How to improve clay into soil for growing vegetables (how to improve the soil quality of the vegetable garden to grow vegetables)

Regarding how clay improves vegetable growing, I will answer from the following points.

1. Characteristics of Clay

The clay content in clay is relatively high, generally greater than 80%, with relatively little sand content, high viscosity, few gaps between the soil, and poor natural air and water permeability, which is not conducive to the growth needs of crops. In addition, when the clay is short of water, the soil will become very dry and hard, and finally form lumps.

2. How to improve bad soil for growing vegetables

①Mix loose medium into the soil

For example, river sand, wood chips, rice husks, etc., crop straw organic fertilizer, as well as chicken manure, sheep manure and cow dung high-quality organic fertilizer, can also be applied with high content of microbial agents.

② Reduce the amount of fertilizer applied

Reasonable fertilization formula is applied in combination with crop yield and soil fertility, which not only controls the amount of blind fertilizer application, but also reduces unreasonable input, thereby increasing economic benefits.

③You can add decomposed pine needles

Composted pine needles are a good organic fertilizer, especially because they contain more lignin and cellulose. They can increase soil permeability and release some nutrients such as amino acids and organic acids.

④ Leaf mold can be added

The decomposed tree leaves are organic matter formed by gradually decomposing after a long period of accumulation in a dark and humid environment.

It can be found on the surface of groves. Leaf humus is rich in organic acids and a small amount of vitamins, growth hormones, etc. It can promote the growth and development of plants and improve the viscosity of clay.

⑤You can add crushed egg shells

Eggshells contain a lot of calcium, as well as a small amount of phosphorus and other trace elements needed for plant growth.

After the eggshells have been exposed to the scorching sun, they are ground into powder with tools and buried in the soil. Burying them once a month can help the flowers grow rapidly and extend their flowering period.

⑥ Crushed bone residue can be added

Do not throw away leftover chicken and duck bones and thin ribs. Wash them with clean water first, then soak them in water for a few hours to remove the salt.

Put it in a pressure cooker and add water to press for about half an hour, smash it with a hammer, and then expose it to the sun. It can be used to grow flowers after a week. It can be mixed into clay to improve the soil quality and increase soil nutrients, so that flowers can grow quickly.
