Plantation in Monsoon
By

Remove
weeds, rocks, and debris to ensure a clean planting
surface. This helps roots establish easily and
prevents pest infestation.
Clear the Area
Conduct
a soil test to determine pH and nutrient levels.
This ensures the soil meets the needs of your plants
and can support healthy growth.
Test the Soil
Incorporate organic matter
like compost or mulch to improve soil drainage.
Proper drainage prevents waterlogging and root rot
during heavy monsoon rains.
Improve Drainage
Add
compost, manure, or fertilizers to enrich the soil.
This provides essential nutrients and promotes
robust plant growth throughout the monsoon
season.
Enrich the Soil
Ensure
the planting area is levelled to prevent water
pooling. Proper levelling allows even water
distribution and reduces the risk of soil
erosion.
Level the Ground
Consider
creating raised beds to improve soil structure and
drainage. Raised beds help in better root
development and protect plants from excessive
moisture.
