Autumn redigging and fertilizer of the soil prepare the earth for new harvest. Overturning layers, you take outside of wreckers and seeds of weeds, the majority of which will die from winter frosts. Autumn fertilizers restore fertility of the soil.
However if there was not enough time or desire to process kitchen garden in the fall, for lost time it is possible to make up in the spring. As soon as snow descends, take care of bushes on the site. Make fire, boil in high-capacity water and pour over bushes boiled water – thus you will destroy wreckers who have wintered in kidneys. It is necessary to carry out this processing before kidneys reveal.
If you did not carry out cutting of plants in the fall, be engaged in it in the spring. Remove the dry or covered with lichen branches, volchkovy escapes (shoots in bosoms of the main branches).
After thawing of snow dig over the site and mark it on beds under the main cultures which you are going to land. It is recommended to apply crop rotation, i.e. to change cultures which are grown up on one site of kitchen garden. At the same time it is not necessary to alternate plants which suffer from the general wreckers or oppress each other – for example, strawberry cannot be planted after tomatoes, potatoes or raspberry. On the other hand, many plants form peculiar symbiosis if grow at row, and yield the raised harvest. For example, onions and garlic frighten off wreckers from strawberry and raspberry. Near tomato plantation it is possible to put basil bed, and here it is better to grow up potatoes far away: these nightshade family – antagonists. Near potatoes it is possible to plant cabbage of any grades – the neighbourhood of these cultures will be mutually useful. Many gardeners prefer to fill up all site with fertilizers before digging. This method has essential shortcoming: you with guarantee receive good harvest of weeds even if you will spend the whole summer in fight against them. It is better to fertilize beds or holes under seeds or seedling. As organic fertilizers it is possible to use compost, the rerotting manure or dung. Mineral fertilizers have to contain nitrogen (it is especially important in the spring for growth of green material), phosphorus and potassium. Microelements are extremely desirable: Mg, Cu, Mn, Co, etc. If they are not part of complex fertilizer, buy these additives in the form of tablets. If you introduce fertilizer in the form of granules, loosen and mix the soil to distribute them evenly and to accelerate dissolution in the soil. It is possible to dissolve fertilizers in water at once and to water with solution the earth before landing. Attentively read application instructions and respect the rules of application of fertilizers to the earth: the overdose can lead to the fact that plants will begin to hurt, and fruits and berries - quickly to spoil in storage time.
