In autumn, soil cultivation in greenhouses traditionally begins.

If you don't do this, next year you will be tired of fighting pests and diseases.

Moreover, with the right approach, disinfecting the soil will not be particularly difficult, notes the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

How to tidy up the soil in a greenhouse

The first step is to completely remove the top seven centimeters of soil. This is a very important point, since it is in the top layer that the largest number of bacteria and pests are concentrated.

Next, we combine the humus (which has had time to rot well) with ash, prepared sawdust and sand. This will become a new layer of soil in the greenhouse.

After you have laid it out, you need to treat the new soil with a standard solution of copper sulfate for this purpose.

Then you need to mulch the soil with straw or spruce branches. By spring, you will have incredibly fertile soil in your greenhouse.

This method may seem complicated and expensive, but it is considered the best and most effective.
