Podzimny sowing - my favorite, not reliable backup
Most master class with podzimny sowing, guess the time.
What to plant
A set of suitable seeds, usually ready. It may be appropriate carrot varieties, root and leaf parsley, dill (we self-seeding), onion Nigella suitable varieties (for annual crops) and salad.
I also planted beets, it is believed that this is wrong, it goes into the color, but ate svekolku before. And the color is not all gone. We must immediately, at the first sign tsvetushnosti, eat it. Normal roots. This year, perhaps also planted.
Many colors can be sown before winter. However, the beauty with bald spots is obtained, because not all the seeds sprout :) logical manner to obtain seedlings.
The November task
- Sow the seeds in a prepared recess in the crust of ice
- To the desired depth
- Sprinkle with warm earth
If all the right thing to do, watering the young seedlings do not have to. They will drink the world's best moisture: melt waters. Therefore love podzimny seeding. cultures to cold, too, will be at the height of winter, survived, spring, the more will survive.
Difficulties
- Seeds need not any, and the fresh and cold-resistant, without chemical treatment
- Attacks will be up to 50% even under ideal conditions, ie, not all the seeds sprout
- If planted too early, or in the event of untimely thaw does not rise
That is, we run the risk of producing in late autumn sowing. However, the risk is usually justified. In the south, it would not become a risk, there is no normal winter. If anyone has experience, please share with readers southerners.
What to do
What I write for my soil. She was black earth, after the collective farm became gray podzolic now somewhere. Matters and the climate. I Kursk. You need to make adjustments on the region and on the ground.
- Rather late, for example, in mid-November, to make furrows in the soil fertilized with a depth of 3 cm. Previously, it is not necessary, can blur the rain. Between the grooves 20 cm OK to leave.
- Pour a bucket of land and put it in a warm place (we have the cold aisle, just not cold). Then sprinkle the seeds of this land, more or less thick depending on the culture. Layer was approximately 2 times greater than the spring. Keep in mind a few seeds are sucked into the soil.
- If rain is not expected, it is desirable to furrow a little shed to pre-formed crust of ice.
- After freezing and leave quickly drill sow our culture, is 2 times thicker than the spring. Can be and less. Just have to remember that not all rise.
It is believed that podzimny sowing poorly kept. In fact, it depends on the weather. It happens that well kept.
What still love podzimny crop, pests do not have time to attack seedlings.
And nice to know that you have something already growing when there was not even a spring planting.
And you sow the seeds in the fall? What kind?
I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
