Why You Shouldn't Dig Up the Soil in a Greenhouse: A Good Reason to Abandon the Procedure

Even those summer residents who have only recently begun their “responsibilities” know that with the onset of autumn, the soil in the greenhouse must be dug up.

It is customary to start this “fascinating” activity after applying fertilizers.

Imagine their surprise when they learn that this procedure cannot be carried out until the soil is properly prepared.

Only in this case can you be sure that the soil in the greenhouse is healthy and that there are no pathogens or harmful insects left in it.

So, before you pick up a shovel, “arm yourself” with a watering can with phytosporin.

This composition, if not available, will replace the potassium permanganate solution.

Water the beds in the greenhouse with any of these compounds, and only then begin to apply fertilizers and dig up the soil.

If you ignore this procedure, pathogens, disease spores and other viruses will end up deep in the ground, where they will successfully survive the winter, and with the onset of the new season they will again begin to harm crops.
