Too much salt in the soil can cause a decrease in crop yields – some crops refuse to grow in such conditions.
The main sign of oversalting is the presence of salt traces.
They appear due to improper fertilization of the garden with mineral fertilizers.
Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh regarding this problem.
How to solve the problem of soil salinity
Salt dissolves quite well in water, so after harvesting, you can water the soil generously several times. But it is important to do this in such a way that the area does not turn into a dirty puddle.
After the salt has gone into the lower layers of the soil, it is better to mulch the garden with peat, which absorbs moisture well.
Some gardeners resort to a radical measure - removing the top layer of soil and laying down a new one.
But you have to pay for this service, and doing it yourself takes a very long time.
