How fertile the crop will depend on the fertility of the soil. You can improve it yourself if you know how. In this case, proven folk tips and advice will help you.
Instruction manual
1
Only begin to improve the soil after the earth has dried well. Wet soil is difficult to process and mix with soil. In addition, the soil is compacted at the slightest manipulation, which disrupts the natural circulation of air and water in it. Thus, improving wet soil can lead to the opposite result.
2
Before you begin to improve the soil, determine what type of soil it is: compacted, oversaturated, marshy, heavy or sandy. It will depend on what means you need to improve the characteristics of the soil: lime, manure, peat, sand, compost or other compounds.
3
The bed on which you plan to improve the soil, loosen and aerate with a pitchfork. Be careful. Loosen the ground, not approaching close to the stands and not sinking deeper than 7-10 cm into the ground. This will not damage the roots of the plants.
4
Then, with your hand, distribute the necessary means for improving the soil condition over the loosened soil. Sprinkle them evenly over the bed, being careful not to spray on the plants.
5
Mix the topsoil using a rake. After that, water the beds abundantly.
6
Use compost to improve the soil. This tool is universal. It perfectly improves the characteristics of any soil and copes with the task of revitalizing the microflora of the earth.
7
If you decide to use sand as a means to improve the soil, remember, it makes soil mixes easier. It is also great for loamy and clay soil, contributing to the permeability of the earth.
8
One of the inexpensive and simple means of improving the soil is peat. It increases water permeability. Suitable for any type of soil, playing the role of a loosening agent.
Useful advice
Remember that the soil under long-term planting also needs additional nutrient intake and increased fertility.
