Truck farming according to Mittlaider – popular method of cultivation of vegetables which was developed by the American, the doctor of agricultural sciences Jacob Mittlaider. The method is that vegetables are grown up in the special way on narrow beds.
Rule No. 1 – tochnostv truck farming doctor Mittlayder attaches crucial importance to accuracy. Failures and actions have to be at random excluded. Successfully to be engaged in vegetable growing, it is necessary to follow techniques and processing methods. It is impossible to exclude separate operations from leaving, otherwise the received results can cause disappointment.
Rule No. 2 – width always one
Narrow beds on Mittlaydera are the strips of the earth prepared for receiving big crop in a special way. Their width only 45 cm, and is long – to 9 m. However, any can be long, it can be varied, depending on are long kitchen garden and relief of the site. Width – constant – 45. On both sides of ridge, sides 10 cm high become. From faces the ridge is limited too to sides which prevent outflow of moisture from bed.
Rule No. 3 – observance of ryadovrasteniye are surely put by ranks. The distance between ranks and plants among depends on cultures. So, saplings of corn, potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, melons, watermelons, turnips, salad sheet it is possible to place on bed only in one row. And, not in the center of ridge, and is closer to its side. Distance between them – from 50 to 7.5 cm. Onions, garlic, beet, carrots, broccoli cabbage, garden radish, cabbage lettuce it is possible to arrange in two ranks in chessboard order on both parties, having left free space in the center of ridge. Rule No. 4 – udobreniyeudobreniye of narrow ridges happens as follows – fertilizing fills directly on the surface of the soil, along number of plants, at distance of 10 cm from stalks. So they will not cause burns of plants, and the salts which are in them neutralize growth of weeds. Then the bed is thoroughly watered. Rule No. 5 – wide in kitchen garden according to Mittlayder passes between ridges is wider than prokhody, than ridges. Our summer residents have not got used to dispose of the landing area so prodigally at all. But doctor Mittlayder insists – pass has to be not already 70 cm, it is ideal – meter. For melon – to two meters. Then will easily look after plants, and they will receive enough light, air and the area of power supply for normal development. Rule No. 5 – special only ridges polivpolivatsya. Water does not get on passes and is not wasted. Watering is made at the level of the soil. That is, literally, on ridge the hose from which directly to roots of plant water is delivered keeps within. Overhead irrigation and the systems of watering are excluded. Water should not get on leaves at all – doctor Mittlayder so considers.
