A large and rich harvest is a blessing for gardeners and summer residents who have invested a lot of effort and patience in growing it. If you also want to increase its quantity, then you need to prepare the soil in the fall. Read more about this in the article.
Improving soil quality
Care for the plot should not stop after harvesting, but continue. In this case, the soil will be ready for spring work and will be able to give its maximum to new plants.
It is not good for growing when the soil acidity is high or low, the soil is too dense and has a high clay content. Do not forget that after the previous season the amount of nutrients is also reduced. Therefore, the task is to improve the quality of the soil and make it healthier.
Experienced gardeners recommend using slaked lime in the fall. It will help reduce acidity and significantly increase the content of phosphorus, calcium and magnesium. 1 g is required per 200 sq.m. Please note that the proportion can be doubled if the soil on the site is very acidic.
How to find out the acidity? One indicator is that you have horsetail growing. You can also purchase a special device for measuring. So, just one simple action with the introduction of slaked lime can significantly improve the fertility of the soil on your site.
