Top of root crops
The tops of root crops are an excellent fertilizer that will help improve the condition of the soil. It is enough to collect root crops and leave the tops on the site, digging it up later. The tops contain a large amount of nutrients.
And the main advantage is that it quickly rots in the soil.
What to do with the tops of tomatoes and potatoes
Tomato and potato tops are the basis of useful minerals and components. However, when adding them to the soil, you should remember the specifics of the cultures.
Tomatoes and potatoes can be called capricious crops. They can be prone to dangerous fungal diseases.
Therefore, it is important to carefully examine the tops and, before using them as fertilizer, make sure that there are no signs of disease.
Siderates
Adherence to crop rotation is an important condition for a good harvest. However, if the plot is small, not all summer residents have the opportunity to constantly change the place of planting. And here you can go for a trick, planting siderata in autumn.
They will saturate the soil with useful trace elements, improve its structure and help achieve the correct crop rotation. In the fall, siderats must be dug up. In this case, the roots of the plants will give a tangible benefit to the site.
The best ciders for autumn planting:
- Rye.
- Oat.
- Peas.
- Turnip.
- Phacelia.
- Mustard.
Also, thanks to siderates, it will be possible to get rid of part of the weeds on the site.
Sanitary plants
In any area, you can find plants that perform several functions. A simple example: marigolds have a specific smell because they contain a high content of essential oils.
Marigolds repel:
- caterpillars;
- small worms;
- wireworm and other pests.
Marigolds also have fungicidal properties. Of course, the effect of fungal infections can be called preventive.
We can mention a few more nurses:
- Mustard.
- Linen.
- Chrysanthemums.
If we talk about mustard with burkun, then they perform the role of phytosanitizers. Many plants can be used on the site, so it is worth knowing their main properties.
