Previously, the issue of digging up the garden was not relevant. Everyone took up shovels and dug up the entire garden in the fall. Other soil care options were not considered. Modern approaches have changed somewhat, so disputes arise between representatives of different eras.

To dig or not to dig

One of the modern trends in gardening and horticulture does not involve digging up the soil in the autumn period. Thought has the right to exist. But there are exceptions to all rules. And in this case, the same.

You can skip autumn digging if the area is covered with loose and light soil. All work can be postponed until spring.

If the soil on the site is dense and there is no question of its light structure, you cannot do without digging. Do this in dry and sunny weather, because wet soil is very difficult to perform such actions. You need to deepen the shovel by 20-25 cm, but if it turns out more, it will be even better. Turn the weed roots outwards. This is how it will be destroyed. In addition, it is recommended to sow siderates to improve the soil structure. This will simultaneously improve the soil and nourish it.
