Above you need to lay in the same amount of cow dung, cover with foil and leave for the winter. When doing spring work, fill in the humus.
Spring preparation of beds will require the introduction of mineral dressings .On the selected area loosen the soil, laid with rotted organic matter or compost. From above they are filled with nitrophoska in dry form and sifted with wood ash, then the turn of the soil layer begins. Finally, the bed is watered, covered with film and left in this form for 10 days.
