Many summer cottage owners face a rather prosaic difficulty.
We are talking about high levels of soil moisture, especially around cesspools.
It turns out that there are plants that summer residents plant nearby and forget about this problem. There are different options. These can be trees, bushes or flowers.
For example, bird cherry is popular. It smells delicious in spring, and as a bonus, it improves the soil structure. The tree absorbs 150-200 liters of water per day.
Another option is oak. But here it should be taken into account that the roots of this tree are powerful. They are planted at a distance of about 20 m from the hole. Oak can draw up to 600 liters of water per day.
In addition to trees, you can plant a fern, hosta or garden spiderwort. An ideal option for a shady area. They require almost no care.
Some summer residents plant fruit bushes. For example, gooseberries or raspberries. But the latter likes to grow, so it is more troublesome.
Note
In addition to increased humidity, the smell is a pressing issue. Some summer residents fight it with the help of "old-fashioned" methods, using soda, tomato tops and a number of other similar methods.
Modern summer residents use biopreparations with beneficial microflora. It accelerates the fermentation processes occurring in the cesspool.
