Site preparation for planting
Cultivation of the garden and the garden should begin with preliminary preparation of the soil. Initially, work is being done to eradicate the rhizomes of perennial weeds, uprooting stumps. Then uneven areas are leveled and proceed to direct tillage.
There are several methods of cultivation depending on the type of soil. Digging the soil is the main operation in the preparation process. Dig the soil every year in spring or autumn. Autumn digging is considered more effective, because clods of earth are devastating by frost, wind, snow and rain.
Digging is divided into types: simple and two-tier. Simple digging, or single-tier, is used for most soils with a deep fertile layer. Digging takes place to the depth of the bayonet shovel. The ground from the first furrow is poured on the opposite side of the site.
When digging, the earth is turned over, which allows you to get rid of annual weeds, the roots of perennials are removed. If manure is brought in during digging, it is laid on the bottom of the furrow and mixed with the ground. The last furrow is filled with earth from the first.
Two-tier digging, or pseudoplanting, is characteristic of virgin lands and with a solid subsoil. With two-tier digging, the soil is processed on two bayonet shovels. The bottom of the furrow is loosened with a pitchfork, then it is filled with earth, weeds are removed. The site should be dug up at least 50 cm in depth.
When processing the soil, plantation is also used. It is considered the most time-consuming species and is used for soils with a deep occurrence of the subsoil. The soil is processed in three bayonet shovels to a depth of 75 cm. The site is divided into two parts and first passes one side, and then the other in the opposite direction.
