Tips To Remove Mold From Garden Soil
Do you know that removing mold from soil revives the life of a plant? Try these tips which I tried at my home garden. My hibiscus plant gradually turned from a blossoming plant to a withering one. No bud could survive and all the new growing leaves started taking a stunted look. There was a white feathery covering spreading across the stems, leaves and buds. All kinds of pesticides, both chemical and herbal, proved to be ineffective and the plant went on deteriorating. With no option left I decided to consult a specialist and got a surprising answer. The problem was not with the plant but in the soil.

Mold in the garden can be seen in the soil as a white layer. It can also be seen on plant stems which look like feathery clusters. It can also be green or black in color and appears to be spreading across the soil and on to the stems of the plant.

Scrape Top Layer
It is the top layer of the soil where the mold spreads rapidly. As a first step of treatment make sure to scrape off the top layer, at least two inches from the top. Doing so will ensure that all infected soil has been removed to make place for new and healthy soil.
Dispose Infected Soil
Do not let the infected soil lie around. It can lead to infection in other regions as well. Soon after scraping the top layer fill the infected soil into garbage bags. It is important to dispose off this soil and prevent any further molding.
Spray Disinfecting Solution
The infected soil will have to be replaced with healthy soil but not straightaway. It is important to make sure that no further infection will occur and hence it becomes necessary to disinfect the region. Mix equal quantities of vinegar and water and spray in the garden soil or the pot. You will have to continue this spraying while you refill the soil too.
Replace Infected Soil
Your garden or pot is now ready to receive the soil and the plant as well. Mix appropriate amount of fertilizer to the soil and fill it in the planting spot or the pot. When removing mold from garden and refilling with new soil it is advisable to provide nutrition to the new soil. It helps keep the plant healthy and prevents further molding.
Plants are a source of satisfaction and great delight. The sight of fresh green leaves are very soothing and relaxing to the senses. In order to continue deriving such pleasure it is essential to take care of plants and when required take proper steps to removing mold from garden soil and plants.
