Arable (trenchless) farming is gaining more and more supporters all over the world.
And why plow the land when you can use a fairly simple method of sowing seeds, such as sowing seeds in tablets or the so-called seed bombs.
Preparing the greenhouse for spring
A solar-heated greenhouse becomes especially relevant in early spring. It is convenient to grow seedlings in it. It allows you to get early greens and early ripening vegetables, which are so necessary in spring. To put a greenhouse or greenhouse into operation, it is necessary to carry out a number of works. Then the first harvest may be on your table in early April.

The beginning of the summer cottage season is always associated with a lot of trouble. And the weather brings a lot of surprises: either spring begins, almost from February, then frost and snow at the end of May. All this knocks out of the usual rut. You don't know whether to start sowing onions and carrots in March or wait a little longer, all of a sudden these warm or even hot days are just a false start.
Details Author: Ekaterina from KievHow to grow healthy seedlings
Healthy and robust seedlings start with seeds. The quality and quantity of the harvest directly depends on how healthy the seeds were selected, in what conditions they were stored. But the speed of harvesting and the ability of seeds to transfer their qualities to new plants depend on agricultural practices, for example, pre-sowing seed treatment.
I would like to suggest that you familiarize yourself with some very useful tips.
If you have your own vegetable garden, dacha, garden, then these useful tips are for you! There may be some nuances that can harm trees, plants and vegetables, you do not know. It seems like little things ... but they can do you a great service!
- Lilac, rose, fir, barberry and white acacia can inhibit the growth of nearby trees, especially pear and apple trees.
- If there is a slope on the site, then raspberries and other berry bushes it is not recommended to plant in its lower part. This will ensure the outflow of cold air in the area.
- Growing potatoes in apple aisles can lead to the accumulation of toxins in the soil. First of all, apple trees will suffer from this.
- Neighborhood rowan with pear positively affects the growth and development of the latter.
- Take a close look at the trees before summer... If damage is found after frost - whitewash the bases and trunks.
- Geranium, planted next to raspberries and currants for the summer, repels aphids well.
- Having bought new seedlings, Dip their roots in a mixture of clay and water, cover with plastic or wrap in a cloth.
- Fruit trees should be planted during the dormant period: in the fall - after the shedding of leaves and in the spring - before the buds appear. It is recommended to do this in the spring when the ground has not yet warmed up.
- Plants are harmful to frequent, but superficial watering... The damp surface of the earth stops the access of oxygen to the roots of plants. As a result, the water does not reach the required depth, and the roots do not feed on moisture.
- Raspberries will take root well next to the apple tree... This arrangement protects the apple tree from scab, and raspberries will not suffer from powdery mildew.
- Gooseberries planted next to a pine tree not affected by powdery mildew.
- So that the seeds sprout faster, soak them in "living water". Such water is obtained after heating to 90-100C, followed by cooling in a closed vessel.
- Do not disregard even small wounds in the trees! Strip each with a knife and paint over. Superficial shallow wounds can be painted over without cleaning.
- To get rid of the anthill, pour it with boric acid solution or boiling water, then put garlic cloves around the perimeter and sprinkle with salt.
- If on the area of the mouse, use special seeding bags. In order not to accidentally poison the spring birds, cover these bags with boards.
- Cherry yields a good harvest if planted next to a sweet cherry.
- For carrots
In order not to attract a carrot fly when thinning carrots, you need to take a bucket of water and dilute 1 tablespoon of red or black ground pepper in it (enough for 10 square meters). You do not need to insist, just spray the carrots with infusion before thinning.
If you want to get a harvest of good clean carrots (without any rot, infection, etc.), I advise you, after the second thinning in early July, to water the young plants with water (in a bucket) with potassium permanganate diluted in it (3 g) and 2 - 3 g of boric acid. The bucket is enough for 3 - 4 sq. m. Repeat the same procedure a second time in 20 days. The carrots will be clean. Do not forget to water the carrots with plain water just before watering with the solution.
