A common cause of soil fatigue in a country house: what many summer residents do wrong

16.06.2023 10:17

Soil fatigue is a dangerous phenomenon that manifests itself in the form of a serious decline in soil fertility.

It is very difficult to get a good harvest on such soil cover.

Over time, things may get to the point where the soil completely depletes its resources.

In other words, the soil will become infertile and completely unsuitable for growing garden or vegetable crops.

Very often, trouble occurs due to the fault of the owner of the suburban area.

A common mistake of summer residents

Many gardeners do not follow crop rotation rules.

In other words, they plant the same plant in the garden year after year.

The crop consumes the same nutrients. As a result, the soil "gets tired".

In addition, in such an area, diseases that are dangerous to plants begin to spread more quickly.

What should a summer resident do?

Having harvested one crop in a garden bed, you need to plant another one in that place.

Moreover, it is desirable that the new plant does not need the same compounds and microelements as the previous one.

In addition, for each garden crop it is necessary to select a suitable “neighbor”.

And then the soil will not be depleted. The soil cover will retain its fertility.
