For heavy bumps and heavy soils, digging makes sense
Does digging make sense in the overgrown garden?
Nature spreads rapidly as soon as man withdraws. To freshen up the overgrown garden, a first inventory is important. It provides clues as to whether digging up makes sense or whether an alternative is an option.
inventory
Before digging up a garden you should get an overview. In overgrown gardens treasures often come to light, which would destroy you by the radical measures. Watch the garden for at least a year. This will give you an insight into what's growing in your garden and what types of soil prevail.
Already existing beds with onion plants do not need to be dug up. Here are enough measures that bring the bed back into shape. Wild herbs such as sorrel, stinging nettle or lady's mantle spread in unused gardens, where they serve biodiversity and provide a further benefit to humans as a vegetable.
Balance the digging
Digging the garden is an option for heavy unevenness in the ground. Heavy undergrounds can hardly be used unless they have been thoroughly dug up and loosened up. For light soils it is sufficient to loosen the substrate with a sow tooth. Conversions are associated with a disruption of the soil structure. The soil needs time after such massive intervention until it has regenerated.
If digging is necessary, you should pay attention to the weather conditions. Autumn is not always ideal for this measure. Even in spring, the shift is possible if the growing season has not yet begun.
Then you should dig up the garden:
Do not dig up beds
Mulch the area neatly after the mowing that will later become a bed. In the overgrown garden, large amounts of grass are produced, which are perfect uncut as a mulch layer. The longer the grass, the better. The shift will collapse significantly over the next six months.
Check the condition of the lawn underneath and add an extra layer of mulch to the surface if the grass underneath is not rotted. The material decomposes only slowly and provides an ideal protective layer for the floor. It keeps the substrate moist and warm so that the soil organisms can convert the biomass into compost.
