Some rather strange experiments by summer residents turn out to be successful because they have a logical basis.
Usually, before harvesting, summer residents clear everything clean, and the cleared soil goes under the snow.
But there is a group of gardeners who strive to help the soil without planting numerous green manure crops.
Let's pay attention to the advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
Why do summer residents leave plant roots in the ground after harvesting?
Any soil consists of organic and mineral parts – the organic part affects the fertility of the soil.
Organic matter is added after the decay of insect remains, roots, stems and plant leaves.
It is not surprising that the roots of noble plants nourish the soil after harvesting – they successfully rot, saturating the soil “tired” after the season.
The roots of the same cabbage also attract earthworms.
