Gardening after rain: what to do while the soil is wet
Rain is a blessing for your garden beds because it provides the plants with the moisture they need to grow and survive.
What work needs to be done immediately after rain?
First of all, it is recommended to do weeding, as it will be much more difficult to do in a drought. The soil will become more pliable and soft.
After this, you can start hilling up the potatoes and tomatoes - the second plant can be hilled up after each rain, since the extra soil will not hurt.
Loosening the soil after rain is also very easy to do, and this work is done to prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged or crusted.
You can also think about mulching, as it helps loosen the soil and prevents crust formation on the soil.
Don't forget about fertilizing - the best time to do this is after the rain. But don't forget about the timing, as fertilizers need to be applied at a certain time.
Ideally, all types of these works can be done. But the most important thing is loosening, since a crust on the surface is a big problem.
