Advices for gardeners
• Do not dig up the trunks.
• Do not remove the fallen leaves. Leave it around the perimeter of the crown. It will protect the root system from severe frosts, in addition, it will serve as mulch in the spring, and by the beginning of summer it will be processed by earthworms and microorganisms of the soil, and the tree will receive a good organic top dressing. To decontaminate fallen foliage, in the beginning of autumn pour it with a solution of "Phytosporin".In the spring, again, pour the foliage with subtrees "Fitosporin".In the spring, the garden will have an uncombed appearance for literally 2-3 weeks. And then the earthworms will pull out the remains of leaves on their holes -
will turn green under the trees. • Do not use leaves from urban or suburban parks in the garden, because they contain a whole host of poisonous substances.
• Never burn foliage, as it is done in the city. This is the richest supply of nutrients that the plant has prepared for itself for food. In addition, the fallen leaves contain a reserve of solar energy. Pay attention - nature does not only remove the fallen leaves and leaves of annual plants, and the soil under them not only does not grow scanty, it increases fertility, despite the fact that plants grow in one place for many years and no one brings in any mineral fertilizers. Why do not we learn from nature for proper land use?
• Do not use chemicals in your small garden.
• In order to help plants to transfer frosts and other weather woes more easily, use "Ekoberin", or "Epin-extrus", or "Novosil".
• In the summer against pests use modern biologics - "Fitoverm" and "Iskra-bio".They are not dangerous for us and the environment, since they are made from soil microorganisms. Therefore, nature knows how to utilize them. They are absorbed by the green leaf and function in the cell sap of the plant for 3 weeks, then the plant uses them for their own needs. During these three weeks, in any leaf-sucking( aphids, tripe, mites, scutellum) or leaf-eating( caterpillar, beetle) pest that tasted juice or flesh of the plant, the preparations cause paralysis of the gastrointestinal tract, and after 2 hours it ceases to feed. Death comes in two days from hunger. Useful insects or birds eating such pests, preparations are not dangerous, since they do not act indirectly.
In early spring, these drugs are effective against the weevil on garden strawberries( strawberries), gooseberries( apple cvetode), sawflies of all colors, red-headed aphids on red currants, causing raspberry swellings( galls) on the leaves. The treatment of plants with these preparations can be carried out even during fruiting, but the fruits can be eaten only 48 hours after spraying.
To protect the garden against diseases, there are two excellent drugs - Zircon and Phytosporin. The first of them is better to use together with "Epin-extra" for spraying the aboveground part of plants. And the second is better to use to destroy pathogens in the soil and in fallen leaves. For this, in the spring, as soon as the earth is exposed, it is necessary to spray the soil in beds, in greenhouses, under trees and bushes. In the summer - weeded weeds, as well as plants on which you noticed powdery mildew, bacteriosis, anthracnose or any suspicious spots or plaques. And in autumn it is necessary to water the soil, and the leaves, which have fallen under the plants, and other plant remains.
"Phytosporin" is a drug that protects plants against all fungal and bacterial diseases, besides it is an excellent humic( organic) fertilizer. Ecologically safe. The living bacterium Bacillis subtilis preserved in it lives and "works" in soils at temperatures from -20 to +40 degrees. So it continues to clear the soil of pathogens for a long time after you left your site in the fall."Phytosporin" is convenient to use. Plate( 200 g) dilute in water twice as large volume( 400 ml) and put the bottle with a solution in a cool place. As soon as you need a solution, take it for 1 tbsp.spoon on a bucket( 10 liters) of water, stir and immediately use. There is also a powder form of fertilizer. With it in general just work - the right amount of powder immediately dilute in the appropriate amount of water. Use the prepared solution immediately, otherwise the awakened bacterium will die. It is in hibernation, only while the concentration of preservative is high. I usually immediately prepare a solution of "Phytosporin" together with "Gumi", which is not only an excellent organic top dressing for all plants, but, like all humates, practically provides plants with self-protection from pathogens.
"Phytosporin" can not be left in winter on site, as a living bacterium can die in severe frosts. However, the fertilizer itself will remain. The temperature of the drug storage is from -20 to +40 degrees.
• "Sweet Couple" - "Zircon" and "Epin-extrus" - apply in the early spring just like "Healthy Garden" and "EcoBerry".They can be combined with "Phyto-farm", as well as with universal fertilizers."Epin-extra" perfectly helps plants in stressful situations( and in spring there are plenty of them)."Zircon" is a unique tool that supports the immune system of plants at the proper level, so after spraying with this drug the plant itself is almost capable of protecting itself from pathogens of fungal, bacterial and even viral diseases. In addition, both drugs contribute to the rapid development of plants, accelerate the maturation of fruits, improve their taste and preservation, enhance the color and smell of flower crops, increase the size of flowers.
• By maintaining the plant's own immune system in optimal condition, it is possible to help plants to cope with diseases themselves.
There is a very good drug "Novosil"( "Silk"), which contains triterpenic acids, the same as the famous ginseng, and acts similarly. By the way, all known weed mackerel also contains these acids. So eat the lice in the salads yourself and make infusion for spraying plants( a quarter of a bucket of crushed green licorice insist in a bucket of water for 4 hours, stirring, straining and spraying all the plants during the growing season).As they say, cheap and angry!
• Iodine can be used to prevent diseases caused by fungi( gray rot of wild strawberry, powdery mildew of currant and gooseberry, goby rust, monolithic stone plants, etc.).Spraying should be repeated after three days. The solution is prepared from 10 mm 5% iodine and 10 l water.
But it is much more effective to use the drug Zircon for the prevention and treatment of diseases of any plants. This drug contains organic acids, which are necessary for the immune system of plants. When they are not enough in the body, the immunity decreases. So, when spraying "Zircon" immunity is maintained at the proper level and the plants themselves are coping well with the diseases.
• If there is a long cold weather, or a sudden change in temperature between day and night, or pouring rain, or, conversely, it's hot dry weather, plants need your support. With prolonged cooling, give them foliar top dressing. The most effective is "Uniflor-bud" or "Aquadon-micro".
• In autumn, measures should be taken against rodents. Young plants of apple, pear, cherry, plum, apricot should be wrapped in capron pantyhose. And their lower end must be prikopan soil. More adult plants are tied with lapnik or a polypropylene fiber cloth( for example, ripped bags of sugar or flour).Sacks of sugar are convenient because they can not be removed for a long time in the spring, and they will serve as a protection not only from rodents, but also from frostbites and sunburn.
To protect trees from hares, apple trees can be enclosed by a cylinder made of metal mesh to its full height. Fold the cylinder more spaciously so as not to interfere with the growth of branches( by a diameter of about 60-80 cm).
