The standard way to increase soil fertility in a suburban area is to use organic or mineral fertilizers.

The method is effective. However, the chemicals are quite expensive.

But as far as manure is concerned, it is possible that the summer resident simply will not be able to collect a sufficient amount of it.

Fortunately, there is another type of "organic" that you definitely won't have any problems accessing.

The owner of a country plot will be able to obtain this product either absolutely free of charge or by paying a not very large sum.

In addition, such “organic matter” will not cause any harm to the soil or garden crops.

Straw, which is a source of a huge amount of important substances and microelements, will help improve the quality of the soil cover.

It is enough to add dry stalks of cereals to the soil - and the earth will receive a more suitable structure for growing plants. The soil cover will become looser.

But you need to follow a number of recommendations. First, you should add chopped straw.

Secondly, the soil must be processed to a depth of at least 0.1 meters.

Thirdly, there should be more than 50 kilos of straw per 100 square meters of land.
