Top dressing of fruit trees in summer

What to use?

1. The easiest and fastest way to feed your green pet is to water once a week with mineral water, which contains numerous mineral compounds in low concentrations. For irrigation, you should choose non-carbonated or slightly carbonated water of high mineralization.

2. Another way of feeding with home remedies is a vegetable broth, which remains after all the root crops. It contains enough nutrients necessary for indoor plants. Use it 2 times a week, but remember that the broth should not be salty.

3. Not everyone knows that coffee grounds and tea leaves are excellent organic fertilizers.

4. Coffee is ideal for certain flower crops, namely acidophilic species that live on substrates with high acidity, such as azaleas, camellias, heather or ferns. Due to its high potassium content, coffee grounds stimulate profuse flowering and improve soil structure. It is enough to feed 1-2 times a month, mixing the thick with the top layer of soil.

The tea leaves applied to the soil increases its air permeability and gradually decomposes, provides the flower with the necessary nutrients. The tannins of the tea leaf create especially favorable conditions for the development of the root system of flowering plants.

5. Eggshells are another valuable ingredient in home fertilizers for indoor flowers. It can be crushed and mixed with the topsoil, or soaked in water and watered with the resulting infusion. However, this feeding method is not suitable for everyone.

The shells contain nitrogen and calcium carbonate, so crops that prefer an alkaline or neutral pH environment should be fertilized.

6. A very useful home fertilizer is banana peel, which is poured over with water and left for 3-4 days. The prepared infusion is used for watering.

7. Watering nettle, chamomile or sage herbal tea once a week will improve the growth and flowering of your green pets, and valerian tea will increase the number of buds. In addition, infusions disinfect the soil, preventing the development of fungal infections and pest infestation.

8. Coal has many valuable properties. Small pieces or tablets of coal are added to the peat-bark mixture. It is an ideal soil component for orchids and other epiphytes from tropical forests. The addition of coal in the form of a powder acts as a medicine: it disinfects the soil and "wounds" obtained after cutting off shoots or roots.

9. Aspirin tablets increase the immunity of indoor flowers, making them more resistant to various diseases. Dissolve 2-3 tablets of salicylic acid in water intended for irrigation every two months.

10. Every 2-3 weeks it is useful to water the plants with water with the addition of beer. Such dressings are especially useful for ficuses and flowering plants.

11. In turn, ferns and ivy love ... milk, but do not overdo it. Just add a little milk and water it once a month.

12. When planting indoor violets (Saintpaulias), put a few rusty nails in the pot, which will provide abundant, long-lasting, vibrant flowering and lush growth.

13. Yeast diluted in water releases a large amount of B vitamins, phytohormones and other nutrients that can stimulate the process of cell division, mineralize the substrate and activate the action of beneficial microorganisms. To obtain a yeast solution, dilute about 10 grams of live yeast in 1 liter of warm water, add a spoonful of sugar.After 2 hours, the solution can be used for watering in the ratio - one part of yeast infusion to five parts of water.

Autumn fertilizers for the garden

In the fall, the harvest is usually already harvested. Of course, there are winter crops. For example, when planting winter garlic, the soil must be prepared in late August - early September. To do this, 10 kg of humus, 1 glass of chalk, 2 tbsp. potassium sulfate and 1 tbsp. superphosphate.

Planting garlic before winter - all the subtleties of planting with chives We will tell you how to plant garlic correctly in the fall.

But it is unlikely that winter onions and garlic will occupy your entire garden. Therefore, the freed soil can be properly fertilized, without fear of burning the delicate roots of the plants. What fertilizers does a garden need in the fall?

Organic fertilizers for the vegetable garden

Overripe manure or compost is applied every 3-4 years for digging at the rate of 3-4 kg per 1 sq. M.

Poultry manure is a more concentrated fertilizer. Therefore, it is brought in at the rate of 2 kg per 1 square meter of the garden.

Soil fertilized with ash will be especially liked by cabbage in spring.

Also, this fertilizer is applied when preparing a site for potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, radishes, dill, carrots, parsley, peas, beans, beets, watercress. If you apply ash every few years, about 1 kg can be consumed per 1 square meter. But if you feed the plants more often, 1 cup per square meter will be enough for most of your green pets. Ash is not only an excellent source of minerals, but also reduces soil acidity.

Ash - what kind of fertilizer is it, and how to use it correctly Ash is not just a non-combustible residue after combustion, but also a valuable micronutrient fertilizer. In our material - everything about how ash is useful to plants, how to use ash as fertilizer, how to dilute ash for feeding, what is spraying with an ash solution ...

And in the case of onions and garlic, ash can be a prophylactic agent that protects against root rot. To do this, in the fall for digging, you can add up to 2 glasses of ash per 1 sq. M.

