A rich harvest at the dacha is not a matter of chance, but the hard work of the gardener.
Now is the time to think about adding fertilizers. Here you can’t do without organic or mineral additives that will restore fertility and improve its structure.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told us what fertilizers need to be applied in November.
Organic materials
1. The most popular is manure. In this case, approximately 6 kilos will have to be added per square meter.
In the spring, all that remains is to dig up or plow. The result is loose and nutritious soil for your seedlings.
2. Peat, humus or compost, as well as chicken manure are in demand among the population.
All these additives are also suitable for application to the soil in the fall.
Mineral supplements
The range is wider and this month you can safely include:
- ammonium sulfate, potassium or ammonium sodium;
- ammonium chloride or potassium chloride;
- superphosphate.
In this case, it is important to take into account that the listed additives can increase the acidity of the soil, so at the same time you can add additives that maintain the optimal pH level.
For reference
Fertilizers are substances for plant nutrition and increasing soil fertility, containing one or more chemical components necessary for the normal growth and development of plants.
