For many gardeners, digging or plowing beds is almost a traditional pastime. They dig the ground because that's what their grandfather, great-grandfather and other relatives did.
Advanced gardeners approach free labor more thoroughly and rationally, based on the position - do no harm.
It is no secret that regular digging with constant turning over of the layer of fertile soil only worsens the quality of the soil.
First of all, owners of areas with sandy soil should come to their senses. In this case, the useful substances will be washed away by rain or scattered like dust in the wind.
Only heavy soils require mandatory and regular digging.
For other cases, there are some tricks.
Experienced gardeners have long been using green manure, which, due to its properties, can free you from slave labor, pests and diseases.
It is only important to choose the right crops for sowing, which will take on the main work.
Crops such as mustard and radish, corn and peas, which can be sown in spring and autumn, are excellent for loosening the soil.
Another nice thing is that the roots of these plants will not only loosen the soil, fight pests and diseases, but they will also prevent weeds from growing.
The gardener will only need to add biopreparations, as well as perlite and vermiculite, so that the soil becomes even more airy and loose.
