Perfect beds: what to do with the land after harvest

If you thought that with the harvesting work in the garden ends, then I hasten to disappoint you: proper tillage is required for the gardeners-perfectionists! And for anyone who wants to grow in the next year a rich harvest.

1. Dig - no

I'm afraid that now I will break down stereotypes about what to do with the beds after harvest. For some reason, many gardeners gardeners, shovel ready, seek rather to dig everything and pick weeds. But agronomists different opinion on this score: the most that useful - slightly proryhlit ground.

Why? The fact that the land in the garden - almost a living organism. In it live bacteria and fungi, which are not harmful to the health of plants. Moreover, recycling organic matter, they make the soil fertile. If you are digging up the ground, turning the layers, the ruin many useful microscopic "helpers"!

2. Watering empty beds - meaning there

This rule is gradually coming out of the first. To beneficial microorganisms existed in the soil - they need moisture. Therefore, if after harvest drought established, it will be useful to pour it out of the hose. At least a little bit!

3. About weeds or green manure

Weed or weed, sow or sow... Many authors writing on agricultural topics, strongly advised to plant green manure, including mustard, so they suppress the growth of weeds. Rejecting the lyrics, there are 3 facts:

• green manure after decomposition in the soil allocate about the same amount of useful chemicals, and many weeds;
• Weed seeds can in theory go up in the spring (and green manure, if you do not mow their time).
• plus green manure - many of them repel pests (mustard, for example).
