In order to ensure that the quality of the harvest is beyond doubt, you need to work hard to enrich the soil.

It is believed that the soil for planting vegetable crops must be carefully and thoroughly prepared.

It would not be a bad idea to enrich the hole itself during planting, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a landscape designer and agronomist.

What options can you pay attention to?

Ash with nettle

This is an interesting way to noticeably enrich the soil. You need to pick young nettles and lightly pour boiling water over them. Then chop the plant material with a knife.

Put a spoonful in the hole. Cover with a layer of soil. Put some ash. You can also add 15 grams of nitroammophoska.

Ash with fertilizers

We can get very high-quality compositions that can give an incredibly high-quality harvest. You will need to take about 3 spoons of ash.

Fertilizers are of your choice. For one hole take potassium sulfate (up to 10 grams), superphosphate (up to 12 grams) or ammonium nitrate (around 10 grams).
