4 silly mistakes during the mulching plants

Autumn is the time when it was in the garden and harvest the entire assembled and the work does not become smaller. It is necessary to dig the soil and, limp, and do not forget to hide those plants that will overwinter in other words spend mulching.

But even here, many gardeners and gardeners make some silly mistakes that can harm your plant. Now I will tell you about the 4 most important mistakes, so you know how to do, and as well as possible.

Why mulch plants?

First, let's see whether it needs something to shelter for the winter and for what. Everyone decides for yourself, but I will give a list of pros:

• It helps retain moisture in the soil longer;
• It protects the plant from the unrestrained growth of weeds;
• Mulch gradually rot and nourish the soil;
• Winter mulch to protect the roots of plants from frost;

The first mistake - do not loosen the soil before mulching

Before we cover the plant needed proryhlit soil, or can form a dense crust on the soil that is poorly breathable and prevents the growth of new plants. This is especially true of the spring and summer mulching.

The second - too much mulch

The Russian human generous soul, so when it starts to deal with mulching, it is often "piles" too much. As a result, the mulch begins to actively rot, leading to infection of the plant. Remember, everything has to be moderately and mulch layer should not be more than 4-6 cm.

Third - mulch contaminated material

This is a very common mistake made by gardeners. They do not consider that the material which they are covered with plants can be infected and this infection is necessarily transferred to the plant.

For example, my neighbor planted early maturing potato, and in July, dug it, and potato tops harbored tomatoes. Only he forgot that potatoes and tomatoes are common diseases (late blight, etc.), so it is done in any case impossible.

Fourth - the lack of mulching

Yes, yes, I also think this is a mistake, as only lazy gardeners do not mulch your plants and do not care about them. And then they wonder why they harvest less, even though they "did everything as it should be."
