Many experienced gardeners try to use natural ingredients on their plots.
Coniferous litter can be safely included among them.
Plant residues have many uses.
What options are worth paying attention to?
Mulching layer
Coniferous litter shows itself perfectly in this role, as it successfully copes with all the tasks of mulch. It will be necessary to lay a layer of no more than five centimeters.
By the way, this kind of mulch lasts a very long time.
Fertilizer
Coniferous litter is not used as a separate fertilizer, but it can be safely added to compost. But it is worth considering the fact that litter rots slowly in natural conditions.
Therefore, summer residents also introduce various compost "accelerators".
For covering plants
Coniferous litter copes with heat conservation, thanks to which many crops can successfully overwinter. You can simply sprinkle dry litter on plants, and "cover" them with a small amount of soil on top.
In this case, the crops will survive the winter perfectly.
