To process trees I begin with autumn. I spray them in the beginning three-percent bordeaux liquid then they are shone with heavenly or turquoise color. Then on turn vlagozaryadkovy watering: I water with slowly current stream at small pressure so that the earth round trees was impregnated with water on depth of 60-80 cm, moisture reached the bottom roots of a tree.
The following stage – mulchirovany soils in pristvolny circles. A material for a mulch can be: straw, peat, humus, sunflower peel, foliage, sawdust etc.
Here and my garden in wintering leaves. But as weather conditions at us change very often, and trees can’t be in an identical condition. During the autumn and winter period snowfalls are replaced by rains which wash away bordeaux liquid from trunks and branches. The bark on shtambax and skeletal branches darkens, and it isn’t desirable, as dark color draws sunshine. And as result of all this defeat of trunks and branches as burns, and morozoboinami. Differences of temperatures in February windows are especially dangerous. The temperature in the afternoon podymaetsya to plusovy, and at night falls to the minus. The bark of dark color thus starts to fissure.
That it didn’t happen, trees I bleach. Usually I do it in January or February, when air temperature podymaetsya in the afternoon to +50S. This year bleached trees on January 13-14, at day temperature +70S.
For whitewashing I take 2 kg of a lime, 200 g of a copper vitriol and 100 g of PVA glue on 10 liters of water. If a lime not slaked, before application I extinguish it in wooden enameled, and it is better in capacity from stainless steel. As when clearing a lime high temperature is formed, it is necessary to be careful, it is desirable to work wearing spectacles, and it is better not to approach to ware with a lime before the completion of its clearing. In other ware hot water I dissolve a copper vitriol. After clearing a lime I filter through a metal grid with a small cell. A deposit after filtering I throw out. Then the dissolved copper vitriol a thin stream I pour in in limy milk, I stir slowly thus with a stick. Then in solution I add glue and well everything I mix. Solution is ready.
Whitewashing of a garden I start at once, on the same day, when this solution is made. Next day the dried trees stand in the white dress. And in such condition they should stay to heat.
Now about the aforesaid is more detailed. Processing of a garden by three-percent bordeaux liquid destroys disputes of fungi of a kurchavost of leaves, mealy dew. And light or turquoise color of all crown protects it from solar burns, and also morozoboin.
Vlagozaryadka in a garden excludes a podmerzaniye of root system of trees. As frosts pass through dry soil more deeply, than through damp, condensed. Besides vlagozaryadkovy watering serves as a nutrient medium for root system during the winter period that is very important for trees. Thanks to autumn, early-spring watering of the next season is postponed to later time.
Mulchirovaniye of pristvolny circles serves as a thermos for root system of a tree. At hard winter frosts the mulch protects it from a podmerzaniye, and at early spring thaw – doesn’t pass to it heat that is very good as roots won’t get warm, so tree vegetation is late. Instead of happens early awakening of trees, there will be no also their early flowering that is especially important in gardening, especially for kostochkovy cultures, such as an apricot, a peach, a nectarine, a cherry plum, plum. But sometimes the earliest flowering of these garden cultures isn’t desirable, as thus they get under spring frosts.
Before the first watering of a garden a mulch from trunks otgrebayu, the bowl of a pristvolny circle in which the mulch plays a roller or buffer role for water keeping near a tree is formed. After watering that the earth didn’t burst, and also the ground crust which blocks access of oxygen to roots wasn’t formed, and also intake of nutrients, pristvolny circles I mulch (thickness of 5 cm) the same mulch which is in the roller of a pristvolny circle of a tree.
Winter whitewashing of trees is necessary in order that they didn’t suffer from solar burns, and also from morozoboin. Whitewashing we detain vegetation of trees, and at the same time and early flowering of a garden. Having applied above-mentioned receptions we thereby we detain garden flowering for 7-10 days. And it is very important in returnable spring frosts.
Sometimes gardeners partially, and even completely lose a crop of kostochkovy cultures. Generally it occurs in the southern areas of Ukraine, and also in the Crimea. So, for example, happened in 2007. Here to you my council on a similar case. If want to be the next years with a crop that execute all agroreceptions which are described by me in this article. Results will see. And now I advise to gardeners to make at least whitewashing of trees. Or in warm windows to process trees of 3 % bordeaux liquid.
I wish all gardeners of good luck and good harvests. With any questions address to the address: 50011, Krivoi Rog, Karelskaya St., 25, ph. 8-067-981-52-55.
