Why fertilize with black soil?

Now with the winter, some rains have come, many of them very heavy and in some cases, have caused some plants to flood. That is what happened to some pear plants we have at home, and as we know, too much water for them is simply very bad.

For example, here you can see how the water was able to cover at least 10 cm above the root. On the one hand, there was an aspect that was not considered at the time of planting, and it was simply that, that there is an unevenness and, well, the water gets trapped there.

So a useful suggestion is that. Check the soil level, otherwise it makes it difficult for the plant to grow normally.

The solution?

There are 2 ways to fix this problem. One of them is to try to get the water out with some particular container.

It can be useful depending on how much water is stagnant, but on the other hand, as in our case, there was a considerable amount, and so the other option was more feasible.

We placed black soil, rich in organic fertilizers.

Although it can also be other soil, the important thing is to drain as quickly as possible.

Why is black soil better? It depends on who distributes it, black soil brings many resources to the place where it is going to be used. Some of them have liquid earthworm humus, which makes the plants can bloom better and have a more productive development.

On the other hand, it retains a little more humidity, in case of summer, it is a friend so that the water is maintained and can nourish a little more our plant.

Here is a closer look at this rich soil.

Then I located a shovel and a cart, loaded it with black soil, and began to treat all the plants.

Entonces ubiqué una pala y una carreta, cargué de tierra negra, y comencé a tratar a todas plantas.

For example, this is what a plant looked like that had filled with water around it.

In view of the fact that the soil where it is is red, and it is very sticky, it is not very good in itself. So letting the water dry out right there, can also cause the root to rot, as has already happened, and then automatically kill our plant.

Then, after a few shovelfuls at the foot of the plant, so it remained.

Almost instantly drained the water that was, and dried the surface, and in addition to that, it will greatly contribute to the development of the plant and the fruits respectively.

In order to avoid future damage, I covered the whole area with soil, and I also placed a little in the form of a pyramid, although care must be taken not to cover the stem too much, as it could get sick with some fungus.

But this form will allow that in the next rains, the water will not stagnate, but will spill to the side of the plant, and will not stay there.

What are the results?

Here is the first Creole pear. It looks like a guava, but no, it is a pear.

It is impressive the progress it had with the soil, because, the size it has is much smaller, but it is already giving fruits, and the truth is that it looks good and healthy.

So don't forget to take care of your plants friends.

A hug from a distance.
