If the soil in the garden becomes acidic, it will have a negative impact on the development of many plants.
Basically, the most popular crops require neutral soil.
If the acidity level is elevated, then this issue should be addressed, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an agronomist and landscape designer, and an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What methods are considered the most effective?
Liming
Many experienced gardeners believe that liming can be called the fastest and most effective way to reduce acidity levels.
It will be necessary to add half a kilogram of lime per square meter. This amount will be enough to normalize the indicators on acidic soils.
If the acidity level is average, then you can add three hundred grams to the same area.
Dolomite flour
Many gardeners like dolomite flour, which works noticeably softer than lime, but no less effectively. You will also need to add half a kilogram of dolomite flour per square meter in acidic soil.
If the acidity level is average, you can add a glass of dolomite flour.
Remember that dolomite flour can be applied at the very beginning of the season without any problems. The product is also used when planting plants.
Ash
When talking about reducing acidity, it would be wise to mention ash. The remedy is proven and effective. Ash will not only help normalize acidity, but will also have a positive effect on the chemical composition of the soil.
However, you will need significantly more ash. It is customary to take one and a half kilograms of fertilizer per square meter.
