What to sprinkle on snow at the dacha in winter

It turns out that ordinary wheat flour can act as a means of improving the condition of the soil.

Just sprinkle this product on the snow.

But don’t overdo it: there should be no more than two tablespoons of flour per square meter.

How does an unusual country remedy work?

As the snow melts, the flour will begin to “pass” into the soil.

As a result, the soil cover will be enriched with a considerable amount of microelements and nutrients.

And the bulk product will also loosen the soil.

In other words, the soil will become “light” and more fertile. Thus, the plot will be ready for spring planting.

Important recommendation: the “flour” life hack should first be used where you plan to plant root crops.
