Many experienced gardeners are accustomed to using various natural components to care for their plots.
The leaves are of particular interest.
Some people are afraid to use them for some reason, although this is unfounded. Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh recommends taking a closer look at birch leaves.
How can they be applied?
To improve soil quality
For this purpose, it is not necessary to dry fallen wet leaves: they can be used in any form. Plant material is buried in the soil in order to improve its structure and quality.
After this, you can safely grow any vegetable or berry crops in the garden bed.
Mulch
An excellent mulching layer comes from birch leaves. Such plant material is considered one of the highest quality and most popular.
Making ash
Many people are used to using ash on the site, but its quality will always depend on the source material. Excellent ash comes from burning birch leaves.
The composition of the product is always rich and high-quality.
Birch leaves can also be traditionally used to enrich compost.
