In order for the harvest to always please us, it is important to monitor the quality of the soil.
However, the soil can become "tired" after a few years, especially if you do not perform special procedures to restore it.
There are several simple ways that can have a positive impact on this process, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, landscape designer and agronomist.
What do they consist of?
Compost
The simplest and most effective method of "relieving fatigue" is adding quality compost to the soil. This will help make the area fertile almost immediately.
A fairly large amount of fertilizer will be required. It is customary to take at least three buckets per square meter.
Green manure
They can be planted before and after harvest. The main task is to do this on a regular basis. Correct planting of green manure is the key to timely and high-quality soil restoration.
After harvesting zucchini, eggplant, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers, it is customary to plant lupine. If you plan to plant potatoes, the best choice would be mustard.
Rapeseed is usually planted before beets and carrots. If your goal is to improve the soil condition in general, then the best solution would be to plant legumes.
