Can you apply fertilizer if there is snow: what summer residents say
For various reasons, gardeners do not have time to properly prepare their beds for winter.
The question arises: does it make sense to apply fertilizers if snow falls completely unexpectedly at the end of November?
Experienced summer residents have an answer to everything.
Why not?
No one forbids doing this, but the procedure is considered inappropriate if a large amount of snow has fallen and if we are talking about mineral fertilizers.
In such cases, the beneficial substances will be washed away by melt water and all efforts will be in vain.
It will be more useful to add additives to frozen soil in prepared furrows for irrigation.
In this case, the fertilizers will definitely reach the roots in the spring.
Popular organic additives such as ash and eggshell powder are also recommended to be added before the onset of snowfall.
They are distributed evenly over the surface of the beds. It is not necessary to dig them up or bury them in the soil.
It will be enough for the additives to end up under a layer of snow and then, with the melt water, they will end up where they should be.
For reference
Fertilizers are substances used to nourish plants and increase soil fertility.
