Real gardeners mentally conduct spring garden training. If there are bushes and trees in place, you should remove them.
Preparing a garden for planting plants - weed control
One of the main tasks of all gardeners is that they really have to fight weeds, because as they grow they literally extract all the juice from our plants. Unfortunately, the fight against them never stops. But you can ease your fate if you dig a garden in the spring.
Many people prefer to mark the beds first, and then prepare them for planting. This method makes life a little easier, since you don’t need to dig out extra ground for the tracks.
The creation of the garden occurs in several stages:
- Define the boundaries of the beds;
- Dig to the depth of the site, check how much soil is sown;
- Carefully loosen the ground;
- Mark the boundaries of the beds.
To organize the beds in your garden, you need to adjust the microclimate and get rid of weeds.
Climate control
Do not be lazy and do your best to prepare the garden. It should be in an open sunny place. Plants must be protected from the north winds. For this, a small fence can be installed on the north side.
Fertilizing the soil is a prerequisite. If you want the earth to feed you, feed it first.
Preparation of beds
With spring soil preparation, the first thing you need to do is remove the remnants of the garden from last year. Excess plants should be thrown away.
How to find out that the soil is ready for cultivation?
To understand whether the land is ready to prepare the spring channel, people have long been using the proven method. Take some earth in the palm of your hand and try to destroy it. The soil should be broken into small fragments.
If it is collected in one place, it means too early for processing. But if barely touching the earth falls apart, you are a little late.
Mineral fertilizers for the soil
During digging, add organic fertilizers only to where you plan to grow seedlings next year.
Designing the right flower beds
In the garden, such a solution will deprive many problems and open up new opportunities for the owner of the cottage:
- protection against soil erosion in the garden during heavy rains or watering plants. The sides of the beds will keep the soil in place, preventing it from being washed on the paths. In addition, the passages between the structures themselves will remain clean, without dirty puddles and drops;
- improving the appearance of the garden due to the neat and uniform plantings with beautiful borders;
- creating borders that inhibit the spread of weeds.
