Constantly digging up the garden is a fairly common habit among summer residents.

But should this be done on a regular basis and how effective is digging on crop yields?

It turns out that regular digging in both spring and fall can cause other plants to grow.

Let's pay attention to the opinion of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

It turns out that in just a week the summer resident will have to take a hoe in his hands and remove weeds by hand.

If you want to reduce the activity of weed growth, it is better to use spunbond or other covering material.

It would also be a good idea to rake the beds before sowing crops, but this action is relevant in the spring. It is not necessary to dig up the garden in the fall.
