The main mistake in the fall that leads to a lack of harvest in the spring: actions that should be taken in the garden today

Autumn is a key time for gardeners, flower growers, and agronomists. When the main work in the garden is completed, it is also essential to prepare for the next season.

It is recommended to start tilling the soil immediately after or together with the harvest.

It is better not to postpone this stage, because disease-causing spores can develop on plant residues, which will negatively affect the soil. So first remove weeds, dry tops, and rotten fruits from the beds.

Next, loosen the soil to a depth of 3-4 centimeters, which is advisable to do before the onset of persistent cold.

In winter, it is essential to dig up the beds to reduce the risk of diseases and reduce the number of annual weeds. Digging is carried out to a depth of 15-20 cm, and the clods of earth are turned over. This will help reduce seed germination.

Timely application of fertilizers is no less critical. Autumn is the optimal time for this. You can add manure or compost to the soil, ensuring organic fertilizers are well-rotted. Adding nutrients in the fall will help them become available in the spring. In clay soil, this improves drainage, and in sandy soil, it retains moisture.

Using these recommendations, you can prepare your garden for the new campaign.

Finally, remember: do not rush to remove fallen leaves, as experts advise leaving them in place in the fall.

It is also worth noting that autumn feeding can lead to a significant increase in raspberry and strawberry yields next year.
