ПЕРЕКОПКА убивает землю. Агроном объясняет, почему это катастрофа

Nikolai Gonchar, an agronomist with 45 years of experience, debunks the biggest myth of gardening: annual digging with soil turnover. Why a shovel kills fertility, how the mycorrhiza fungal network dies, and why humus burns with each soil turnover. A story of two neighbors: one digs every year, the other put away his shovel ten years ago. A comparison of yield per bush, worms per square meter. Figures on the length of mycorrhiza hyphae, humus loss, and water-holding capacity. Shovel replacements: a three- to five-centimeter flat cutter, mulch, deep-rooted green manure crops (phacelia, rye, mustard, lupine). Historical context: Ivan Ovsinsky (1899), Terenty Maltsev and the Shadrinsk Experimental Station, Nikolai Kurdyumov. Three situations when a shovel is still needed: virgin soil, heavy clay from machinery, a hotbed of rhizome weeds.
