Many gardeners believe that the only way to seriously increase soil fertility is to add expensive “chemicals” to the soil.
In fact, there is no need to purchase a large number of such products.
A summer resident can save a lot of money if he replaces mineral fertilizers with one well-known food product when cultivating the soil.
It turns out that there is a grain that can turn even the most infertile soil into black soil.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told about an interesting dacha life hack.
What cereal increases soil fertility
We are talking about barley groats, which are a source of a considerable amount of useful compounds.
In addition, the product contains many microelements that are necessary for garden and horticultural crops.
Before adding cereals, you need to clear the beds of weeds.
Next, the soil should be loosened.
After this, you need to scatter the barley groats over the area. It is desirable to ensure that the soil is covered with the product evenly.
Next, you need to cultivate the soil cover 5 cm deep using a rake or shovel.
The final procedure should be watering the beds.
Earlier, summer residents were told why they should plant gladioli next to garlic.
