Why plow in the fall? Fertilizing

I would like to have more likely to finish all the vegetable garden, garden work and breathe easy. Earth in the garden is plowed necessarily at the end of October. At the same time watch the weather forecast, and if the day promises to severe frosts, the day before work the soil cultivator.

Why plow in the fall?

Why at this time need to plow the land? Because in this period, insects have laid their larvae themselves crept into the ground. And believe me, they are there in abundance.

If you plow the soil in the fall before frost, then you get rid of a large number of pests, especially wireworms, which could get out the spring out of the ground. In addition, when plowing in the autumn in your garden will have less weeds. And this is also a big plus.

And you can plow and plow and cultivator, and even the shovel (but take deep).

What to make fertilizer

In August, after the harvest of potatoes, I sow a green manure (for green manure), is an additional source of nutrients for plants. My favorite green manure - is mustard and Phacelia. In late October, the green mass, which reached a height of 10-12 cm, mowed and dig together with the land. The main thing is not to give the green manure bloom.

Also, before plowing into the soil I'm doing scavengers 3-4 cups per 1 sq. meter (lime, chalk or dolomite flour). But it should be done every 3 years. Moreover, humus and crumbled bone meal (a source of phosphorus and calcium). Nitrogen fertilizers in the fall, I make no, and leave in the spring to the active growth of the green mass.

I wish you good harvests!
