Spring is the time for sowing the crop. However, many make some mistakes when planting, which can harm the future harvest.
By avoiding these mistakes, you will get healthy soil and plants. Today we will talk about 3 main mistakes in gardening.
1. Treating too wet soil
The quality of plants directly depends on the soil. When it is too loose, without lumps, it passes oxygen well to the roots of plants. With high humidity, the earth is denser and young seedlings and seedlings may die due to lack of oxygen.
The soil after winter with a lot of moisture needs to be dug up to saturate with oxygen. Or wait until the moment when the moisture level is optimal.
2. Too early planting of seedlings
Seeds, seedlings need to be planted at the right time. If planted too early, low temperatures at night can harm them. Just one night of frost is enough to destroy plant roots.
Due to low temperatures, the roots rot, and the plant itself quickly dries out and dies without receiving nutrients from the soil.
3. Wait for the soil to warm up
Tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, peppers, beans, peas should be planted in warm soil. Too cold soil stops or slows down plant growth.
To check this parameter, you can use a special thermometer that will show the temperature. Soil temperature should be between 70-75° Fahrenheit.
Remember that temperature fluctuations often occur in spring. To make sure the soil is warm, the same degrees should be kept for 1-2 weeks.
By following these recommendations, you will significantly increase the likelihood of a good harvest in the fall.
