Why do autumn digging in the soil

Supporters and followers of the national agronomist Nikolai Ivanovich Kurdyumova long abandoned the deep digging of the soil with an inversion of the earth formation. It is believed that this action sends useful, gumusoobrazuyuschie microorganisms so deeply that they're dying from lack of oxygen. Ground without microorganisms skudeet, dries and loses its beneficial properties.

Most experts do not recommend also dig the sandy soil and good loose, humus-rich loam. But here is clay soil, especially in areas with high ground water table, dug almost always because it can improve its air and water regime. In the spring it warms up faster and better.

On FORUMHOUSE you learn how to do a simple home test acidity and texture of the soil on the site.

Moreover, we tend to dig in the autumn of their beds to choose the rhizomes of weeds. This event allows you to get rid of most of the dandelion, couch grass and other perennials that all summer to spoil our country life. Bonus we win and annuals: on a well-dug soil much of their seed chilled and spring are no longer rise. Together with them winter die and a portion of pests and pathogens.

How and when do the autumn digging in the soil

Typically, the soil dug soon after the harvest, from mid-September to mid-October. In any case, this exercise must be done before the beginning of the rains, otherwise we will only aggravate the situation even further sealing the ground.

It is not recommended to dig too deep: on polshtyka shovel will suffice.

Correctly will not turn the pieces of excavated soil with a shovel, but just move them to another place, simultaneously selecting roots of plants.

Large pieces of land break also undesirable because they just will hold moisture in itself, when will commence the endless autumn rains, and will not allow the soil to swim and then condense.

After 10-14 days in the dug soil will be shoots, which we can easily remove. This technique also helps to significantly reduce the number of weeds.

That make the autumn digging

Under digging soil autumn make lime, ash and dolomite meal (for deoxidation), saw dust (to improve mechanical composition) and fertilizers (for improving fertility).

Ash, sawdust, dolomitka

If the soil in the area you are acidic, it is limp, spent lime, is best in autumn. In the spring the soil will have time to digest the lime made since the fall, so can be safely planted seedlings and sow seeds. If you know the make in the spring, it can burn the young roots and to prevent soil-forming bacteria to multiply.

Dolomite flour - deoxidizer better than lime.

Mariska (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

If in the area a lot of mother and stepmother, and horsetail, which indicates the high acidity of the soil. The soil should be deoxidize (dolomite flour, for example), but it is done in the autumn digging.

Participant of our portal was the owner of the clay, zakislonnogo site. Now it does not know the ground.

Owl(Participant FORUMHOUSE):

To make deoxidation ash soil (during the summer) or lime-Pushenko (fall). The use of ash and lime and improves the soil structure itself.

To improve the structure of the soil in the autumn digging well making sawdust. With the right approach sawdust will certainly be useful for the soil. But we should remember that, decaying, they pull out of the ground nitrogen. It is therefore recommended to make only rotted sawdust and shavings, treated with urea.

Chayka (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

For our lands dust - most affordable baking powder. You can, of course, still use the straw, for example, the husk of the seeds. But where is our take? Fields has long overgrown with weeds. So do not burn their sawdust and do not throw away, and lay in the compost with the addition of mineral fertilizers and lime, of course, mixed with other waste. Compost is gorgeous!

Does the fall of manure

The advantage of the fall fertilizer application in the fact that for the new gardening season they will have time to split, mixed with the soil.

Many gardeners make the autumn digging rotted manure, but experts do not recommend to do this, in the extreme case can be made extremely small portions. Nitrogen wintering perennials is not needed, it only hurt them.

However, it is not necessary to refuse from it.

Helga (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Liquid fertilizers are nothing compared with rotted manure do not go. They just siyusekundno feed plants, and manure improves soil or mulch.

Every few years, the soil should be carefully muckBut better to do it in the spring.

Magol (Member FORUMHOUSE):

If you wish to receive eight hundred harvest "all 20 buckets": tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, currants, strawberries, gooseberries and raspberries, then without a car manure just can not do in two years. In the first year dump any manure and manure pile forming, scientifically - high flower bed, pour the top layer of soil thickness of 10-15 cm and plant cucumber, squash, pumpkin. The following year, loose black earth of the beds are making as a fertilizer.

This system is widely used at home Magola - Urals, the Moscow region and he repeated it collects huge harvests.

Autumn fertilizer

Autumn fertilizers are those that contain phosphorus and potassium. They help the plants to move very cold, and the new season will promote root growth and plant vegetation.

Usually fertilizers simply throw the kitchen garden or the garden, and then dug up.

For acid soils in the autumn digging well suited triple superphosphate (double and will be cheaper, if you count on a percentage of the content). Under the fruit trees and berry bushes on the perimeter of the crown make sure phosphorus, and also it is made under the strawberries.

Zylfiya50 (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

If the area is not sandy loam, half the phosphorus standards for potatoes and vegetables also contribute to the fall.
