With the arrival of November, oddly enough, work in the garden and vegetable garden does not end.

For example, in the last month of autumn you can still add fertilizers to the soil. Which ones – said the expert of the online publication “BelNovosti”, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

Thus, the “permitted” category includes mineral compounds that take a long time to dissolve and transform into a form that can be absorbed by plants.

This is, first of all, superphosphate, which is needed by fruit trees and shrubs. The recommended dosage is 30 g per square meter.

In addition, in November you can feed fruit and berry crops with potassium sulfate.

To do this, make holes around the plants and pour fertilizer into them at a rate of 50 g per square.

Finally, no one forbids using complex fertilizers, including borofoska, nitroammophoska or special autumn fertilizer.

But the idea of using compositions containing nitrogen should be abandoned. Organic natural fertilizer in the form of humus or compost in late autumn is allowed to be used only as a mulching material for the trunk circles of fruit trees and shrubs.
