The main mistakes of summer residents. Creation of microclimatic conditions. Seedling

In all plants, the maximum increase in green mass occurs in May, until mid-June. This speaks of optimal conditions, then the heat begins, the growth of shoots is inhibited, everything only begins to bloom and set seeds. This factor also contains the mistakes of summer residents, which need to be eliminated as soon as possible.
Solar heat is the shutdown of photosynthesis and shutdown of all physiological reactions of the plant. If the beds are open, then you can sleep from the sun by covering the beds with straw or hay.
Most gardeners do not know that it is necessary to protect themselves not only from the sun, but also from the wind, which intensifies all the stressful manifestations of temperature. If it is a warm, dry summer wind, then it dries up everything in just one or two days. The plants will not have time to harvest, the main task is to cope with the dry wind.
If the wind is winter, it blows out and dries in the same way with frost. Those trees that are lucky to be behind some buildings survive, while others freeze out.
The optimal shelter for plants is a translucent milky white thin carbonate. It is better not to use the film, it can be torn by heavy rains.
We do not protect ourselves from precipitation - hail happens quite often in different regions.
Competent planting of seedlings
As for seedlings, many plant them in February and put them on the windowsill.
We try to sow seedlings as early as possible, but sometimes frosts happen in April. Even on the southern window, the seedlings stretch, receiving less than three quarters of the light, and they do not receive full-fledged light through the window, because the window does not transmit ultraviolet rays and shines only a few hours a day. Thus, the seedlings grow in almost complete darkness.
It will be better to use special installations with illumination for germinating seedlings, despite the fact that every month, starting in February, the amount of sunlight doubles. Seedlings that stand on the windowsill receive 50% less light than they need.
It is best not to plant seedlings too early, the optimal time is the end of April. According to its development, such seedlings will catch up and overtake those seedlings that are planted in traditional times.
As a compromise, you need to purchase a reflective screen so that sunlight is reflected from the other three sides, this will give a huge advantage and an increase in chlorophyll.
Mistakes of summer residents and watering plants
When it comes to watering plants, plants have special water roots that are responsible for supplying water to the plant. Plants, when planted in the soil, need to be watered with not a small amount of water, so the earth will be moistened only in the arable layer, you need to water strongly, a whole bucket for a tomato bush, mulch and no longer water until fruiting, since the root goes deeper and looks for water there. The root will only go vertically.
You must always remember about watering, you have to go for watering, cucumbers must be watered every day so that they are not bitter, since we are growing a cultivated cucumber. We can say that this is watering with a touch of technological need.
The most dangerous thing that can be created by chaotic irrigation - moisture will accumulate only in the upper soil layer. If there is more moisture at the top than at the bottom, then the root will bend and look for moisture.
Abundant watering can cause the soil to become salty and can become wasteland.
