One, two - harvest! No-o... hard way

This gave us a plum. Neither his kind, no tribe, we do not know. Grandmother told the market that it's sort of pyramid, like a prune.

Grandmother said all right. Here we were just waiting for this wonderful harvest seven years. Fruits tied and fell. While you guessed do what it takes for a tree.

First I carefully prescribed for this article, that when they did, it came out very long :) And she remembered what else about the clay did not write... to stop and now writing schematically.

The soil

Plum has been planted on the site are not of us. At some point, she realized pour whole handfuls of crumbs egg shell and dolomite flour to deoxidize the soil and supply of calcium stone fruit culture.

Last year, we built a cellar, to the foot of the plum dripping clay. I had to dig. I think she liked clay. It also has all the minerals.

vermin

We have two problems: Aphids and May beetles. From the first I struggled, second underestimated. This year alone, we have carefully collected all the bugs.

The first two years the tree aphid is not allowed to grow. Folk remedies have helped very long. It was despair. One day a friend came by bicycle and sprayed some chemistry our plum. Aphids disappeared. For all my dislike for garden chemicals, I was glad. It is still the only case of a sharp intervention by a synthetic poison on our site.

Last year, the issue decided by a diatomite. This rock contains the remains of ancient diatoms, or rather their rich silicon shells. The structure is extremely porous. Hence diatomite phenomenal ability to absorb moisture. Insects are killed in this powder from dehydration.

It was a spring drought, 40 days. The tree trunks of the trees, I spread ground Diatomite. A watering away from the trunk. Not a single ant, no aphids! Then in times of dearth has slipped. Because ants again found the path to your favorite plum.

This year was the early spring preparation is 30+, then balls with boric acid (under the hay, that cats do not eat) and fitoverm summer sprinkled once. Diatomite could not buy ...

From a possible invasion of worms and caterpillars Lepidocide processed.

growth

From basal shoots in spring helped bandage from agrovoloknom. Completely wrapped around the trunk to the branch. Then he had to take to the tree could grow. The implication was, very much lush growth. This is my invention. Even a small break in the production of seedlings, plum gives a chance to gather strength for fruiting.

As the fertilized

• Last year, its manure in the fall overlaid in a circle.
• When I fertilize vegetables, there is always a solution or infusion in barrels or sprayer. All of this goes to the trees. Especially nothing navozhu for them.
• In autumn scattered Fertikov fall under the instruction.

How to improve immunity

For trees do protective cocktail: Ekoberin, Healthy Garden, Alirin B Gamair. It would be necessary each week. Yes, I often have to then fitoverm then Lepidocide spray, Cocktail quite rare.

It is best to raise immunity Flora S. The third year of its use. The difference is very noticeable with the way it was without her.

And, of course, were timely watering.

What do I do, what people do

• Not sprayed with chemicals.
• Do not paint white shading trunk. Because in our area there is no frost-crack and sunburn on the trunks. Insect whitewash does not help.
• Not insect repellent are planted plants such as marigolds, because not all of these pugalki help. I do not want to hope for them.
• I do not dig in the sink. There is an expression: hand does not rise, so my leg does not rise :) under the sink in my natural farming.
• Zaitsev we do not have mice Murka does not spoil the trees. Therefore, the winter did not protect the barrel.

All the same, much has been written...

And how do you solve the problem of plums?

I would be grateful for a subscription and chat :)
