What to do when flower pot soil becomes compacted? One trick solves a common gardening problem
Fellow gardening enthusiasts generally know that after we have been growing flowers for a period of time, the soil in the flower pot becomes relatively hard, which means soil compaction has occurred! And upon discovering this situation, many gardening friends choose to replace the soil, but today the editor will tell everyone a method that directly solves this problem! When flower pot soil becomes compacted, it only takes one trick to solve it directly!
When flower pot soil becomes compacted, the main problems arise from the following situations: 1. Using too much tap water when watering, because tap water has relatively high hardness, which makes the soil hard. 2. Not doing a good job with regular fertilizing work, using too much fertilizer, or using some nutrients that have not been fully fermented! These nutrients cannot be fully absorbed by the soil, which leads to soil compaction!
First, we can use a small shovel to loosen the soil on the surface of the flowers, then take some already sun-dried organic fertilizer, such as manure, crush it completely, and evenly sprinkle it on the surface of the soil. Of course, we also need to pay attention to the amount we sprinkle, do not sprinkle it too thickly, so that the flowers cannot handle it and their root systems get damaged!
After sprinkling the fertilizer, we also need to sprinkle a layer of water on the soil surface. After about one month, the fertilizer should be able to fully ferment. As the fertilizer slowly ferments, the soil, having received external heat and other conditions, will become loose. And as the soil loosens, the fully fermented fertilizer will slowly enter the bottom of the flower pot to nourish the flowers. So this method is really great, not only can it make the soil relatively loose, it can also let the flowers receive sufficient nutrients!
One aspect to note when using this method is that it cannot be used too much. Using it once to twice within a year is enough. Using it too much will damage the root systems of the flowers!
In addition, if you want your soil to not become compacted, we need to do a good job of prevention. For example: if you want to use rice water to water flowers each time, we need to wait until it has fully fermented. Then use it to water the flowers.
Actually, soil in the pot becoming compacted is not a difficult thing to solve. You only need to learn the editor's trick to directly help everyone easily solve the pot soil compaction situation! Fellow gardening friends, absolutely do not throw away your pot soil. Using the editor's method, this problem can be easily solved, and it can also incidentally make the flowers grow into a bursting pot!
