In autumn, many gardeners and vegetable growers are busy digging up the soil in their country plots.
This gardening event is carried out to eliminate pests and weeds.
In addition, thanks to autumn digging, the soil becomes loose and light.
As a result, during the cold season the soil is well saturated with moisture, and after the arrival of spring it warms up well.
It would seem that the procedure has only advantages.
In fact, there were some downsides.
It turns out that if you dig up the soil incorrectly, very serious problems will arise.
How not to dig up the soil in autumn
In the autumn, the summer resident should not dig the soil too deeply.
The fact is that such an action can lead to the destruction of the top layer, which contains microorganisms that are beneficial to the soil.
Therefore, in autumn the soil only needs to be loosened superficially.
An exception can only be made for clay soils.
Another dangerous consequence of deep digging can be damage to tree roots.
This problem can become apparent if the gardener does not dig up the tree trunk circles correctly.