To prevent the carrots from becoming horny, not cracking, thin them out, leaving a distance of at least 4 - 5 cm between the plants.
- For beets
Beetroot is an unpretentious culture, but a few tips can be given. Many gardeners do not like large beets. If you want to get a smaller vegetable, plant not as usual plants at a distance of 8 - 10 cm in a row and 18 - 20 cm in aisles, but reduce the distance between rows to 10 - 12 cm. Sowing beets directly into the ground, through seedlings (grown in a greenhouse ) gives better results.
When I plant seedlings in the ground (June 5 - 6), be sure to pinch it by a third or a quarter. Thus, the plant's forces go to the "head" and not to the root.
Beets, unlike carrots, love ash. Therefore, add ashes under the beetroot a couple of times a season. This helps to neutralize the soil, because the beets do not tolerate acidic soils. You can even sprinkle lime under the plants for deoxidation.
To make the beets look sweet, pour salt water on them twice (a spoonful of salt in a bucket of water). Water for the first time when the root crop is just starting to round, then 25 - 30 days before harvesting.
- For tomatoes
The first tier with tomatoes is already in the greenhouse. So, be sure to tear off the leaf on the tomatoes before this first tier, so that it does not take food from the fruits. You need to rip off the leaf as soon as small tomatoes appear - with a cherry, you don't need to do this before: otherwise the ovaries will not tie well.
These days, you need to properly feed the tomato with sodium humate - 10 g per 100 liters of water. Do not be afraid of sodium humate, it is an organic fertilizer.
In greenhouses, tomatoes are harder to tie, especially in this hot summer. To speed up pollination, I advise you to knock on the stems of tomatoes, as I say to poke.
Very often, gardeners do not know which stepsons to cut off and which ones to leave, and this is directly related to the harvest. Tip to remember: you only need to leave the first stepson, who appears under (and not above) the first brush. Most gardeners do just the opposite and leave the upper, harmful stepson, which will bloom, but not bear fruit. The remaining two trunks will allow you to form a bush (sometimes it can be formed into 3 stems) with 4 - 5 tiers of tomatoes.
An important detail: watering
Remember: you need to water the tomatoes not under the bush, but in the aisles. Under the bush, I water the tomatoes while they are small, and by June 10 - 12, when the bushes are completely huddled, abundant watering is only in the aisles. Tomatoes love infrequent, but it is abundant watering (1 time in 7 - 8 days). Moreover, the top of the earthed hillock must remain dry - in this way the air flows through the dry soil to the roots. You can even mulch the top with chopped straw. And let the moisture go to the roots from the aisles. Explanation why: when we water the bush under the root, the water washes away the root and the earth lags behind it. The root system again has to work, spend energy to "suck" the soil. In the grooves, the wet soil, on the contrary, presses on the roots, presses down on the ground.
Early since skewers
Many gardeners complain that daikon or black radish shoots quickly. This can be avoided by planting a black radish not earlier than July 5-10, and a daikon not earlier than July 25.
Garden strawberries need attention
When the time comes to harvest strawberries from the beds, pick absolutely all the berries, not just the beautiful and fully ripe ones. Even those affected by rot should not be left behind! After the strawberries bear fruit, also cut off all the antennae, loosen the aisles, water and feed the plants (or mulch) with a mullein.
You can also sprinkle the bushes with coniferous concentrate in order to scare away the strawberry weevil.
Removing flower stalks is a push for a plant to grow.
Vigilance is above all!
Unfortunately, the beloved month of July - mid-summer, is characterized not only by heat, but also by hordes of pests: scoops, carrot and onion flies, powdery mildew and late blight.
Eggplants and peppers can be eaten by aphids, mites, and whiteflies. As soon as the rains begin, slugs attack. That is why in July it is imperative to process all plants, at least for prevention, because it is much better to prevent a disease than to deal with its treatment later.
Harvest the soil
It is in July that it is best to start harvesting land for the next season. You can prepare humus or river sand, which must be stored in a cool, warm place. From time to time you need to moisten and loosen the ground.
