Only at first glance, even in one section of the field, the soil in different places is no different. Gardeners who share this opinion will have a hard time planting plants.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of types of metals and acids that can significantly affect the structure of the soil.
A qualified agronomist and landscape designer , Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, will help us study this question.
Soil type
It is not at all necessary to study entire sections of textbooks and encyclopedias on biology and botany for this, but it is necessary to know the bass principles.
The most important requirement for all soils without exception is that they be soft, loose and friable.
Under such germination conditions, plants will receive all the necessary substances, including an abundant amount of moisture.
Soil preparation
It just so happens that the most fertile soil is obtained by mixing it with other substances.
It is usually wise to mix peat, turf and river or field sand. There are different combinations. The optimal mixture can be obtained experimentally.
The most important thing is not to use rotted peat and depleted soil from the garden, then you can’t even dream of a good harvest.
Addition of leavening agents
No matter how good the soil is, over time, under the influence of moisture, it will become denser and denser.
In this case, air access to the root system will deteriorate, and the plants will have to be replanted or changes will have to be made to the design of the beds.
Application of special mixtures
Usually, humus or rotted leaves, which we all understand, are perfect for this purpose.
By following all the recommendations, you will significantly increase your chances of a good harvest, but always check the characteristics of the plant crops to select the right mixture.
