Mulch greatly reduces weeds. But it is important to understand how this happens. Thick enough (at least 5 cm), a layer of mulch does not allow sunlight to pass to the weed seedlings. Annual weeds don't germinate without light

In no other vegetable crop, the quality of the seed material has the same effect on yield as the potato. Meanwhile, from year to year, our potatoes are degenerating, accumulating diseases, and reducing the yield. How to be?
Seedlings of Brussels sprouts are grown in the same way as white cabbage. Before sowing seeds on a school, they are treated with microelements (boron, copper, manganese). To do this, they are soaked in solutions of preparations of these elements
The preparation of land for planting melons in the greenhouse began in the spring, but it is better if the ridge is at least 50% ready in the fall. In April, soil was chosen on the ridges to the clay. Our boxes for landing are 50 cm high from the clay. At the bottom, we laid a layer of sawdust 20 cm

When choosing seeds for the new season, do not chase after cheapness and curiosities: you can be deceived.If you study the messages in the periodicals, read all kinds of ads or bypass unauthorized outlets selling seeds, then you will definitely come across hybrid plants-curiosities that do not have any grounds
Brussels sprouts are low-yielding. The yield of heads of cabbage is 5-10% of the total plant weight and does not exceed 0.5-1.5 kg per 1 m2. But the low yield is offset by the extremely high nutritional value of its fruits
Pouring apple, crispy carrots …Alkaloids are heterocyclic nitrogen-containing substances of an alkaline nature with a strong physiological effect. They are synthesized in significant quantities and accumulate in certain groups of agricultural plants. T
I would often pay attention to the acidity of the soil in the greenhouse, and not introduce "extra" nutrients, then you will have fewer problems. Not only plant growth depends on acidity, but also the composition of soil microflora, the presence of certain pathogens
I want to tell you about two varieties of Japanese pumpkin selection. Of course, Japanese seeds are not sold in our stores. They come to us mainly through Europe or China.

Our flora has in its arsenal thousands and thousands of plants, and with many individual properties, characteristics and amazing abilities. Unfortunately, today in the agrotechnical literature these characteristics of plants, and especially of informant plants, have not yet been disclosed. As evidenced by the conversations conducted by the author with summer residents and gardeners, these plant abilities are not yet known to everyone and are almost never used on the plots. Based on this, th
In June - July, tomato plants bloom actively. The flowers are bisexual, so they self-pollinate. For more reliable pollination, gardeners usually shake plants ( it is better to do this at 11 o'clock in the morning ), more air the greenhouse

Nitrogen compounds of non-protein natureIn addition to proteins, plants always contain nitrogenous compounds of non-protein nature, the sum of which is often called "non-protein nitrogen - crude protein". This fraction includes mineral nitrogen compounds - nitrates and ammonia - as well as organic non-protein substances - free amino acids and amides
