The simplest shelters for planted seedlings
There are many different designs of the simplest tunnel-type shelters. In my practice, I use shelters, which cannot be simpler.
Since autumn, after harvesting the cultivated crop, I sow rye. In the spring, rye continues to develop and grows powerful stems. When planting seedlings of tomatoes, cabbage, peppers, eggplants, I pull out some of the rye bushes. Glades are formed in the rye plantings. It is in these glades that I plant prepared seedlings.
Readers will ask: what does this fit give me? I believe that it has its own reasons. First, there is no need to shade the seedlings while they take root. Rye fulfills this function optimally.
Secondly, it protects the seedlings from the wind and creates a favorable microclimate. In addition, in case of frost, it is very easy to throw a film or non-woven material over the plantings. As a result, rye becomes a kind of growing greenhouse. This has already been tested many times, practice has shown that rye withstands strong winds and rains with hail and protects seedlings. Later, when the seedlings are already beginning to compare in height with the plantings of rye, I drive in garter stakes next to the seedlings. I put cut plastic bottles on these stakes. I pull out the rye and leave the green mass right there as mulch. Later it will serve as plant nutrition.
And then I put a non-woven material on top of these stakes - and the tunnel is ready. Bottles prevent nonwovens from tearing on stakes.