Accelerating ripening
In order to speed up the ripening of vegetables, reduce the watering of tomatoes, onions, and garlic in June. This will accelerate the growth process so much that you yourself will be surprised at the progress. The main thing is not to make the ground completely dry, so that the seedlings do not die at all. For example, if you stop watering tomatoes, and then flood them (or a heavy downpour will pass), then the fruits will crack and you will get a bad harvest in the end.
Water with love
At the moment when roots begin to appear in the plant, watering is very important (carrots, beets, parsley, celery). If there is not enough moisture, then you will receive a small crop.
Iodine for better seed germination and plant protection
Cabbage is badly affected by aphids. To prevent the appearance of this pest, treat the cabbage with laundry soap foam. And if aphids still appear, then such a solution will be effective: half a liter of milk and 10 drops of iodine, mix with 10 liters of water. This solution must be sprayed with cabbage. And for its better growth and protection from diseases, use a solution of iodine and water (40 drops per bucket of water). Pour a liter of this solution under each bush, when the cabbage has just formed a head of cabbage.
Also, tomato seedlings are watered with iodine solution for faster growth (1 drop per three liters). After applying this solution, the seedlings will bloom faster and the fruits will be larger. Iodine can also protect tomatoes from phytophthora. To do this, you need a few drops of iodine and 250 grams of milk, mix them with 1 liter of water.
Hydrogen peroxide for fast seed germination
To do this, you need a 4% hydrogen peroxide solution. You can soak tomato, cabbage or beetroot seeds in it. Just keep in mind that different seeds are soaked for different periods of time: cabbage - for 12 hours, tomatoes and beets - for 24 hours. You can use a more general solution, it is suitable for seeds of any crops: mix a tablespoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide solution with half a liter of water. Just do not forget to rinse the seeds under running water after soaking and dry them thoroughly. Hydrogen peroxide solution can be used to prevent tree diseases. For such purposes, peroxide and water are taken in a ratio of 1:32.
Tea in the garden
To fertilize the garden, you can take used tea leaves (or coffee grounds). And also such tea leaves can be used so that the onion does not hurt. To do this, dry it before planting the onion, and then, when the onion is planted, put it under each bush.
Salt for feeding
Salt is used for feeding if there is not enough sodium in the ground. This is usually seen when beets are planted, in which case the leaves turn red. To increase the sodium content, the beets are watered with brine (250 grams of coarse salt is diluted in 10 liters of water).
The perfectly balanced vitamin formula of carrots explains the medicinal properties of the product.
The main element of carrots is carotene, which is transformed in the body into vitamin A,
affecting almost all organs and systems of human organs and protects cells from negative external influences.

I never cease to be amazed! I learned a lot from them and I hope I will learn a lot more. I decided all the garden secrets and tricks, tips for gardeners to collect in one place. I am sure that there are a great many small tricks for gardeners and truck farmers and the page will be constantly updated.
1. Beets love sprinkling and frequent but careful loosening.
2. After the second thinning, the beets are fed with mineral fertilizers.
3. Beetroot grows best in narrow beds, maximum 3 rows wide, with a distance of 15-17 cm between plants.
4. Until the carrots have sprouted, they are watered regularly. When shoots appear, it is better not to water them for 12-15 days, with the exception of dry days. This allows the roots to go as deep as possible into
soil.
5. If mustard is sown next to peas, its yield will be 2 times higher.
6. It is better to sow dill in the sun, as in the shade the scent of the leaves is reduced. Ash and lime are not added to the dill
7. Clematis is watered in spring with milk of lime - 100-150 grams of water for 10 liters of water.
8. In mid-July, carefully scoop the earth from the celery and wipe it with a cloth. After 15-50 minutes, they spud again. Watering is carried out only after 2-3 days.
