There is no need to tell you what kind of miracle fertilizer dolomite flour is. It is equally useful in the garden and for indoor plants.
Usually, gardeners try to prepare the soil for sowing in the fall, but it is also possible in the spring, if you know what and when to add to the beds.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told whether it is possible to use dolomite in the spring.
Benefits of Dolomite Flour
It contains calcium and magnesium, without which plant development is possible, but not as effective.
Calcium is essential for the root system. Magnesium is necessary for photosynthesis.
If these elements are lacking, the plants develop poorly and the harvest is poor.
In addition, fertilizer is necessary to combat diseases, increase the fertile properties of the soil, and normalize acidity.
When to apply
In general, dolomite can be added at any time of the year. But when it comes to spring, not all gardeners act correctly.
Firstly, dolomite is added no later than 2-3 weeks before planting.
Secondly, it can be evenly distributed over the area of the garden bed or under the planting crop.
Thirdly, acidic soil is processed at least once a year. The flour should be distributed with a rake, and then the soil should be dug up to the depth of a shovel blade.
Fourthly, when cultivating the soil in the greenhouse, it is necessary to observe the dosage. One glass of dolomite flour is added per square meter, and there is no need to dig up the soil.
