Garden protection at the end of summer. 10 events for August.
10 activities for August to ensure the protection of the garden
1. If the soil temperature falls below 12 degrees, then the root system of almost all vegetable plants stops working and for further growth begins to take nutrients from the leaves, so the foliage begins to turn yellow and fall off. To maintain the plants, you need to feed them. One of the best fertilizers is "Uniflor - Bud", 4 teaspoons diluted for about 10 liters of water. Spraying is desirable in the evening or when cloudy weather sets in. Or choose a time so that there is no rain for the next three hours after spraying.
2. The main greenhouse enemy of tomatoes is late blight and fruit tissue. For them, do not use chemicals, it is better to use iodine of about 50mm 5% iodine per 10 liters of water. The next spraying should be done after three days. You can also use such a drug called "Fitosporin", it is diluted with 2 tablespoons of the solution per 10 liters of water. You can process this solution every ten days. Another sprayer is "Zircon", it is diluted from 4 to 6 drops per 1 liter of water, or, for example, dissolve fresh yeast, but not dry. Dissolve the yeast stick in 10 liters of water. Spray the fruits and stalk with a solution of calcium chloride.
3. It is necessary to protect peppers from stem rot, like cucumbers.
4. At this time, bacteriosis mainly appears on cucumbers, to cope with it, pouring a solution of "Fitosporin" over the plants from the top of the head will help you. Then anracnosis appears on cucumbers, the solution "Zircon" will cope with it. Chemicals and copper preparations should not be used to protect the garden from pests.
5. Remove the bulbs from the soil so that the bulbs themselves stand on the soil on the roots. We pour them with a solution of table salt, this is about 1 glass of salt in a bucket of water and leave the watered onion uncovered. We work with cabbage in the same way, only after watering it will need to be spilled back.
6. It is important not to forget to water the cabbage with a solution of calcium nitrate once every two weeks (we dilute 3 tablespoons per 10 liters of water, pour 0.5 liters under the bush) against the keel, or you can also pour lime milk under the bush, here we dilute a glass of lime or chalk per 10 liters of water. This is necessary to protect the garden from diseases and pests in summer.
7. Protection of the garden from diseases and pests will be effective with a biological product "Fitoverm".
8. After about the 20th, we plant the garlic. We make holes for cloves of garlic, about 12-15 centimeters, with a grid of 10 by 10 or 15 by 15 centimeters. Pour a tablespoon of sand into each compartment and lower the AVA granule, and then a clove of garlic, pour more sand on top and cover with earth. With such a planting, garlic will not sprout in the fall, but its root system will get stronger, and it will stay with it all winter. Such fertilizer will serve you all summer and you will not need to feed anything else, the sand around will create conditions for garlic, and it will not rot. There is a drug "Maxim", it goes against the rot of bulbous crops. It is good to soak all bulbous crops in it.
9. Berry bushes are best handled and fed immediately after harvesting the entire crop of gooseberries and currants. Be sure to remove spider nests as well as dry berries and curled leaves when harvesting. Feed them superphosphate and potassium. Fertilizer is best applied in dry weather, and so that the top layer of the earth is also dry.
10. Look at young strawberry leaves, if there are small holes on them, then the weevil has returned. Spray the bushes with Fitoverm or Decis and the protection of the garden from diseases and pests in the summer is provided
