If there are too many pests in the beds, the powder can be scattered over the area, and only then can you start planting vegetables.

In autumn, when it is time to start digging up the fruits, it is necessary to prepare mustard and phacelia. These green manures have a great effect on the soil condition. Closer to winter, the plants should be mown down, and the green mass should be left in the beds until next year.

In addition, closer to winter, you need to check the acidity level. If the level is elevated, then you need to add dolomite flour to the soil.
