During summer hot time the truck farmer quite often has problems with watering: how to water, when, how many. In the publication offered truck farmers on all these questions irrefragable answers are given.
To WATER: WHEN AND AS
TO WATER: WHEN AND HOW?
It is better to water beds once a week, but to wet all roots. Superficial watering will help only to weeds.
There is an opinion that it is not necessary to water tomatoes. Such it is possible only where the deep arable layer, is rich with organic chemistry which stores moisture.
On other soils at shortage of moisture and calcium you will see black spots of topmost decay on fruits soon. And the cabbage in a heat at all ceases raise. You will well water – you will rescue: evaporating moisture, the plant reduces the temperature.
Onions and garlic demand an individual approach. Plentiful and regulyaryony watering is necessary to them during active growth and moisture is absolutely not necessary during bulb maturing.
And if the onions stopped in growth because of shortage of moisture, it undertakes at once formation of a turnip and no force any more will force it grow.
Process of formation of a bulb is irreversible. Also there will be it, premature, small. So – water, don’t water … Garlic after a stop can continue growth and sometimes doesn’t manage to form a normal head. So at the beginning of vegetation cherish, care, water. Let’s dry up.

TO WHOM THE SUN, AND TO WHOM – TENEK
For faster development a certain duration of light day is necessary to plants.
Take out a partial zateneniye at long (more than 12 hours) day a swede, peas vegetable, cabbage, onions, carrots, parsley, a radish, turnip, a garden radish, salad, fennel, spinach.
Demand good illumination at short (less than 12 hours) day a water-melon, an eggplant, a melon, cucumbers, pepper, a beet, a tomato, a pumpkin, the southern grades of haricot.
Some grades of cucumbers, tomatoes, peas, the haricots deduced in midlatitudes, are neutral to light.

TO TOMATOES ARE USEFUL … BANANAS!
Tomatoes badly transfer sharp differences of temperatures.
- That roots didn’t cool down at night, it is possible to put the plastic bottles filled with water near plants. In the afternoon they will heat up on the sun, and at night to give warmly to tomatoes.
- If to cover a bottom of landing holes krapivny leaves and to cover them with a layer of well rerotting manure, excellent fertilizer will turn out. Decaying, the nettle will supply tomatoes with nutrients. It is possible to put when landing to a bottom of holes of a skin from bananas – it is a good source of potassium.
- Richly with potassium and fertilizer from a fast-growing grade of a comfrey. Densely fill green leaves a bucket and fill in them with water. 1-2 weeks later filter water and water with it tomatoes.

FENNEL CONVEYOR
Fennel is sowed by almost all gardeners and truck farmers, but to grow up its dense p green it is possible far not to everyone.
Some constantly leave on beds a part of fennel for a free obsemeneniye on a site, then early in the spring of fennel ascends much, but the second half of summer comes, there comes a conservation time, and in enough the majority already has no green fennel. It would be necessary to have the conveyor.
This, apparently, and not difficult culture has an idle time the secrets. Fennel dense and green only on friable soils with enough of organic substance grows. On soils where before crops of fennel lime application is made or ashes are brought, landings of fennel redden.
It is impossible to sow fennel and in the shaded places, here plants will strongly be extended and will be pale. That fennel early didn’t go to an arrow, the soil should be held always damp, without allowing its strong drying.
At fennel, as well as at other umbellate cultures, the germ of a seed is protected by a film of essential oil, and to sprout a seed will begin only when the fat film round a germ will be forced out by moisture. Therefore at early crops, on an ice crust, it is preferable to sow fennel dry seeds. Later, before an annual May-June drought and at summer crops, seeds of fennel are desirable for presoaking for 2-3 days.
To avoid a souring, it is necessary to change water of not less than 2 times per day. In the last water it is useful to add any stimulator (silk, epin, zircon, an usyokoritel of growth of DV 47-4, humates) or it is a little aloe juice. After that 2-3 more days it is possible to take seeds in a wet rag, then they will turn up. Before crops it is necessary to dry seeds on a newspaper to flowability.
Sometimes recommend to presoak seeds in hot water to accelerate removal of essential oil, but make such recommendations that seeds cook and don’t give shoots. When using hot water it is necessary to maintain strictly temperature not above 45-50°C and time of endurance no more than 25-30 minutes with the subsequent cooling in cold water. All recommendations with soaking of seeds in a thermos and others, without the indication of temperature and time, are fraught with consequences with loss vsxozhesti.
The soil before crops of fennel is desirable for fertilizing rerotting manure or compost or to spill grooves the dissolved (1:10) infusion of a feltwort. It is useful to introduce in ryadka and difficult mineral fertilizers with the content of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium approximately in an identical ratio (nitrofoska, azofoska, kristallin and others) 10-20 g on 1 kv2.
To sow fennel it is better not a narrow line, and a tape, in the width to 5 see. To sow seeds it is better zigzags, then at a prorezhivaniye of a plant won’t fall. Prorezhivaniye begin with a phase of 2-3 real leaves and in some stages, gradually.
During the spring-and-summer period fennel is desirable for sowing with an interval of 2-3 weeks. During the droughty period of a furrow previously water, sow seeds after moisture will completely be absorbed.
Depth of seal of seeds no more than 1-2 see Ryadki to fill up from above it is better humus, in the spring it is good to use nonwoven ukryvny a material, and during hot time a covering a green grass. During growth of a plant don’t feed up. In need of the droughty period carry out watering, seldom, but it is plentiful. The rassadny way of cultivation of fennel, especially sectional grades is pertinent.
The crop keeps up in 3-4 weeks after shoots when the greens reach height 15-20 see. Usual fennel pull out together with a root, and seldom growing sectional fennel can be plucked. Fennel in a butonizatsiya, before flowering is most fragrant. At this time it dry, zamorazhivayug, pickle, flavor them vinegar.
