Plants planted in harsh and too densely packed or sandy soil after a while begin to grow poorly, are less likely to flourish and attacked by diseases and pests.
We would like to soil in our garden
1 was like the best. Ideal soil is airy, moist and abundant in plants readily available to the minerals. It is also full of beneficial microorganisms that accelerate the decomposition of organic residues and their replacement in dental caries.
Acidic or alkaline
Improving soil in the garden, begin by examining the pH, or pH. The result can range from 3.5 (very acidic soil - peat) to 8.0 (alkaline soil - limestone).
Soil pH measured very easy to use chemical field (in the sale are also electronic). We examine the ground in several areas of the garden. Grab sample of soil from a depth of 15-20 cm. Put it to the tube or the ceramic plate and mix with the accompanying chemical reagent. After a few minutes comparing the color of the solution with the colors on the scale index and read pH value and a dose of calcium oxide to be added to the soil to obtain optimal for plant reaction - pH 6.5.
