Many people know that at the moment the soil needs care and restoration.

In this case, we can expect a decent harvest next year.

What recovery methods are worth trying?

Compost

It can be added during digging, or you can simply lay a layer of a couple of dozen centimeters on the beds. Consider the fact that the compost must be ready.

Three to five liters of fertilizer are used per square meter. The same rules apply to humus: fertilizers have a similar effect and are applied in the same way.

Mulch

Not everyone knows that a properly selected mulch layer will help you restore the quality of the soil for the next year.

Acidity indices

At the end of the season, it is worth conducting a soil acidity test. This will help you improve its quality.

Depending on the results, it will be possible to bring the indicators back to normal.

The most commonly used methods are liming, adding dolomite flour or ash.
