Dug potatoes - we must also cultivate the land

All fireworks, gardeners comrades, potato diggers and their sympathizers! On the agenda - autumn work in the garden, which my grandmother for some reason, proudly called hacienda.

It's somewhere in the ideal world in September characteristic villa covered with an orange tone and autumn flowers, family sitting in the garden perfectly retracted at the table with hot tea and cake, baked with care mistress. On my cottage chaos! And if your reality is also not the same as the pictures on the Internet, an inferiority complex should not disturb you. "This is the norm!"

And the alarm you must work with the piece of land on which grew potatoes. Glory to all the gods, had already dug. Culture seems simple, familiar to all, but generous to unpleasant surprises. If the fall does not raise an ensign, acutely Edged rake, and not to rush to treatment, then the next year, there is unlikely to grow something worthwhile.

The first rule is that you must remember: left tops - it is not comme il faut. Even if she sgrablena in neat piles. And the fact that they look neat, it seems only site owners! In fact, the potato leaves, thrown on the ground digging, looks disgusting. I get rid of the weeds immediately.

But here the question is not only in the aesthetics. Unlucky gardener thinks tops, pereprev during the winter, will be organic fertilizer to improve and blah blah soil fertility.

In fact, this mass is nothing more than a shelter all sorts of bacteria, fungi and pests. They will be very grateful ovoschevodu if he would give them the opportunity to spend the winter without any problems in yesterday's potato field. How can you not remember late blight, which, incidentally, is very gracious to Bulba?

But smart grower knows how to make candy out of the weeds. Potato tops it is necessary to burn, and the resulting ash will go to the entire garden fertilizer.

That's where the good, but not in digestion tops when it came up for his acquittal lazy growers! There and calcium, and potassium, and even a pinch of everything.

But most importantly, fly safe and deoxidize the soil once or twice! Take note anyone with garden suffers a deviation from the ideal of a neutral acid-alkaline balance.

Well, to hell with it, with the tops. Go on a fascinating journey through the autumn hacienda on.

If you have had wireworms and nematodes, cease to believe that green manure, some traps urine solutions and deacidification of the soil will help to deal with the problem. You will spend many years in the fight against pests, with the result, again, affected tubers. But, perhaps, you feel the experimenter)))

Not willing to throw away their time on a waste? Buy chemical products intended: I recommend "Bazudin". Use only according to the instructions, so I will not detail all the paint.

Go further. On the whole area where the potatoes grow, sow mustard as a green manure. The main thing is it time to mow until the stems are not hardened. It somehow just improve the fertility of the soil, and not the tops. Potatoes sucked out of the ground a bunch of stuff, and we have to make up the reserve. And at the same time scatter in the field of potash and phosphate fertilizers. Or at least "NPK", where there is everything.

And next year the land will be after the potatoes, as good as new. I liked the advice? Click "Thumbs up!"
