Plant a cabbage under the plastic bottles. Excellent survival rate of seedlings
Cabbage seedlings I planted April 20 under a small parnichok of agrovoloknom under the arches. For culture chose several types: late-ripening (cultivar "Wintering"), mid (variety "Belarus 455") and color (grade "Snowball 123").
Many plants have already shown in the third and fourth true leaf, so can be planted to a permanent place. Layout of seedlings in a checkerboard pattern depends on the varieties of cabbage (30 cm between plants for the early varieties of 40-50 cm for the late and middle grades).
What you need
plastic bottles;
scissors;
seedlings of cabbage;
water;
compost;
shovel;
humus;
ash.
Step-by-step instruction
1. To choose a sunny area for planting cabbage. It is desirable that this place had not grown crucifers for at least 3-4 years. The best precursors for cabbage - tomatoes, potatoes, pumpkin, legumes.
2. Identify and make the hole for planting a shovel in a checkerboard pattern. The distance between the holes - 50 cm, the depth of pits - 10 cm.
3. An hour before landing to water the seedlings, so she pulls out a lump of earth, thus less risk of damage to the roots.
4. Make fertilizer (humus, compost, ash) in the wells, mixed with vegetable garden earth.
5. Pour into prepared recess seedlings under 0.5 L of water.
6. When the water soaks into the ground, to get the seedlings gently with a clod of earth and set each to the wells. Thus it is necessary to hold with one hand for the plant, and the other to fill seedling soil before cotyledon leaves.
7. Compact the soil around the plant, and outline the circle around the seedling.
8. Drizzle planted seedlings are not at the root, and round cabbage. Water gradually reaches the roots.
9. Zamulchirovat root circle of compost to the soil does not form a crust.
10. Take a plastic bottle of 5 liters and cut their bottom.
11. Cover the top of the plant containers. That they do not toppled by the wind, sprinkle a little ground on the sides.
You can take plastic bottles1.5 l and cut, if seedlings are still small (about 3 leaflets).
Plastic bottles will play the role of miniparnichka that will protect against adverse conditions.
Watering plants can be carefully right through the neck.
When the plants take root, there will be more leaves, you can remove the bottle.
