The importance of fertilizing the soil

Flowers

In nature, as dry leaves fall, the plants that have grown older also die, as well as the organic waste of animals and insects, the earth becomes richer. So the next generation can grow by having at their disposal all the nutrients you need.

But this in a garden, and more so in a small garden, is something that happens, but on a smaller scale. And this assumes that the earth don't be so rich as it should be. That is why it is recommended pay, using natural products (or compost) to prevent our plants from having any mineral deficiency.

Plants that enrich the soil

Broccoli

Did you know that there are plants that can serve as fertilizer for the soil? Many of them we plant in the garden, like the broccoli, green peas or rye. All of them help to fix nitrogen to the earth. All these plants, once decomposed, can be mixed with compost or mixed directly with the soil. They will serve as an excellent fertilizer, and will contribute to an optimal development and growth of our plants. It can be paid once a year, just after the frosts have passed.

The only thing to do is to let them complete their life cycle, that is to say: that they germinate, grow, flourish, give seeds and dry out. Once the cycle is finished, they are collected.

Rye

There is nothing like using vegetable waste to compost, because we help to give it a »new life»To these plants, to enrich the soil and to create or maintain the biodiversity of the garden without damaging it at all.

In addition, with this natural fertilizer there is no risk that we fertilize too much or that the plants have problems because of it. Rather the opposite, the garden will feed only what you need, and will leave the rest for when the time comes.
