Soil depletion causes the vegetable harvest to be disappointing in volume year after year, trees bear fruit poorly, and the berries are bland and tasteless.

One of the reasons for soil depletion is economic activity, intensive farming, which makes it less and less fertile.

Depletion of soil nutrients occurs as a result of improper agricultural practices, which results in a poor harvest.

How to deal with the problem

First of all, let the soil rest a little. At this time, so that the area does not become overgrown with weeds, sow green manure. Lucerne and clover will help the soil best. Let the green manure grow in one place for at least 1-2 years.

It is useful to add organic matter under perennials. Mulch, compost, and biohum will do.

What you need to give up

You should not get carried away with the application of mineral fertilizers. Excessive feeding can cause soil salinization, which is difficult to combat.
