March arrives, and in the Southern Hemisphere summer ends and autumn begins. This month is key to planning what will be the sowing and harvesting of the colder season.
During this period, where we go through the last days of summer, daylight begins to have less duration, the nights become longer and the atmosphere begins to vary. That is why it is important to know that there are many plants that need to have specific environmental conditions in order to develop properly.
What to take into account at the beginning of autumn?
To ensure success in sowing and harvesting, we must pay close attention to the length of the day, that is, the number of hours of sunlight or clarity that the plants will have.
Another not minor detail is watering and its frequency. This will depend on the environmental and climatic conditions, since the last rains of the season take place in March, depending on the region.
To these details that we mentioned above, we add the analysis of the state of the soil, to corroborate if it has the components and nutrients necessary for our work.
