One of the constant disputes in summer cottages is the need to dig up the beds.
But experts have already answered this question a long time ago. The need to dig beds in spring and autumn exists only for those who have heavy and dense soil in their garden. If the soil is loose, then there are no problems.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist, landscape designer, told what needs to be done to ensure that the soil in the garden is loose and fertile.
It won’t be possible to achieve such results without any effort, but there is a solution to the problem and, what’s most pleasing, you can do it with natural remedies.
Firstly, green manure to help
In order to improve the quality of the soil and its composition, it is necessary to sow green manure in the beds twice a year.
Mustard copes with this task best of all. It acts as a natural leavening agent, and its sowing also allows you to saturate the soil with the necessary potassium and phosphorus.
Secondly, perlite and vermiculite
Don't be afraid of the strange names. Both are natural materials.
Owners of areas with heavy and dense soil need to apply these substances every year.
They loosen the soil, which improves oxygen access.
Thirdly, biopreparations
A wide range of biological products is available in stores.
They have a beneficial effect on soil microflora, which again has the best effect on the condition of the soil and its fertile properties.
