Much will depend on the quality of the soil in your summer cottage, so you need to do everything you can to improve it.

Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the most effective methods.

Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, identifies three main methods.

What do they consist of?

River sand

This is a very simple and effective method of solving the problem of heavy and hard soil. Sand will make it much softer, looser and more airy.

Mulching

Few people know that regular mulching has a significant impact on improving the quality of the soil. Constant contact with the top layer makes the soil high-quality.

Therefore, try to lay out ten centimeters of mulch. If we are talking about humus or compost, then five centimeters will be quite enough.

Green manure

This is the most democratic way to make the soil high-quality and fertile without much effort and significant costs. It is worth planting green manure plants for this purpose on a regular basis. In this case, the effect will be more pronounced.
