Even experienced gardeners are not immune to common mistakes that can reduce yields and harm the crops being grown.

Therefore, you should be sure that you are doing everything correctly.

Most often, we are talking about three common shortcomings, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.

What to keep in mind

Frequent digging only harms plants.

If you want to provide air access to the root system of plants, then careful work in the form of loosening will be enough. Digging should be a rare procedure.

Not only can you damage the root system, but you can also disrupt the balance of microorganisms. This will reduce the yield to a minimum.

Activity in watering issues

Lack of moisture is, of course, harmful to most plants, but too much water can be dangerous. If you "overwater" plants, they can die.

Also, high humidity is one of the reasons for the appearance of fungal diseases.

Excess of chemicals

In some cases, folk remedies and homemade fertilizers will not be enough, but you should not use industrial preparations too often or too actively.

Chemicals have the negative property of accumulating in the soil, which will make your harvest less useful.
