Dampness is an unpleasant phenomenon that can ruin the harvest sent for storage.
And a microclimate is created that leads to the destruction of the structure and harms the health of everyone who regularly goes down into the cellar or basement.
If dampness appears, you need to find the source and eliminate it, and then take measures to prevent its reappearance.
There are plenty of preventive measures. You can use diatomaceous earth (earth).
It is poured into a bucket and simply placed in the cellar or several containers are used, which are distributed in the corners of the cellar. In this case, the moisture capacity of this product is useful.
Diatomite is used primarily as a source of silicon, but it can also be used to maintain an optimal microclimate in the cellar.
It will help reduce the humidity in the cellar and protect the harvest from adverse conditions.
In spring or summer, this diatomite can be scattered on the beds and worked into the soil. It is also sprinkled into the flower pots of indoor plants.
Note
Diatomite has no expiration date. It can be used all year round. Regular use improves the soil and significantly increases crop yields.
