The orchard is put not for one year and even not for decade. It has long life therefore it is very important to choose correctly grades of cultures adapted for local conditions, to arrange them on the site that they did not interfere with each other, and it was simpler to look after them.
It is required to you
- - saplings of fruit-trees and berry bushes;
- - shovel;
- - pitchfork;
- - rake;
- - pegs.
Instruction
1. Fruit and berry crops differently belong to the water mode, relief and different types of the soil. Before buying saplings of plants, define structure of the soil on your site. For this purpose address experts in agrochemical laboratory. In the same place to you will help to pick up necessary fertilizers, doses of their introduction and so on.
2. In case it cannot be made, then determine structure of the soil by external signs. Take samples in different places of your site, mix them and soak water. If from this weight at you it turns out to stick together ball, and from it it is possible to roll cord and to close it in ring, so clay soil. If this cord in attempt to close it in ring is scattered, then the soil loamy. If from this ball the cord – the soil sandy has not turned out. If the ball cannot be rolled, and palms at this the procedure remained clean, then it rykhlopeschany and if hands became dirty, then sandy.
3. The best soil for cultivation of fruit-trees consider light loam. But at good leaving garden can be laid out on any site. By means of fertilizers it is possible to turn practically any earth into fertile.
4. If you have low site, then from it it is necessary to dewater. Dig through on site borders superficial ditches (depth approximately on shovel bayonet) and connect them to deeper street ditch.
5. On the place of expected rows of trees and bushes dig out trenches one meter wide and half-meter depth, at the same time put the top fertile layer on the one side of trench, and lower with another. On bottom put layer of wood garbage, pieces of branches or sawdust. Then put compost layer. Close all this the infertile soil from base layer of trench, and then and fertile. Thus, at you shafts will turn out. Their surface will quickly dry out in the spring and excess moisture will leave. Year later in them it is already possible to plant saplings.
6. It is simpler to place trees and berry bushes the correct ranks, having them from the North on the South. Plants can be placed and separately, and it is mixed. In the first case, allocate the certain square under each culture. Advantage of this way is that plants can grow long time, without oppressing each other.
7. At the mixed landings it is possible to use most productively each centimeter of the site, having condensed landings of fruit-trees with berry bushes. However lack of such way – complexity of pest control and diseases of plants.
8. Before placing plants on the site, draw the plan on paper, specifying cultures and their grades. Then mark future landings by means of pegs on the site. At first plan the place of landing of large trees, and already then berry bushes.
9. Dig out landing holes. It is necessary to do it in advance, approximately in two weeks prior to landing of saplings that the earth has sunk. Plants land in the period of biological rest that is when they have not begun yet or have already stopped the growth. It is the end of September in the fall - October, and in the spring as soon as thaws soil. Fruit-trees take root better at spring landing while plant berry bushes in the fall.
10. Well and, of course, what garden without flowers and ornamental plants. Plant long-term and annual flowers, break beds, and your garden will play bright paints.
