Autumn is a very important time for gardening and horticulture, as it helps to contribute to the next year's harvest.
However, mistakes are also common.
Especially if we are talking about novice summer residents, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.
What are three shortcomings worth remembering?
Incorrect handling of fertilizers
The end of the season is a really important time to apply fertilizer, as the soil has used up a lot of nutrients. But that doesn't mean you can apply just any fertilizer.
If you are not sure, then you should limit yourself to compost or humus.
Adding ash without "indications"
It is not worth considering that ash is a universal remedy that can be applied at any time to any area of soil. Many summer residents significantly reduce their crop yields for this very reason.
Remember that in order to normalize acidity, the soil must actually be acidic.
Improper handling of plant residues
Not all plant remains are subject to immediate disposal. Most often, it is fallen leaves that are "hit", which are considered a source of pests and diseases. It is enough to simply treat the foliage with "Baikal" or a similar preparation and use it as excellent mulch or valuable fertilizer.
