How to prepare organic soil suitable for plant and flower growth and grow a healthy vegetable garden

The maintenance of plants should not only have a suitable environment, appropriate watering and temperature, but also match them with suitable soil, the acidity and basicity of the soil should also promote plant growth, and have appropriate fertility to promote flowering and fruit. beginners will directly dig some garden soil to cultivate plants, which can easily cause soil caking and affect the growth of flowers.

Before you grow flowers and plants in the yard, it is best to test the acidity and basicity of the soil, or directly buy some soil suitable for plant growth. If you do not want to test the acidity and basicity of the soil, you can directly mix some loose and fertile compost soil, properly add some garden soil and sand, you can cultivate a variety of flowers and plants.

If the plant has yellow leaves, very thin branches and leaves, or few flowers, it is likely that the soil is not suitable for plant growth, it may be that the soil is too barren, or the acidity and alkalinity are not suitable.

First talk about the acidity and basicity of the soil, most plants like slightly acidic soil, or neutral soil, very few plants like alkaline soil, some plants are just saline-alkali-tolerant, but grow better in neutral soil.

The soil in the yard usually needs to be tested every two years, which can be tested directly with pH test paper, and there are also special tools for testing soil acidity and basicity. The best time to test soil acidity and basicity is in autumn, so there is enough time to adjust the acidity and basicity of the soil.

The simplest and most practical method is to use pH test paper, their price is very cheap, a few yuan can buy a large box, the test method is also very simple, you can collect some soil, mix them with water, you can put the test paper into the solution, wait five minutes to see the test results. Different testing instruments will affect the effect of the test. Personally, I like to test the acidity and basicity of the soil by myself. Gardening shops also have special testing equipment to remove stains from plugs every time I use it.

In addition, to understand whether the soil is clay or sandy soil, after washing well-drained plants, we need to cultivate with sandy soil. If we need soil with certain water retention capacity, we need soil cultivation with certain waterproof capacity.

Most plants can grow well in pH between 6.0and 6.5. of course, it is necessary to avoid excessive acidity of the soil. Soil pH is less than 7.0. adding limestone or lime to the soil can neutralize acidity, and can also be mixed with plant ash to increase acidity. Plant ash also has the effect of sterilization and disinfection, which is also a good choice.

However, the soil of most friends is alkaline, especially in the north, where Rain Water is less and the pH value of the soil is higher than 7.0. ammonia urea sulfate and ammonia nitrate can be added to reduce the pH of the soil.

These acid fertilizers are rarely used in ordinary flowers, and we generally use compost soil, peat soil or ferrous sulfate to reduce the acidity of the soil and promote the soil to be slightly acidic.

The pH of the improved soil needs to be measured again after a month or two to determine whether the soil can promote plant growth.

When planting plants, we generally recommend pile-up soil, organic soil or peat soil, which are used to promote the growth of plants to add fertilizer in the soil, the most commonly used is compound fertilizer, and they can also be added to the soil. The most commonly used is compound fertilizer, which contains compound fertilizers with different elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and the contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium will be different. There will be something in the bag that marks the proportion of their ingredients, such as the usual 5:5:5 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10,

However, I still recommend the use of organic fertilizers, which can promote the growth of plants and do little harm, and they are also good for improving the structure of the soil. Just planted and just transplanted plants, do not fertilize immediately, when the temperature is too high or too low, also avoid fertilization, otherwise it is easy to burn plants.

Usually, fertilization is usually given to a compound fertilizer with a nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium ratio of 10:10:10, which is safer. If you want to promote flowering, give some fertilizers with higher content of water chestnut fertilizer, and if you promote the growth of branches and leaves, you should give compound fertilizers with higher nitrogen content.

When fertilizing, we must pay attention to the amount, too much fertilizer concentration will burn plants, the frequency of fertilization can not be too high.

When fertilizing, it is best to dig some holes around the plant, and then bury the fertilizer, do not let the fertilizer directly touch the root system of the plant, otherwise it will burn the plant.

For beginners, it is best to use compost soil to improve soil fertility and mix appropriate peat soil or compost soil, which can improve soil acidity and alkalinity, promote plant growth, increase soil fertility and promote flowering and fruiting.

When the temperature is too low in winter, it is necessary to cover the plants with a layer of compost or peat soil, which can maintain moisture and warmth, and inhibit the growth of weeds. of course, it can also be replaced by other mulches, such as the chopped bark of all kinds of hay.
