I'll tell you the story of how gained experience, following bad advice. I was 32, I lived in a small village. Local villager recommended for rich harvest and weed control pests but use environmentally friendly ingredients: baking soda, table salt.
I listened, and tried to even see the result. Particularly active, I applied the coarse salt. After 4 years of care soil beginning to be ill. This is where the mind and added: I began to delve into, read, learn to lead a vegetable garden.
The result of the exercise: a drop - a drug in a spoon - poison. NaCl has a negative impact on the soil, depleting it. The substance decomposes during the oxidation and interaction with other components in solutions of hydrochloric acid and harmful insoluble salts. Effects:
- lack of vegetables nutrition;
- the salinity of the soil;
- a total decrease in fertility;
- prolonged recovery.
I was ripe to tell about their experiences and to protect others from the cave bugs. Remember, our great-grandmothers used salt, because there was no other fertilizers and treatments. Now just enough.
My fatal error
Sol against slugs. This is the first way to use salt, which I recommend. My site was in the valley, a lot of moisture, snails and slugs become uninvited guests in the beds of cabbage and salads. A layer of 1.5 cm, I was laying out coarse salt under the bushes in the groove between the rows.
It's betterspray ridge capsicum tincture solution or ammonia. Excellent acting mulching with sawdust.
Salt beet sweets. I dreamed of a rich red and big beet. On the advice Luba women with neighboring area watered bed of brine. Beet harvest pleased, I did not stop there. So after 4 seasons I ruined 4 different ridges. According to my observations beet it was sweeter, but spoiled the land that is not worth it.
Safe alternative: wood ash fertilizing solution, it is possible to just wake up in the furrows between the rows of root vegetables. Boric acid helps to add color and sweetness. Regular watering and good clean water.
Watering fruit trees. The idea is to shed and spray the tree or shrub with saline at a ratio of 1:10. The promises - sweet fruit, free of disease, disease and the destruction of the sheet crust. Reality - totally saline soil in the garden. Joy alone - completely lost any weeds.
Alternatives to mass. Including using permissible chemistry.
