So, in this article I will talk about those plants that ridging is great harm, since most of them may well do without it.
Onion and garlic - culture, which can safely grow without hilling. The thing is that they love the sun and the earth, sketched during the hilling plants in the head, will prevent access to them to sunlight.
As a result, the onion and garlic slow its growth, fade and become like "lifeless cloth." The only thing I would advise all the same to pay a little bit of time and garden beds "Wrap" them with mulch
- so to increase the fertility of the soil and roots of plants to be protected.Parsley, dill, lettuce, lemon balm and other herbs, you should not spud. After that comes a high probability that the plants stop growing, zagniyut and will soon simply be lost. Better to replace hilling on mulching and easy loosening the soil, in order to free up beds from intrusive weeds.
