Even a novice gardener can prepare the best soil consistency for seedlings.

The secret is to add a few ingredients to regular garden soil.

Garden plants grow well if the area has loose soil containing a large amount of nutrients.

The composition of the soil largely determines what kind of harvest you can collect in the new season.

The soil can be improved through agricultural practices: fertilization, irrigation, acidity adjustment.

Peat

Peat is a reliable soil assistant that increases the humus content in it and improves its structure.

The simplest organic fertilizer enriches the soil with various mineral fertilizers.

Peat is added to the soil in spring and autumn, distributing it over the ground in a proportion of approximately 30-40 kg per m2.

Compost

Compost improves the biological activity of the soil, it stimulates the growth of plants, microorganisms, and humic substances.

Compost saturates the soil with organic matter, making it even more fertile. It is poured into the furrows in a layer of up to 3 centimeters and dug in.
