Beautiful protection
Marigolds, unpretentious and blooming all summer long, are planted around the perimeter of the garden or in the aisles of open ground or greenhouses so that their honey-spicy aroma scares off pests.
Namely - aphids, white cabbage, Colorado potato beetle, onion fly, bear, weevil.
Without umbrellas
Dill does not bloom longer when planted with a "bouquet", for which you need to pour 1-2 teaspoons of seeds into one hole at once.
Sugar syrup
To attract beneficial pollinating insects to any plants, they should be sprayed with a solution of water and sugar or honey during the flowering period.
Valuable spruce branches
It is recommended to use branches of coniferous trees for winter shelter of cultivated plants for a number of reasons - they insulate and at the same time provide ventilation, and also scare away mice that are capable of everything until spring gnaw.
Universal fertilizer
It exists and is made from young nettle greens. It is put into a barrel, filled with water and insisted for 10-14 days. There are very few vegetables that do not like nettles - these are onions and legumes.
Sand
To sow small seeds evenly, they should be mixed with coarse river sand. In addition, with this technique, you can not sprinkle them with earth, which for a number of crops is fraught with slow germination.
Mulching
Thanks to him, a hard crust does not form on the surface of the earth, which prevents the "breathing" of the roots.
Plus, mulching keeps moisture in the ground longer, prevents weeds from growing and overheating of the soil.
Peroxide
Instead of using store chemicals to decontaminate seeds before sowing, you can use regular hydrogen peroxide. In addition, it speeds up their germination.
Accelerated maturation
The fruits of many crops, for example, tomatoes and peppers, ripen faster when the air contains more carbon dioxide.
This can be organized in a greenhouse by placing a container with a mullein in it and stirring it periodically.
Delayed watering
To provide the plants with moisture on days when it is not possible to water them often, you can bury plastic bottles with a volume of 1.5-2 liters among the plantings with an interval of about 1 m.
Beforehand, you need to make more holes in them. Then it remains only to pour water into the buried containers and gradually it will go into the soil to the roots of the plants.
