If the acidity is increased, there can be no talk of a good harvest. Of course, it is also worth thinking about adding nutrients, they are also important for plant growth.
What to put in the holes during planting
As a rule, many people try to reduce the acidity of the soil by adding wood ash or slaked lime to it.

1. Diatomite.
2. Biohumus.
3. Ordinary feathers.
It is worth dwelling on feathers in more detail. You can even use those that are stuffed in the pillow.
Feathers not only reduce soil acidity, but also allow you to ultimately get an excellent harvest.
