and seeds, but basically gets its food and grows by staying in place.

A three-inch (7.62-centimeter) mulch of dried papaya leaves is considered an effective organic mulch for tomato plants.

Specifically, organic mulch is applied to regulate moisture levels, temperature ranges and weedy growths. It typically is made from bark and leaves. It will be considered successful when desirable heights are attained by the stems and proper sizes are realized by foliage and fruits.

It always helps to keep things simple. An organic mulch that's papaya based doesn't need sophisticated equipment, complicated procedures, or big budgets. All you need are the leaves and a place in which to dry them. It can be as simple as a container, or a space, in the basement or shed. The place needs to be protected from air, light, moisture and temperature extremes. Once dried, the leaves may be placed as is, or they may be crumbled up, by any means from manually to mechanically, as with a composter.

Using organic mulch causes little to no damage to the soils and crops. The composition that enables dried papaya leaves to be used as an alternative organic mulch is three inches of thickness of the dried papaya leaves. The papaya leaves contain no papain enzymes and are large.

Answer 6

Yes, because the mulch of dried papaya leaves gives fertilizer that increase the plant's growth.