9. To stimulate the pouring of the pumpkin fruit, its lashes are pinned to the ground and rooted.
10. Seedlings of pumpkin crops such as cucumber, squash, zucchini can be
grow in this way: cut the turf into 10 * 12 cm cubes,
turn the roots down, make a depression and plant a seed in it.
11. To make rhubarb stalks grow thick, the soil under the plants is fertilized every year.
12. Do not feed beans, peas, onions, garlic, beans with nettle infusion.
13. Apple and pear require more potassium, and cherry - nitrogen.
14. If the seedlings are stroked on the tops of the heads for 1-2 minutes every day, it
will not stretch. When touched, ethylene is released, which inhibits
this process.
15. Nettle increases the resistance of nearby plants to diseases.
That is why it is useful to mulch the aisles with chopped nettles.
16. Mustard siderates enrich the soil with phosphorus and sulfur, and also cleanse it of bear and wireworm.
17. Onions will grow better if mustard grew in this place.
18. Plants are repellents: lupine, celandine, nastrutia, calendula, marigolds, onions, canufer, tansy, wormwood.
19. It is useful to mulch strawberries with coniferous litter. This will improve the taste of the berries, and
will also help to cope with gray mold, weevil, tick,
wireworm. And mulching with ferns will help the strawberries cope
with nematodes and gray mold.
20. After a sharp cold snap, the plants are sprayed with immunocytophyte or
zircon. And you can use an infusion of onion peel. Pour 10 liters
water 0.5 liter jar of husk, boil, leave for 12 hours,
strain. When spraying, dilute with water in a 2/10 ratio.
21. When it gets cold, buckets of hot water are brought into the greenhouse, heated bricks are laid on metal sheets.
22. To increase yields, it is necessary to attract
pollinating insects... For this, pink and white clover are sown,
fescue, bluegrass. Insects are also attracted by flowers of white mustard and
carrots.
23. In order for the remontant strawberry varieties to have more abundant fruiting in the second half of summer, peduncles are broken in the spring.
24. Dill is a good companion for a cucumber.
25. Beetroot sown along potatoes and tomatoes helps them cope with late blight.

coriander, celery, marigolds, calendula, and branches
wormwood.
28. When planting potatoes, a handful of ash is poured into the hole - it is a fertilizer and helps from the wireworm.
29. To increase yields and improve taste in the first half of June
garlic is watered first with salt water - 2 tbsp. spoons per 10 liters of water, and
then the usual.
30. With poor growth of carrots, the beds with this culture are watered with a salt solution - 1 tbsp. spoon for 10 liters of water.
31. Cucumber is picky about moisture, especially during flowering and
fruiting. However, at the beginning of flowering, it is best to cut back and then
reinforce again. This promotes faster fruit formation.
32. In hot weather, cucumbers, together with abundant watering, combine frequent spraying.
33. Cucumber pollen dies at t> 30ºC Therefore, at this time in the greenhouse you need to place containers with water.
34. Low temperatures and sudden changes in day and night temperatures
are the reasons for the deterioration of the taste of cucumber. Also cucumbers
do not tolerate drafts at all.
35. The increased content of carbon dioxide in the air accelerates maturation
fruits and increases the yield. Therefore, it is useful to put a container with
mullein and stir from time to time.
36. If at the beginning of summer several fruits were set on pepper plants, and
flowering has stopped, then these fruits must be plucked. Plants after that
will begin to bloom with renewed vigor and by the end of the season they will give a high
harvest.
37. To bring fresh air to the roots of the pepper, loosen the soil more often and avoid the formation of a soil crust.
To attract beneficial insects, bees, butterflies and bumblebees, plant dahlias, calendula, marigolds next to cucumber and tomato beds. In addition to the benefits for the plants themselves, you will be great to decorate your garden, which will look more like a fragrant flower garden with useful buzzing ...

Iris
Top dressing:
- in early spring - fertilizing from nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in a ratio of 1: 1: 1, respectively;
- during the period of bud formation - feeding from nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in a ratio of 0.5: 1: 3, respectively;
- a month after flowering - fertilizing from phosphorus and potassium in a ratio of 1: 1.
