Summer residents have long realized that, in addition to manure, there are many other useful additives that can improve the condition of the soil.
The proposed composition is no worse than biohumus in its beneficial properties. And it is even easier to add it to the beds.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told us what additive should be prepared and applied to the beds in May.
One of the folk recipes is to add a mixture of mustard cake and bone meal to the soil.
Benefits of Bone Meal
This additive saturates the soil with phosphorus, potassium and calcium, sodium, magnesium and iron, copper, chromium, iodine and other useful substances.
Mustard cake
It prevents the development of a number of plant diseases, and after decomposition in the soil, it surpasses vermicompost and manure in its beneficial properties.
How to proceed
Both powders are mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Mix and use dry.
Add during hilling at a rate of 5 tablespoons per square meter or one tablespoon per hole.
Summer residents who use this product assure that the mixture is universal and suitable for any crops.
