Your kitchen garden to you became small? Do you want more than the area for crops? Means, it is necessary to prepare kitchen garden for future landings now, in the summer. That the planted vegetables have brought a lot of harvest next year, prepare for them the prime quality land rich with various microelements, minerals and useful bacteria.
To make kitchen garden, it is possible to go in two ways: to dig up and fertilize, or at first to fertilize, and then to dig up. Of course, ways differ only in operations procedure, but it strongly influences time of preparation of the earth for landings and efforts which you should apply to preparation. Only the first ten centimeters of the earth are usually fertile that is deeper – poorly on microelements.
The first way is in digging up the marked space for kitchen garden, and then to fertilize various fertilizers. To start works remove all stones from surface, grub out stubs, dig out small trees and mow high grass. Then dig up. It is easier to make it the tractor or motor-cultivator, but shovel it will be useful for health and figure. After plowing it is necessary to introduce fertilizers. It can be the rerotting cow or bird's manure, compost, peat, the chernozem. If clay soil, then it should be added sand and sawdust on kitchen garden to make it softer, air. To acidic environment it is possible to add lime, and to alkaline – urea, sulfur, sulfate of iron or solution of manganese. During such processings in 2-3 years the earth will bring you good harvest.
The second way faster. Using it which is already inheriting year it is possible to receive the good and soft earth for landings. At the second way it is also necessary to grub out stubs and, whenever possible, to saw it on small pieces. To mow grass. – to leave everything that you have made on future kitchen garden. After that impose all marked area with cardboard or newspapers in 3-4 layers. On paper scatter any manure or compost. Water all this to condition of good humidity. If the summer is droughty, then water future kitchen garden in process of drying. The lack of light and the sun, abundance of heat and bacteria will destroy weeds, grass, will spread out the sawn stubs and small trees. The earth the next year will be soft, air and fertile. In the next spring you can safely plow new kitchen garden together with compost and cardboard (which will not be visible any more) and to put in it anything to you. This way will save to you forces and time, and the result will even be better, than in the first way.
If you have no manure or compost, then it is possible to cover future kitchen garden with black film. It can be got in any household shop. Thus, you will destroy weeds and grass. And it is very easy to make compost independently.
