It is difficult to find an explanation why some summer residents stubbornly repeat the same mistakes year after year, and then complain that nothing grows in their garden.
Some people are driven to it by neighborly advice, while others do not want to part with their acquired habits because that is what their grandfather, great-grandfather, and other relatives did.
We will tell you what prevents you from harvesting a harvest worthy of respect in your own garden and vegetable plot.
Mistake one
As soon as the seedlings move to the garden, summer residents decide that now they can and should be watered. However, you should not pour water on the beds every day because it is hot. There can be nothing worse than frequent and scanty watering. It is better to water abundantly and according to the schedule.
Mistake two
Many people worry about fertilizers, but completely forget about the soil microflora. This fragile substance can be damaged if you dig up the beds regularly and several times a season. This option is only suitable for heavy soils. Light soils only need to be dug up once a year.
Mistake three
When spring and autumn come, summer residents burn leaves, grass and other vegetation - cut or trimmed. But you should not do this directly on the beds. In the process of heating, humic substances are destroyed, after which the soil becomes less fertile. And the soil microflora dies.
And the last rule is to observe crop rotation and proper neighboring beds. Otherwise, the soil will quickly become depleted and pests and diseases will breed in it.
