The fertile soil layer needs support, and poor farming can result in the land turning into sterile soil where only weeds can survive.

That is why it is so important to follow agricultural practices and to apply fertilizers and other additives in a timely manner and in the right quantities.

This process is not complicated, and experienced gardeners say that increasing soil fertility is a piece of cake.

Yes, fertilizers, nutrient infusions, biopreparations – no one has cancelled all of this and beneficial soil microflora will not survive long without them.

But in addition to all these additives, you need to remember the simplest techniques, such as mulching or using covering material.

As is known, in addition to poor farming, soil quality is reduced by the influence of wind, precipitation, frost and other natural processes.

It is mulch that allows you to preserve all the useful microelements and protect the soil from overheating or freezing.

At the same time, moisture is retained, which ultimately increases crop yields, reduces the number of weeds, and with them the spread of pests and pathogenic environments in the soil.

Agrofibre is used for covering, as well as natural materials - most often straw or hay.
