These fertilizers should absolutely not be added to the soil before winter: you will ruin the plants.
Autumn is the time when work in the garden gradually comes to an end.
All that remains is to dig up the area before winter and add nutrients, which will be a great help for plants in the spring.
However, it is important to know what kind of fertilizers the garden needs and which ones can harm it in the run-up to winter.
What fertilizers should not be applied in autumn
Let us remember that nitrogen is responsible for the intensive growth of green mass in plants.
Therefore, if this element is added to the soil before the onset of cold weather, trees and shrubs may begin to grow, as a result of which they may freeze when the first frosts come.
In this regard, it is strictly not recommended to add superphosphate and urea to the soil.
But organic fertilizers will be an excellent help for overwintering plants. Such substances that can be added to the soil in September include bone and dolomite flour, as well as compost.
The listed organic matter decomposes for quite a long time and will become a nutrient medium for plant development in the spring.
