How do I use mulch from autumn foliage under a bed. My experience

The beds in the fall, I mulch the leaves before winter for a few years. I'll tell you about their experiences.

My experience

The first time I zamulchirovat flower bed a few years ago, in the autumn, when planted before winter onions. Honestly, it was thought that the pen out of the leaf litter will not get out. But a bow went up, and the leaves did not become a hindrance to him. And besides, the weeds in the garden was not due to the mulch. The flower bed, I did not touch during the summer, but the pen itself breaks down. During this time, weeds and was not.

Fertilized solution ash and sal ammoniac (nitrogen source). In early August, the leaves cleaned, packed onions. Harvest, I was pleased. And this way of mulch I liked. In addition, leaves me enough in the garden grows a large maple tree, and he gives so much foliage that the entire area will suffice. If you have a shortage of leaves, you can go to the deciduous forest and collect there the foliage. Or ask the neighbors, who have a lot of "good". Foliage should be taken only healthy appearance.

Also in the fall, I stirred the soil with leaves and green-manures, when plow in October. Potatoes respond well to such a fertilizer in the spring.

How to zamulchirovat autumn seedbed for future landings

Mulching is necessary in 2 stages:

1. It is necessary to pour a small layer of mulch leaves on a bed of about 5 cm thick. And proryhlit little ploskorez.

2. Then it is necessary to pour another layer 5cm thick foliage (foliage better moisturize, so it will not scatter the kitchen garden).

Due to this two-step process for the foliage will not cake. It processed faster by soil bacteria and insects. You can pour the leaves drug "fitosporin" or "The Shining" (between the layers). Plus in the fact that under such infest beds earthworms that uluchshitstrukturu soil and increase fertility. Land will spring loose. This option is suitable for future plantings of cabbage, sprouts, squash, pumpkins, potatoes, cucumbers and peppers.

Under those beds where the spring to sow seeds, I do not put the leaves.

I wish you a rich harvest in the next year!
