4 years sow green manure
This year is especially noticeable was the result of the application of green manure in the country. Dug garlic, digging up a flower bed next to the culture and it was so easy that time and much effort is spent on it at least. Here's how to help facilitate green manure cottagers life. I'll tell you about other favorable attributes, which I was very pleased with this year.
Earth has become very fertileAlmost all cultures have given a very good harvest. From fertilizers or fertilizing this summer, we used only green manure, ash and spraying the solution of which I spoke. In early summer or late May (can not remember exactly) watered once chicken droppings all.
But from the manure we refused for a long time. 5 years ago we sold my grandmother's plot with a house and moved into the next big village. And then once bought and added to the manure, it was the first and last time.
This summer cottage season I hardly unconsolidated beds! It is such a joy for me! Frankly, I'm in the village (at his dacha) ride has become rare, as there are watered my relatives. Or after irrigation or after rains
the land is not kameneet, as it was before. And how much of this time and effort was spent... The soil is loose and, if I may say so, air and light. Even weeds are easily pulled out all the roots. Maybe that's why there are fewer weeds, too?Generally from green manure, I think perepreva became more and because earthworms in the ground just a dime a dozen. Only now I'm afraid not descend there on a full earthworms moles site. Who has not thought about moles settled there, where they will be full of food, especially as my neighbor says, they love earthworms.
Well, back to the topic... I used green manure in the autumn sowing mustard and lupine in the spring. BUT there is one big mustard shortcoming - is that after mustard, not all can be planted culture. Therefore mustard recommend, even if the sow is in the territory of the garden, where planting potatoes. And by late autumn feast on delicious mustard green leaves in a salad I'd like to.
In general, in the first place of green weight and the ability to accumulate nitrogen in the bumps (and this is important for fertilizer) for me standing lupins. In second place was formerly mustard, but now Phacelia (article about it - Instead Manure - sow phacelia), Which is the same as lupins, can be sown before any crops are not afraid of the same pests. Some gardeners say wireworms disappearedWhen they began to sow between the rows of potatoes phacelia.
In general, from their own experience I verified that the green manure - can completely replace the manure and bring much greater benefits in the form of giving the land of lightness and looseness.
