La nostra stagione dell'orto sta volgendo al termine , cosa posso fare per prepararmi al prossimo anno? - SE
It's always a sad day when we have to admit that we've finished this year, but there are things you can do to make it even better next year. Let's talk about some of them.
First, while your 2022 garden experience is still fresh in your mind, write down what you planted and where. I think you noticed that during the growing season some strains did well while others seemed to struggle. Write it down. At this point in the year, it's easy to say, "I will remember," but then the next year comes and it doesn't. So just write it down.
You can also make a quick sketch of your garden and mark where you plan to plant your vegetables. Crop rotation is a great way to reduce the amount of disease in your garden. Planting the same plant in the same place every year makes it easier for diseases to spread in that place. You can reduce this possibility by rotating the crop at least once every three years.

To successfully rotate your crops, you need to spend some time learning about the garden plant family, because it's easy to think that it's best to grow potatoes one season and tomatoes the other, but potatoes and tomatoes belong to the same plant family. And plants of the same family are susceptible to the same disease.
Here is a brief overview of the plant family:
Nightshade or nightshade family: Tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, potatoes.
Legumes or the legume family: peas, green peas, green beans, black peas, peanuts
Carob or squash family: cucumber, melon, watermelon, winter squash, zucchini, zucchini, loofah.
Malvaceae or Mallow family - okra, cotton, hibiscus
Alliaceae or onion family - onion, garlic, leek, leek
Poaceae or plant family: corn, rice, wheat, beans, sugarcane.
Compositae or Aster family: lettuce, artichoke, sunflower.
Family Brassicaceae or mustard - broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, cabbage, mustard, radish.
Chenopodiaceae or crow's feet family: beets, radishes, spinach.
Apiaceae or parsley family - carrot, parsley, coriander, fennel, celery
So let's talk about cover crops. Ground covers are an interesting topic, but in short, ground covers are plants that are usually grown in the off-season and add nutrients and organic matter to the soil. Cover crops are sometimes referred to as "green manure" because they add nutrients in the same way that manure does, but are "green" plants.
The use of cover crops can benefit your garden in many ways, such as: B. by reducing soil erosion, reducing runoff, reducing evaporation, controlling pests, improving soil quality, and increasing soil fertility. Because some of these benefits are similar to using mulch, ground covers are sometimes referred to as "living mulch". Good choices for cover crops are clover, beans, peas, annual ryegrass, oats, winter wheat, winter rye, or buckwheat. Seeds from these batches are available at your local farm store.
Basically, you plant one of these plants in your garden now that the season is nearly over, and then until your vegetables are in the ground before planting in the spring. So how do pads help your floor?
Plants such as peas, chickpeas and clover grow with bacteria living in the soil. These cooperative bacteria live in root nodules. Essentially, plants take nitrogen from the surrounding air and convert it into a form that plants can use by storing that nitrogen in their roots.
In the spring, when you cover the plant with soil, the nitrogen is released back into the soil. So when you plant spring vegetables, nitrogen will be available for your new crop. While this won't meet your plant's full nitrogen needs, it won't help or harm the organic matter you're putting back into the soil.
Last but not least, don't forget about your gear. Properly maintained devices are not only more powerful, but also more durable. All you can do is clean up your gardening tools. This is a shovel, spade, shovel or rake, etc. I believe this tool has picked up some dirt. So start bullshitting. You can do this with water and maybe use a stiff brush. Dry thoroughly after removing dirt to prevent rust. Depending on the tool, it is desirable to sharpen it.
You can fix this with something as simple as a file. A few carefully placed files can restore the edges of your tool, improve its performance and reduce the effort required to get the job done every day. This is especially true for shovels and shovels. Put some lubricant on them after sharpening, clean them up, and your tools will be ready to work in the spring garden. See you in the park!
