Gardeners of Ukraine didn’t forget warm long autumn of 2008. Weather conditions allowed then to all of them to harvest in the gardens, to prepare them for approach of frosts.
I think that many gardeners know what agrotechnical receptions during this period it is necessary to apply to help the pets. I, for example, in the peach garden carry out the following autumn and winter receptions. After subsidence of 80-90 % of leaves all garden I process 3 % bordeaux liquid. Then to all garden I do a winter vlagozaryadka. Before the beginning of frosts in a garden I mulch pristvolny circles. It is possible to apply foliage, sawdust, coniferous fir twigs, straw, a sunflower peel to a mulch etc. The thickness of a mulch should be 20-30 see.
In warm winter days, that is "January" or February windows, trees in a garden it is necessary to whitewash. I bleach shtamby and skeletal branches, and it is better to make whitewashing of all tree.
For such procedure I take 2 kg of a lime and 200 g of a copper vitriol on 10 l. waters. A lime I extinguish separately, in wooden, clay or in capacity from stainless steel. As when clearing a lot of heat, other capacities is allocated, for example, from glass or plastic, for this purpose don’t suit.
Copper vitriol I dissolve in warm water in separate ware. After clearing a lime I filter through a gauze or a small grid. A deposit I throw out. Then the dissolved copper vitriol a thin stream I pour in in limy milk, thus I stir slowly.
For the best sticking it is possible to add oboyny glue or one whetstone of a laundry soap on 10 l of solution.
Soap it is necessary to cut a knife thin slices, and then to fill in with water and perekipyatit to liquid weight. Then this weight I pour in in pobelochny solution of a lime and a copper vitriol. Having well mixed, it is possible to start whitewashing of trees. Solution I fill in in a sprayer and I process them all trees.
I advise to gardeners who didn’t execute these agroreceptions in the autumn, to carry out spraying to the winter period. I do not speak already about a garden vlagozaryadka, and also about processing of trees of 3 % by bordeaux liquid though wouldn’t prevent to make it also. But to whitewash them in warm days of January or February it is necessary. And also follows urgently zamulchirovat pristvolny circles.
What will give these two operations? Whitewashing will keep garden cultures from solar burns and morozoboin. Also notice, not bleached trees begin earlier vegetation, so and flowering. And it is undesirable, as such gardens often get under spring frosts which affect them perniciously.
What does the mulch give to a garden?
It protects root system of trees from a podmerzaniye. And also carries out a thermos role. During the spring period at plusovy temperature the mulch protects them from warming up, saves from early vegetation, removing it began at least for 8-12 days. So whitewashing of trees and a mulchirovaniye of pristvolny circles let’s to your pets get under spring frosts which often happen recently and in the southern regions of Ukraine.
I will give an example from a personal experience. Peaches I grow up 22 years. The winter 2005 – at us in Krivoi Rog was the 2006th very severe, air temperature reached to – 32oS. At many gardeners then in old gardens at peach trees fruit kidneys froze. At me, thanks to a good vlagozaryadka for the winter, and also a mulchirovaniya of pristvolny circles, a garden and these frosts sustained. The mulch didn’t give them access to roots.
Heard from many gardeners that a peach – the culture short-lived, grows 4-5 years, then perishes.
I want to answer at once, it not so. At me, for example, to separate trees for 22 years. They normally grow in my garden and give excellent crops, on 100 and more kgs of fruits from a tree.
To such culture as a peach the competent agrotechnology is very necessary. And all agroreceptions should be carried out in due time.
Our gardeners, often referring to what the peach freezes, are afraid or don’t want to land it at itself on a site? Prefer grapes. But after all the agrotechnology of cultivation of a peach is almost identical with grapes agrotechnology. And even it is simpler: it is not necessary a wire for a lane, and also stakes for support.
I advise to all gardeners and summer residents it is more courageous to approach to such culture as a peach. Will land at least some grades of different terms of maturing for the family. It is sure that your pets will thank juicy beautiful fruits which with the great pleasure awake to eat, and the main thing – your children and grandsons. After all our peaches much more surpass the same in flavoring qualities Turkish or Spanish. Import fruits, by the way, so nabalzamirovany pesticides that if our buyer knew it, he not only wouldn’t began to buy them, and even to look at them refused.
And still, visit at me a peach garden in maturing of fruits. Krasotishha! Bright orange fruits it is powerful from 200 to 500 g hang on trees. It is simple a miracle!
To all gardeners and summer residents I wish in New year of a good health, successes and udach, and the main thing – weathers without spring frosts!
