A plot with loamy soil often causes despondency in beginning gardeners.
However, many experienced gardeners know that with the right approach, such soil can become a real find for growing certain crops.
Loamy soils are ideal for growing cabbage. The high moisture capacity of the soil provides the plants with the necessary moisture, and the rich mineral composition contributes to the formation of large heads of cabbage.
Carrots, beets and radishes grow well on loams. The dense soil structure ensures the formation of even, well-colored root crops without defects and branches.
Loamy soil creates optimal conditions for potato development. The tubers are even, with a smooth surface, and the high mineral content improves their taste.
Peas, beans and legumes adapt well to loams. The developed root system of these plants contributes to the natural improvement of the soil structure.
Onions, garlic and leeks form strong bulbs in loamy soils. It is important to provide good drainage to avoid waterlogging.
Apple, pear and plum trees develop a powerful root system on loams. Dense soil provides good support for large trees.
Currants, gooseberries and raspberries grow successfully on loamy soils. High soil moisture capacity is especially important during the period of berry formation and ripening.
Lettuce, spinach and dill quickly form green mass due to the good moisture-holding capacity of loam.
Zucchini, pumpkins and cucumbers produce abundant harvests on loamy soils, provided there is good lighting and regular fertilizing.
Mint, lemon balm and basil thrive on loams. The rich mineral composition of the soil enhances the aromatic properties of plants.
