What to do if the soil for growing flowers becomes compacted

1. What to do if the soil is hardened

1. Change the soil in time: When raising flowers and plants, you must change the soil frequently. Generally, the soil needs to be changed every one or two years or every two or three years. The soil should be replaced with loose, breathable and fertile one, and the soil should be loosened frequently during management. This can prevent the soil from becoming compacted and enable the plants to better absorb water and nutrients.

2. Add microbial agents: When watering, the microbial agents in the soil will be washed away, and many microorganisms will flow out from the drain, and the soil will become hardened over time. Microbial agents should be added to the plants regularly, about once every three months, to avoid compaction.

3. Scientific fertilization: If inorganic salt fertilizers are frequently applied during management, the soil will become hardened over time. Pay attention to applying organic fertilizer, use less inorganic salts, and apply foliar fertilizer. This can avoid compaction and reduce damage to the soil.

2. How to prevent hardening

When preparing the soil for growing plants, you should mix an appropriate amount of coal slag, fermented sawdust or crushed charcoal, etc. into the soil. This can improve the air permeability of the soil and avoid compaction. If conditions permit, you can find some leaf mold and mix it in. Be sure to dry it before use to avoid insect eggs or bacteria in it. In addition, if you use tap water for watering, you should let it air in the sun for a day before using it to allow the chlorine contained in it to evaporate. This can also avoid compaction.
