How to develop a plot

Start development of a site with the rooting out unnecessary trees. Not all of them should be removed, with or without trees, land will immediately become "naked" and will cease to like you. It is believed that deciduous trees produce too much garbage, we have every spring, raking in large piles of leaves and burn them. On the other hand, fallen leaves can be a good raw material for compost heaps and subsequently as a valuable fertilizer. Another tip about trees: in the bark of pine trees to overwinter beneficial insects, whereas in the spruce bark – harmful. It is also worth considering when you make the final decision about rooting out.

Order deep plowing of the site until it has no plants and buildings. The tractor will do the job for a few hours, while the man, armed with a shovel, you will need months of hard physical labor. If the cultivator had just harrowed the soil, you will need to manually remove the weeds. It is especially important to destroy all the roots of perennial plants: goutweed, nettles, sow Thistle, etc. There are cultivators who not only plowed ground, but ground and mulch the weeds. In this case, manual work is not required.

Determine whether your soil liming. There are very few vegetable crops, growing well in acidic soils, most vegetables and berries gives good yields if the pH of the plot is close to neutral. Lime is necessary to make since autumn, not combining with organic amendment.

Mark future patch. Ideally, they should go from West to East, if this is not possible, lay them from North to South. In the presence of the slope the garden a better place through it. At high groundwater tables, raise the beds above the level of the plot, making the curb with a height of 25-35 cm. best are beds with a width of 0.5 m and a length of 4 m. On heavy clay soils provide an additional drainage system. Its also best to do at the stage of development of the plot, that is, before plant trees and vegetable crops.
