Gardeners are offered many options to choose from, allowing you to restore the fertile soil layer after harvesting..
These can be mineral or organic fertilizers, sowing green manure or using folk recipes..
Here’s what summer residents are offered to use instead of manure and compost.
Life hacks with straw
According to experienced gardeners, you can fertilize the beds with straw.
It is supposed to replace manure, compost and green manure sowing with subsequent burying of seedlings in the soil.
The developers of the concept themselves refer to the conclusions of biologists, who in turn call straw the best means for soil restoration.
In the soil, straw has a positive effect on the microorganisms living in it, which contributes to the formation of the necessary vermicompost in the fertile layer.
Moreover, the effect of adding straw to the soil is long-term and will be felt for five years.
How to proceed
For convenience, the straw should be chopped, then evenly distributed over the beds and left for several days.
Along with the straw, do not forget to add urea, gardeners say, and then the harvest in the new season will be unprecedented.
However, experts warn that in most cases, folk methods do not fully compensate for the lack of nutrients.
