How to Double Soil Fertility: Summer Residents Are Delighted with This Method
Experienced gardeners use a simple method that significantly increases the fertility of the soil in the area.
Some gardeners ignore mulching. Some think it is a waste of time, others simply do not want to bother with covering material.
However, mulching helps to solve several issues. For example, the covering material suppresses the development of weeds, retains moisture in the soil. Thanks to mulch, plants receive all the necessary nutrients for a long time.
In addition, it stimulates the formation of a healthy root system and creates favorable conditions for the development of beneficial microflora.
There are many options for mulching beds. For example, sawdust, peat, straw, tree bark, and pine needles are suitable for this. Experts consider hay to be one of the best options for mulching.
The mulch layer should be at least 5 cm. Ideally, it is about 15 cm. Then it will be more difficult for weeds to break through.
