Top 3 Autumn Mistakes of Gardeners: Ignorance Doesn't Exempt You from Responsibility
When the autumn cold and slush come, the desire to work in the damp and cold ground completely disappears.
This is probably why mistakes occur so often, which can lead to a decrease in yield.
1. Don't forget about the need to apply fertilizers
Autumn is a good time to add fertilizers to the soil, both organic and mineral, such as superphosphate.
In addition, this is the only time of year when fresh manure can be used in the garden.
2. Don't leave the soil un-dug
The garden needs to be dug up so that large lumps of earth retain moisture and prevent nutrients from being washed out of the soil.
If for some reason you do not have this opportunity, try to correct the situation by sowing green manure on the plot.
3. Take care of garlic and onions
If you plant garlic and onions before winter, do not forget to mulch the beds - otherwise, with little snow cover in winter, the plantings will freeze.
