Any gardener can face such an unexpected problem: to go into a greenhouse and see soil that has acquired a greenish tint.
In such a situation, some summer residents panic: they come to the conclusion that the soil cover has become unsuitable for growing plants.
However, an expert from the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh assures that there is no talk of any catastrophe.
The soil is fine. But some measures should still be taken.
Why did the soil turn green?
This usually happens in the spring, when the snow melting period ends.
The greening of the soil is merely evidence of the “awakening” of completely safe algae.
The latter begin to show rapid development if the soil becomes too wet.
What needs to be done
Although algae are unlikely to harm garden crops, gardeners should not ignore changes in soil color.
The fact is that this is a signal that there are not the most favorable conditions.
Apparently, the soil cover is over-watered and excessively hard.
The problem is solved by digging the soil and periodically airing the room.
Earlier, summer residents were told what to feed tomatoes with to get incredibly sweet fruits.
