Why it is necessary to plant onions, turnip before winter (harvest in July and other benefits). Now I will do so every year
True say, rules are there to be broken. At its experience that onions should be planted in the fall.
In that year, the way I read on the Internet. Positive comments from other truckers forced me to take a chance. I landed on the bed of a small sample of only about one meter on not to spend Onion and effort for nothing. But the result I really liked, so I share information about the winter onions here.
What good is a winter Onion
I have to say. I do not claim that the winter turnip better and more profitable to the usual spring. But it is also necessary in the garden. Here are the main advantages:
- Small Onion, planted before winter, almost not bolting. For me it is a big plus, because I onion arrows bring only headache.
- Bow rises very early. About 3-4 weeks before spring. As soon as the weather conditions will be suitable for the culture. Spring sun starts to warm and makes its a sure thing - the emerald feathers emerge from the earth, and turnip in a bed starts to load up the sides.
- Early germination - protection from pests. Onions growing as insect pests has not lyutuyut. In addition, onions, seasoned winter cold has also enviable immunity to diseases. The benefit is obvious - the gardener becomes less worries.
- Winter onions are usually largerThan the old fellow.
- AND the most pleasant - green onions feathers appear almost immediately after the snow melts, and turnip to keep pace by around July.
- On the liberated after harvest time to grow radish, Chinese cabbage, and your favorite greens.
I plant onions two ways at once. Winter onion family provides a green pen until July (it intercepts the baton spring) and juicy Repka kitchen. In "winter road" there is a small disadvantage: he is not as well kept as the summer. Therefore, I plant spring to make it supplies for the winter. I advise all of my subscribers try the best planting scheme "With onions all year round!"
How to plant onions in the winter
At first it was hard to figure out when it is planted. Theoretical rules are:
- put for 2 weeks before the onset of frost-resistant, because many need to rooting;
- podgadat date so that the feathers do not have time to grow back more than 1 cm.
Other, clearer advicePrescribes wait day temperature several days will stay in the area 5-6 ° C, and then take up the landing. It is important to look at the weather forecast, there are no plans to Mother Nature's sudden warming. Anything can happen, yes.
But in the end I did not bother. Just planted with winter garlic. I'll take the land around October 10-15, and never made the right decision. I think such dates suitable for the whole middle belt.
The algorithm is:
- Pre-prepare a bed - like a winter garlic. It is important that the earth has had time prosest to rain (or after watering in dry autumn). Otherwise, ground prosyadet then will drag down the bulb.
- Purchases sevok small size (less than 1 cm in diameter). For the modest size of its more abusive dubbed "ovsyuzhkoy". From my own experience I would say that in the end he will surpass the size of a large spring Onion.
- Make a groove depth of 5-7 cm and decompose there bulbs.
- Sprinkle the ground.
- IMPORTANT! We make a shelter for the winter. Fit anything but the film - under it sopreet. Draped agrovoloknom, sawdust, spruce branches, dry leaves, grass clippings - that, yes there are.
