We are not always able to properly test the soil on a site - to do this, we need to test the entire area.
But if you have sandy soil, don't despair - you still have hope of turning it into fertile prairies.
Light and excessively loose soil can be improved by structuring it using heavier particles.
Let's take a closer look at the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What else can be done?
An annual, generous application of organic matter in the fall can have a positive effect on the condition of the soil.
You can also dig up the garden every autumn just once – but in general, there is no point in disturbing the soil with an unstable structure.
The soil can also be clayed – this is a rather labor-intensive process associated with the introduction of large volumes of dry clay powder into sand and sandy loam.
The difficulty is that you need to add a lot of powder – 3 buckets per 1 square kilometer.
