It is better to prepare the soil in the garden in the fall so that by spring it is ready to produce a new delicious harvest.
This also applies to the area where the potatoes grew. There is no need to rush immediately after harvesting. The soil needs to "rest" a little.
Work can begin in the second half of September. What can be done during this period so that the soil is even more fertile in the spring than it was a year ago?
There are plenty of options. You can tinker with manure or green manure, or you can use less energy-intensive means.
If you have a compost heap at your dacha, then in combination with wood ash this will be a powerful tool for restoring soil fertility.
For one “square” add 6-7 kg of compost and a glass of ash. This is an ideal option for acidic loamy and clayey areas.
Then all that remains is to dig or plow. The land is ready for winter.
If there is no compost, then there is a simpler option for this case. Use double superphosphate and potassium sulfate. Add 1 tbsp of each product per 1 sq. m.
Note
If the soil in the area is acidic, it is better not to use cow manure as fertilizer.
