Not all summer residents use peat on their plots, as they believe that it can have a negative impact.
In particular, some people think that the product can worsen the structure of the soil and make it more acidic.
It is worth noting right away that not all types of peat have the above-mentioned disadvantages. Moreover, the correct use of peat substrate will be very useful for the dacha.
Why use peat substrate on the site
Nutrients
Lowland peat substrate is commonly used as a top dressing. It is easy to recognize: the fractions of lowland peat substrate are smaller, and the color is quite dark.
This type of feeding will be very useful.
Mulching layer
An important feature of using peat substrate as a mulching layer is that it should be used in combination with phosphorus and potassium.
The layer will be about four centimeters.
Planting work
If you add peat substrate to the soil when planting, the yield indicators will please you. Remember that peat is not used in its pure form: mix it with soil.
