Owners of clay soil have no reason to be upset, because there is a recipe that will improve the fertility of the soil several times.

Even on such a plot you can successfully grow vegetables, trees, flowers. After adding three components, the soil will be in no way inferior to black soil.

Not all plants feel comfortable in clay soil. Some gardeners accept this fact and simply select crops that grow on almost any soil.

Other gardeners approach the problem differently. They ask how to improve the soil for most plants.

2. The summer resident's ally in this case is river sand. This is a valuable component when dealing with clay soil. 1 shovel of sand is added per 1 sq. m of the plot.

3. Beneficial microorganisms are also needed in the garden. Modern gardeners have the opportunity to purchase fertilizers based on volcanic rock, which loosen the soil well.

4. It is important to understand that it is not possible to radically change the quality of the soil in one season. But in 2-3 years you can easily become the owner of fertile land and collect a luxurious harvest.
