As soon as the snow cover in the garden melts and the remaining melt water goes away, the summer resident simply has no right to yawn.

This is the most important moment, which determines the outcome of the entire summer cottage season, if, of course, you plan to plant vegetable crops, and not lawn grass.

This is what experienced gardeners do in this case.

It will take another 1.5-2 months before the vegetable seedlings begin to take root in the garden. During this time, the beds will be overgrown with weeds, and along with them, pests will certainly appear, which often bring a whole trail of diseases.

Just one action will help solve this complex of problems.

What to do

After the soil warms up, experienced gardeners sow green manure in the garden.

This is the most successful and profitable calculation. Plants loosen the soil, improve its health, restore the disturbed balance of nutrients, protect against the growth of weeds, pests and pathogenic organisms.

Obviously, nothing like this can be achieved by adding manure or mineral fertilizers.

What to sow

It is believed that this is the best time to plant oats, mustard or phacelia. Sowing mixtures of these plants is often practiced.

After the seedlings appear, they are mowed and buried in the soil.

In addition, it would not hurt to treat the soil with phytosporin. This is done according to the instructions and after the soil dries out after the snow melts.
