Not all fertilizers are equally useful for the garden, especially when it comes to autumn feeding.
There are a number of fertilizers that you should avoid in the fall to avoid losing your harvest later.
Three Fertilizers You Should Avoid
Firstly, in the fall you cannot feed plants with nitrogen fertilizers, for example, urea and ammonium nitrate.
It's all about their effect: such feeding in autumn has a detrimental effect on the start of growth. It forces plants to intensively build up green mass, during which the immune system drops sharply.
It is also worth refraining from using manure. If applied in the fall, it contributes to the drying out of the soil, which can cause the death of beneficial microorganisms during the winter.
This is why it is recommended to add manure to the soil in the spring.
The third undesirable fertilizer is compost. Like manure, it causes the death of beneficial microorganisms and can also cause the soil to overheat, so it is also not recommended for use in the fall.
