According to experienced gardeners, you need to start preparing the soil for the new season in August..
It is not even necessary to add manure and other favorite folk additives. There is an easier way to restore the fertile soil layer – with the help of bone meal..
Bone meal
This natural additive contains phosphorus and calcium, without which it is difficult to collect a rich harvest.
At the same time, it improves the structure of the soil, making it loose, air- and moisture-permeable.
It should be applied now, because it is absorbed slowly, and the nutrients included in its composition are released gradually.
How to proceed
1. First, you need to weed, and then loosen the soil.
2. The fertilizer is applied in dry form at the rate of 100-200 grams per square meter.
3. After adding flour, it is buried to a depth of 5-10 cm using a rake.
4. Then watering is carried out, which will speed up the absorption of nutrients by the soil.
And bone meal can also be added together with compost or humus.
Summer residents claim that the fertilizer is superior in quality even to manure.