Actinidia
- Do not loosen the plants, but sprinkle them with humus, since the roots are located close to the surface.
- Fertilizers - complex mineral fertilizer in early spring, in autumn - superphosphate, potassium sulfate, ash.
- Protect from cats.
- Most of the roots of the plant are in the surface layer of the soil. Therefore, in the heat, daily watering is required. It is better to spend them in the late afternoon, irrigating the crown and the trunk circle.
- Do not try to cut it in the spring - it will be paid, it will not be oklematsya.
- In the fall, after the end of the growing season, cut out broken, underdeveloped and thickening branches. All annual shoots are cut off by 50-70 cm, since all fruit buds of the plant are located within this length. Keep in mind that actinidia cannot be pruned in the spring. Otherwise, she will “cry” bitterly, that is, juice will flow from the wounds.
Clematis

- Spray occasionally.
- For the winter, cover with a covering, box, box.
Tree hydrangea
- Top dressing in spring - flower kemira.
- The second feeding for the budding period. Fertilize only with phosphorus and potassium (about 50 g of superphosphate) and 25-30 g of potassium sulfate.
- Over the summer, a young bush can be fed 2-3 more times, but already with significantly smaller doses of mineral fertilizers.
He loves when it is sometimes poured with diluted milk whey or sour milk, kefir, as well as feeding from bread soaked and sour in water.

Save so you don't lose
We would all like to be the best gardeners, right? But what are the habits that make gardeners successful that make their gardens ideal? Here are some helpful gardening tips so you can benefit from them and take your gardens to the next level.
Useful Gardening Tips: Practicing Successful Farming
Here are 15 habits of successful gardeners, which from our point of view are low-cost, but for all their simplicity, they give a mega-effect:
1. Pay attention to annual soil restoration
At least once a year (and sometimes more often), it is necessary to add any organic matter, humus and nutrients to the soil, for example, compost, worm compost, crushed leaves, grass cuttings, rotted manure, straw, perlite or sphagnum.
The organic substances introduced in previous years have already decomposed and were used by plants, the soil has depleted, therefore it is necessary to add organic substances to the soil every year.
2. Choose your plants carefully
Find out which plants are best for your conditions. These are plants of short and long days, cool or warm seasons, do they need sun or partial shade? If it is a perennial plant, will it withstand the cold weather that occurs in your area?
Each area of the country has unique growing conditions, and one variety will grow better in one area and another in another. Information is usually provided on the seed packet, and experienced gardeners in your gardening partnership and good nurseries in your area can help.
It is equally important to choose the plants that you love. If a plant does not grow well in your area or you hate to eat it, don't grow it! It is much more pleasant to spend time caring for your favorite plants.
3. Use mulch
Nature abhors bare soil. A few centimeters of organic mulch, such as hay or wood chips, will retain moisture, block weed growth, even out soil temperatures, and when decomposed, serve as plant food. A good mulch will also help keep earthworms and other beneficial organisms in your garden by providing air for the roots of your plants.
4. Water and fertilize regularly
Fertilize the soil regularly, not when the plants start signaling a lack of nutrition with foliage. Pay attention to what your plants need. Do they need more water? Feel the soil, look at the leaves. Learn what healthy plants should look like and what leaf chlorosis looks like to spot the problem early.
Study the type of soil in your area, this affects how often you need to water the plants and apply organic fertilizers. Do a soil analysis whenever possible, this is the best way to find out what nutrients the soil already contains and what it needs.
5. Make compost
Nothing else does so much good at so little cost. You can use food scraps and cut plants to make fantastic fertilizer instead of throwing it away.
Try using earthworms for even more nutritious compost. Almost everyone knows about their benefits, but worms are already very slowly settling on the site.
To speed up this process, create favorable conditions for the worms: in any container without a bottom (a saucepan or trough), place food waste and cut grass, which whet the appetite for the worms. Once they have recycled the waste, carefully collect it and distribute it around the area.
