September in the garden: the list of urgent matters

Harvest, fertilize, treat, prune, plant trees and shrubs

The conditions in which gardeners get their crops, so individual, it is difficult to draw up a plan of work for a certain period, the right to all equally well. Every gardener working on a definite plan, which comes after a long period of trial and error depending on the region, soil type, climate, site location, etc... Says consultant FORUMHOUSE Mountelf, «I have this plan is usually only for the next week, t. To. The weather is lost in the hazy distance." Therefore, in this article we will look at the most basic, universal September horticultural concerns, which go forth from almost everyone.

September - the height of the apple harvest, all gardeners harvested late varieties. It is important not to overdo on the tree apples, which will be put on long-term storage: to harvest lasts longer, it is removed as soon as the seeds darken. In this case, the apples should easily come off the branches, but not to lose yourself.

Increase the shelf life of apples and pears may be at the stage of harvesting.

Firstly, this is done only in dry weather. Second, the fruit of the tree is removed gently without squeezing, without damaging the stalk, without all those twitching and twisting. Harvested, starting from the lower branches, gradually moving to the top.

At this time, it is necessary to strengthen control over the apple later varieties, the fruit which is not yet ripe. Check daily for apple spoiled fruit, remove them and bury somewhere far away. This also applies to fruit drop.

The trees, which had been removed with the harvest, you can feed. Fertilizing should be a well-functioning system - a single loading dose of fertilizer high yields not achieved.

In autumn the trees are fed phosphorus fertilizers (they determine the quality of the next harvest) and potassium (they will protect the tree in frost), and nitrogen – in the spring.

In the first five years of life of apple fertilizers are applied to the tree trunks, in the following years - the projection of the crown. To prevent damage to the roots, fertilizer buried carefully at different depths - the closer to the bole, the smaller. fertilizer dose depends on the age of the plants, but on average each tree should get about 5 kilograms of organics, 9-12 grams of potassium fertilizers, and 30-40 grams of superphosphate per square meter.

Manure introduced after the rains or as follows, to a depth of about half a meter, soaking tree trunks.

We must understand that feeding - this early autumn compensation to trees 1) ready for winter; 2) laid stocks roots; 3) laid their branches.

Fruit bushes also need feeding. Organic phosphorus-potassium fertilizer is applied during the autumn digging the soil under every bush. Before that shrubs are cut all illiquid branches and twigs growing out of the ground. At the time of digging should not be forgotten that the currants likes to loosen the ground deeply and raspberry - on the contrary.

In September, it is necessary to carefully examine each tree for fungi tinder. Each mushroom is removed, the place where he had settled on a tree, trimmed, disinfected with a solution of copper sulphate and smeared garden pitch.

At the end of the month the fruit trees are sprayed with 4% urea solution. It will be dressing, and the scab and prevention of many pests. Spraying is carried out after the harvest but before leaf fall.

Strictly speaking, if your tree healthy, this is possible and stop. And do not rush to diagnose his apple: in late summer and early autumn of spots on the leaves - is not always a sign of disease. Rather, they indicate a lack of power. In general, the autumn garden treatment against pests - employment, in terms of FORUMHOUSE experts ambiguous.

The bulk of the pest in early August for the winter hiding, and no one not get poison. And the same goes for hibernation weevil in June.

By the way, Sadovnik62 for 15 years of their orchard in the autumn processed 2-3 times, and in August: it was so damp that mushrooms grew even on the pavement.

Next september care: whitewashing the trunks painted garden. In early spring, when after long cloudy days will come shining-sun, it will help to protect the trees from the burns, which can lead to the death of the cortex, and in extreme cases - death of the tree.

Whitewash trunks better now. Spring - only for the design of a garden site.

Very young trees do not bleach, and wrapped with white PP: You can even use the bags from under the sugar.

If September is planned planting of new trees, some two weeks before making planting hole. It is not so simple as it seems. A common mistake when planting apples and pears, "like tomatoes" that subsequently will certainly affect the condition and productivity of plants.

A long time ago, more than 30 years ago, the venerable professor-growers have taught us that under any fruit tree planting hole should be done at least 80 cm in depth and not less than 1 m in width and to fill it with fertilizers and compost in such a way that, prior fruiting nothing make.

What crops to plant in the fall? In theory, pome and stone fruit - in the spring. In practice, Forumhouse experts agree that the seedling has grown somewhere, so anyway, when his transplant. More important than the quality of seedlings: the lack of freezing and the degree of development of the root system. The only thing: do fit in a period of rest, but what is undeniable advantage of the autumn planting, as it is in rich choice of plants.

In the fall of varieties to choose more. Spring nurseries doprodayut that could not sell in the fall.

And, of course, September - the best time for planting shrubs. Currant, honeysuckle, raspberry, cranberry and gooseberries are planted in late September, but before the onset of cold weather. Before planting a sapling at night put in the water to the roots were filled with moisture, then the plant is better to take root.

Currants put simply, on a sunny, level ground, at a distance of not less than a meter from one another. Seedling was placed in a large hole, which is already pre-made humus or peat.

It is recommended to plant at the same site of a currant of different ripening.

Gooseberries are planted, the seedlings are buried at 5-7 cm and away from each other, two meters. Closer to winter, the seedlings will need shelter for the winter, and the branches of fruit-bearing shrubs bends to the ground, press down planks and covered potato leaves and leaves.

As for the raspberries, then this kind of Princess and the Pea, and not culture. Firstly, it is important to not dry up the roots of seedlings. They can not leave for a considerable time without moisture, and at night before planting it is necessary to keep in the water! Raspberry plant in the prepared trench depth of about 70 cm: to the bottom of the trenches are laid vegetable the remains, and then covered them with earth, then, not buried, raspberries are planted at a distance of about 30 cm and par.

Planting raspberries, it immediately cut off. On the surface of the barrel should remain not higher than 10 cm.

"Adult" raspberries pruned immediately after collecting the last crop, but often gardeners in the summer before her "not reached". September gives the last chance for this to work, and not delay, because the shoots are losing flexibility. Raspberries cut almost at the very root pruning exposed all otplodonosivshie shoots. Of the young shoots are cut only the sick.

The rest of the stalks connect several units together and bends to the ground. The dry autumn raspberries should be watered - it's good impact on the future harvest. And the roots of raspberry does not grow in all directions, into the ground digged "limiters" - slate plate. They also restrict the roots of seabuckthorn. All this is done in September.
