Organic fertilizers

This method is objectively considered one of the most effective. It is necessary to introduce nutrient compositions in the fall and spring. As a rule, from 10 to 20 liters are taken for each square meter of land.

Most often, the choice falls on compost, peat or humus.

Regular digging

With the right approach, this procedure can be one of the most effective. Every autumn, you need to dig up the soil and enrich it with any complex compositions.

Green manure

This method is simple and effective. Green manure is sown twice during the season. The first time we carry out the procedure immediately after harvesting.

Afterwards, it is worth doing it at the beginning. As a rule, you need to have time to sow green manure about 20 days before working with the main crops.

Mulch

This is an incredibly useful procedure that should be practiced on a regular basis. Mulch reduces the number of weeds and helps to establish the watering process.

It also has a powerful positive effect on the structure of the soil.
