What to do if you can't get a shovel into the ground: how to deal with compacted soil in the garden
Hard soil that is difficult to push a shovel into is a result of improper care.
Most often, this phenomenon is a consequence of the presence of a large amount of clay components.
Many gardeners have a habit of frequently digging up the soil, which results in loam ending up on the surface.
Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
How to deal with soil that is too heavy
Note that in this case, repeated digging before the onset of severe cold weather can help, but the depth should not be more than 10 cm.
But it is better not only to dig, but also to add sand in the amount of 1 bucket per 1 square meter.
You can attract earthworms to the site, which you can dig up outside the site and add to the beds of decomposing organic matter for them.
Earthworms are also attracted to dandelion infusion - pour 1 kg of shoots with 10 liters of water.
