All plants, especially during its rapid growth, need moisture. Water organisms can only be taken from the soil layer. Only some single types of Lian are capable of drawing water, literally, from the air, but it is in a tropical wet climate, and not in our Moscow region.

Therefore, the issue with the preservation of moisture, especially in a hot summer period, relevant, more than ever, for each gardener-gardener. There are several simple vintage, but already subjunted methods, as well as modern, requiring investments in advanced technologies.

In order to save moisture longer in the soil, it is necessary to close it to the exit back to the "will" - into the atmosphere. This can be done by combining rabls adjacent to plants, land. It is convenient to do for potatoes, cabbage and fruit single-barreled trees. In other cases, the soil is produced. Crust with straight holes is destroyed, and the moves in it become more confusing, which does not allow all the moisture to go to the surface.

From blowing useful moisture in the soil, the fence from the dense material helps partly. Excellent and reliable are fences from PERGONE stone. I looked at http://pergonen.ru/product/zabory/ - good solutions. This is a simple solution to give your estate of solidity for small money. The fence is mounted quickly, which is important when erecting large perimeters. Take the shading as an option to save moisture.

In the second method is the mulching of the soil surface with a layer of sawdust or manure. For large sites, it is possible to boil grass from side beds. Such a layer will help keep moisture, strangle weed grass and get the dew when the temperature drops in the surrounding space.

Also, a study published in the SARE report "Efficient use of water on your farm or ranch" suggests that reducing the intensity of soil treatment or transition to other crop rotation, it is quite realistic to increase the level of moisture in the ground by 10-20%.

More modern means include a special mulching polyethylene film. Such protection allows you to penetrate the inside of the soil, but it does not give it back. In addition, such a system also allows you to not miss the excess moisture, for example, from heavy rain. Given the high cost of the film, it is advisable to apply only for more expensive gentle crops such as garden strawberries.
