Should you dig up your garden in spring: the answer will surprise many
Spring digging of the garden is a useful, but not at all obligatory, activity.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us who can avoid digging up their garden in the spring.
Is it necessary to dig up the garden in spring?
It depends on the type of soil on the plot. If the plot has light sandy soil, it is enough to dig up the garden only in the fall.
If the soil is heavy, loamy or clayey, you cannot do without digging twice a year. This also applies to uncultivated soils.
In spring, the soil should be dug shallowly. If the soil is sandy, digging should be done without turning the layer.
As for the application of fertilizers during digging, nitrogen fertilizers are applied in the spring.
Earlier, the expert explained why it is worth planting buckwheat in the summer house in the spring.
