It is safe to say that those summer residents whose plots are completely covered with black soil are very lucky. However, as you can imagine, fortune does not smile on everyone.
Therefore, sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands and, as in this case, work with clay or nutrient-poor rocky soil.
Of course, you can bring a couple of trucks with manure or compost to your site and unload it in the garden, but such an idea will cost you a pretty penny.
Instead, try going the other way and improving your soil for free.
It is best to do this in the fall, because you will need such “materials” as fallen leaves, pine needles and forest humus.
Agree that you don’t need to pay to go into the forest and collect the listed “ingredients” in bags and buckets.
We will also share some useful advice on where it is best to look for this good stuff: according to the experience of summer residents who have been practicing this method year after year, the most excellent humus can be found under old pine trees, right at the tree trunk.
Upon returning home, you will be able to pour the collected "gifts of the forest" into the beds and greenhouse. Gardeners claim that cultivated plants will grow no worse than on manure.