And, of course, check in your little vermi farm again. Or make the same model right on the garden bed, periodically moisturizing it. Such compost beds can be walking around the site: on the one hand, new organic matter is continuously poured, and on the other, ready-made compost is taken away.
Or, once you punch a bunch of organic matter in a garden bed, you get a long-lasting organic garden bed for years to come. It will not be difficult to maintain its fertility by adding mulch and sowing siderates.
6. Use good tools
The right tool for the job is the most effective way to get things done. If you buy a good quality instrument and take proper care of it, it will last you a lifetime.
The right size and weight tools will make your job a lot easier. Remember that a fragile girl and a tall man need tools with different handle lengths. There are even tools for people with disabilities. And don't forget that children also need their own instruments. Use simple organizers to store your garden tools and garden trivia.
7. Keep a garden journal
This is one of the most beneficial habits. Write down the varieties of plants, when you planted them, what problems you encountered. Also, mark where you plant your plants each year to help you keep track of your crop rotation.
So that you don't have to make the same mistakes over and over again, keep an eye on the weather, what you did, what has a beneficial effect on your plants and what doesn't (yes, bad experience also gives a lot of information in the future). You will learn a lot of things just by reading your own garden journal entries over the years.
8. Take a walk in the garden often
Try to walk in your garden more often, look at your plants from different angles. Learn to see the problem before it gets too big. Make it a habit to remove a few weeds each time, if necessary. These walks will help you become more observant, and will also save you from piling up tasks.
9. Set realistic goals
Yes, we all want to turn our entire plot, regardless of size, into a beautiful garden (or mini-farm), but do we have the time and energy to take care of all the plants planted? Will we be able to harvest, preserve and process the entire harvest?
Think about what you can realistically deal with. And start your garden even smaller. Each year, you will be able to increase the amount of work done if it turns out that you can handle it easily. But if you overwhelm yourself in the first few years, chances are good that you will no longer want to do gardening. And there are a thousand such examples, where a mother-in-law or mother-in-law repulsed the love of gardening.
10. Be discreet and rational.
Do not get carried away with large beds. Make not a huge dug field, but stationary beds with convenient aisles. The optimal width is 60-100 cm (so that the hands can be reached for processing and planting), and you can lay any length of them.
Multiple crops (extended crops) can be grown on the same garden bed throughout the year if they are rotated correctly. For example, a daikon radish can be sown in the free space after collecting garlic, it is perfectly stored in winter.
11. Never Stop Learning
Join a gardening club or forum and learn from your fellows. Read books on modern gardening, attend a lecture or workshop, visit a botanical garden, or look for a hydroponic garden or apiary in your area.
Never stop learning. There is so much to learn that will last a lifetime. Plus, by sharing knowledge with other gardeners, you can avoid costly mistakes.
12. Be patient and persistent
Gardening is one of the things that doesn't bring immediate results. Many plants take several months to grow, it may take several years before you see the first fruits on your fruit trees. You need to be patient and diligent until you get the harvest, and then the cycle starts over.
13. Love nature
Gardening is more than just the desire to eat fresh vegetables. Nature always works in a complex: from bees pollinating your plants to birds that eat caterpillars from their leaves. Your garden should become a harmoniously developed ecosystem where everything is interconnected.
14. Share
Many great relationships start when you share something. If you find something new and interesting - share it! If you have extra seeds or seedlings, hand out / sell them. It could be a book or your knowledge that will help those who are just starting out. And do not hesitate to seek advice yourself.
15. Don't quit what you started.
Remember that some gardening and horticultural practices are quite volatile. What worked one year may not work the next. Check your garden magazine, consult your gardening friends. And start over next spring a little wiser than last year.
For today, these are all smart tips for the garden and vegetable garden. It seems to have turned out a little, but they quite harmoniously flow from one another and affect many techniques from the practice of natural farming. Perhaps you also have useful tips on gardening and gardening, supplement them in the comments, we will be grateful.
