Do not cover the ground with roofing material and foil: tell why
BTo increase soil fertility and to create favorable conditions for the growth of plants and fruit trees and bushes experienced gardeners use mulch - hay, straw, bark, sawdust, shavings, etc.
ABOUTdnako many admit a serious mistake, laying roofing felt or black plastic sheeting around planted trees, as shown in the photo:
The film is harmful to the earth and plants?
At firstIn hot sunny days, when the temperature crosses over 25 ° C, the top layer of soil under the foil or roofing felt dry. Because of this, live microorganisms go deep into the soil, there is a mineralization of humus and the land loses fertility.
Secondly, the film does not allow weeds to grow (that it seems to be good), but the dead weeds - a natural source of the power of your fruit trees!
My advice - choose natural mulch - hay, straw, bark, sawdust, shavings - which allocates at rotting in the ground nutrients, vitally necessary fruit.
