The new dacha season has recently begun. Gardeners are busy growing seedlings and planting in open ground those garden crops that can cope with frosts.
Often, the initial period of plant care is accompanied by a number of serious mistakes.
A mistake made in the spring can result in low yields.
How to avoid getting into such a situation and not losing the harvest? What should not be allowed?
Choosing the wrong fertilizer
Each vegetable crop and each garden plant needs its own set of fertilizers.
Some representatives of the flora cannot do without sources of potassium, others - without sources of nitrogen.
An error in choosing a fertilizer can result in the soil containing many unnecessary substances and microelements. At the same time, there will be too few important compounds.
This is why a summer resident should carefully read the instructions before applying any fertilizer, MOS SMI reports.
Overwatering
Some amateur gardeners and vegetable growers are sure that the more water they use when watering in the spring, the better.
This is a misconception. It is not always necessary to water garden and fruit crops abundantly.
On the contrary, in some cases, excess moisture can cause the development of fungal diseases and problems with the plant’s root system.
Mistake in the arrangement of trees in the garden
Fruit trees and shrubs must be positioned in a certain way.
Some plants (plum, raspberry, currant) are suitable for shaded areas. But many others can only be planted in a place that is well lit by the sun.
Also, dangerous "neighborhoods" should not be allowed. For example, there should not be a cherry tree next to an apple tree.
