Cleaning victim backyard and garden

In autumn, the old-fashioned, gardeners and gardeners clean bursting from the earth everything that is not the bushes and trees. Dug up, sniffing the cold, inwardly praising himself for hard work.

Dig or not to dig

Though I write like that, all those who so diligently cleans the garden, I deeply respect. And I regret. Because it is often unnecessary and harmful labor.

Some sites, we also dug up. But do not fall, and when the beetle (larvae of the May beetle) feed. Actually, the goal: the removal of these larvae. In perchatochkah every take and remove, the neighbor's chickens give. Later, they go to the depth of winter.

Still virgin soil dug up, but again, do not fall, and spring. Normal zamulchirovat or covered with green-manures soil remains soft without digging through the work of soil microorganisms.

Rye in the spring it is necessary to dig, so she does not become malignant weed. That's all.

Let stick

Sticking residues of corn, dill, fennel, coriander, flowers, herbs, etc. I leave for snow retention. I gather the spring, leaving the root system to feed the micro-organisms.

Very simple logic. But cut the whole thing in the fall, there is no logic. Only the love of classical painting harvested garden makes people in the cold so be zealous. In the winter the compost all processes are slowed down, rush to feed the compost does not make sense.

There is also the logic of those who burn all plant residues. So fight disease. I have a way to remind people treated with antibiotics.

In fact, the healing comes with the help of immunity, and when the body can not cope, it is necessary to connect antibiotics. And imagine that there will be a theory drinking or stabbing antibiotics each fall to prevent disease.

That is similar to the theory of burn every autumn crop residues. Because the mechanisms of immunity are at each plant and the soil.

The struggle for immunity to be alive

To improve the immunity from early spring I use flora and landing vermicompost. I wrote about it here In the fall run natural mechanisms. In particular, by using green manure, planted before winter. No need to disturb them.

And what do you do with plant residues in the fall?
