Why pickle tomatoes and cucumbers
Meet my tomatoes and cucumbers on June 23:
Here are some more leaves:
As you can see, they are healthy. I didn’t persecute anything.
Why am I writing about this? Recently, I came across several articles and videos with one type of advice: for prevention, vegetables SHOULD be poisoned with such and such substances. Otherwise, they will definitely get sick.
The authors have hundreds and thousands of bushes. Of course, not for personal consumption so much. Therefore, they cannot do otherwise. There is a real danger of being left without a crop. If we get sick, we will survive, and for them it is a lot of money, an image.
Something, but diseases appear, indeed, on every site. But, in my opinion, if you wish, you can not poison your vegetables for prevention. What is there to do? Everyone decides for himself. I can share what I did.
It's not a fact that my bushes will not get sick. There is only hope. To my surprise, this year there is a heat, but there is no top rot. I honestly thought that I would always have it.
About the soil
- The soil of tomatoes is mulched with hay immediately after planting for permanent residence, cucumbers are now mulching, hay has just been brought.
- The tomato beds are warm, with the remains of last year's healthy tomatoes.
- For cucumbers, bulk compost, 15 centimeters.
- Before planting, the beds were spilled with biological products.
How to remove stepsons and leaves
- Stepson every morning so that the stepsons do not take the juices from the bush. Sometimes I don't notice my stepson. Then he has 2 fates: I will leave the strong, most likely, I will remove the weak, even the big one.
- Cucumbers were blinded by the first 4 sinuses, but then new cucumbers grew there.
- Leaves on the shore, I will write an article about them.
I don’t know how to you, tomatoes plucked to the middle of the bush at the end of June seem to me like plucked chickens. I understand if the real danger of diseases, and often the danger is theoretical.
Those 2 tomato bushes that I showed in this article are low-leafed, I only partially removed the lower leaves from them, because they turned yellow.
How to fertilize tomatoes
- When planting, I put long-playing fertilizers in the holes, 2 liters of vermicompost per bush and poured them with amino acids
- I fertilized the leaf several times, if interested, I will write with what
- Fertilized at the root three times
For cucumbers, only root dressings, and without amino acids, but as much compost as you like.
How I watered
I watered it according to the weather. In the heat, everyone has a liter per bush, more cucumbers. This is taking into account that the water flooded during landing continues to work.
Something like that. I can, of course, write more. But in this article I just wanted to show that it is not necessary to imitate bloggers to poison vegetables, especially with a substance of hazard class 2. Hundreds and thousands of bushes are one thing, our summer cottages and subsidiary farms are another.
How do you feel about drugs for disease prevention?
Paying attention to the hazard class?
I would be grateful for your subscription and communication :)