Siderata as an autumn fertilizer

Siderata are plants with a powerful root system and a rapidly growing green mass. They can be sown after harvest and then mowed and embedded in the soil. In the process of decomposition, such plants enrich the earth with nutrients.

Legumes can be used as siderates (field peas, lentils, clover, annual lupine, spring vetch, alfalfa, sweet clover); cereals (spring oats and barley, millet, winter varieties of rye and wheat). Phacelia, sunflower, buckwheat, amaranth, marigolds have proven themselves well as green manure.

What green manures can be sown in the fall after harvesting We will tell you how to improve the soil with the help of autumn planting of green manure plants.

Mineral autumn fertilizers for the garden

The most popular autumn fertilizer is superphosphate, which, due to its not too rapid decomposition, is excellent for applying to the soil in the wettest season. Ordinary superphosphate is applied on average at the rate of 40-50 g per 1 sq. M, the rate of double superphosphate application is 20-30 g per 1 sq. M.

Potassium chloride is also a classic autumn fertilizer.

Before using it, it is important to carefully study the instructions in order to correctly calculate the dosage. But on average, they use about 10-20 g of fertilizer per 1 sq. M. When working with potassium chloride, it is recommended to wear goggles and a respirator

It is recommended to wear goggles and a respirator when working with potassium chloride.

Potassium sulfate does not contain chlorine, which is harmful to many plants. In autumn, the granules are usually embedded in the soil to a depth of 10-20 cm. Application rates depend on the plants that will grow in the future in this area. For cucumbers, on average, about 15 g per 1 square meter is applied, for tomatoes - 20 g, for cabbage and turnips - 25 g, for potatoes - 35 g.

Whichever fertilizer you choose for your garden, vegetable garden, flower garden or lawn, it is important to remember that the harvest will not be a joy if it brings harm instead of good. But, as you know, the amount of certain elements in similar, at first glance, fertilizers from different manufacturers may differ slightly. And even organic feeding in significant quantities can contribute to the accumulation of nitrates in the crop.

An eloquent example of this is manure or chicken droppings. Therefore, when applying any autumn fertilizers to the soil, it is important to check the instructions or recommendations of experienced specialists, and also in no case exceed dosages.

How to feed trees and bushes in spring and summer

The plant always "signals" about this or that trouble - whether it is a disease, a pest, or a lack of trace elements

To help your garden deal with nutrient deficiencies, you need to pay attention to changes in the appearance of the tree or shrub. To make it easier for you to "diagnose" the problem and apply the necessary fertilizer on time, we suggest using our table:

The reasons why a plant begins to suffer from micronutrient deficiencies can be different:

• young, actively developing plants have a great need for nutrients, but the root system is still poorly developed and cannot fully “saturate” the aboveground part;
• in prolonged bad weather, when the temperature is not high enough, and there is little sunlight, plants absorb and assimilate microelements much worse;
• the "unsuccessful" composition of the soil on the site can make it difficult for the plant to assimilate nutrients. To learn more about the properties of the soil in your garden and vegetable garden, first determine the acidity of the soil.

How to feed cucumbers in a greenhouse during fruiting

Fertilizing cucumbers after flowering is aimed at the correct formation of fruits. During fruiting, plants take maximum nutrients from the soil, and if something is missing, cucumbers will grow small and not very tasty. It is easy to avoid the problem if you carry out timely feeding.

The first root feeding of cucumbers in a greenhouse can be as follows: 1 tbsp. nitrophosphate for 10 liters of water. After 2 weeks, prepare an infusion of mullein (0.5 liters per 10 liters of water). You can add 1 tbsp to it. Potassium sulfate, which helps to distribute nutrients faster throughout the plant, makes the roots strong and the leaves large and healthy.

Also, herbal infusion will help to strengthen the immunity of plants and start active fruiting. Put chopped wormwood, clover, comfrey, bluegrass, nettle and other herbs in a bucket, cover with warm water and leave for 3 days. Filter the infusion and dilute 1 liter in a bucket of water. This is enough for watering 4-5 bushes.

Gardening tips

In order for the plant to feel comfortable and please with flowering, it is advisable to heed the following tips:

• In the process of fertilizing, it is advisable to pour them at the root, so as not to harm the health of the flower.
• Top dressing chrysanthemums in summer will ensure lush blooms in the fall.
• You can shorten the daylight hours by covering the bushes after 6-7 pm with special boxes or screens.
• A young seedling must be protected from direct sunlight for the first two months after planting.
• In the second decade of July, gradually reduce the amount of watering to a minimum, so that the plant gradually prepares for winter.
• Remove some of the buds that have set, helping the remaining flowers to pick up paint and bloom.
• Apply fertilizers containing sufficient amounts of potassium and phosphorus.
• Water with a growth stimulant, using a dosage: 1 ml of substance per 10 liters of water.

Important! Inject the drug "Ovyaz" at intervals of 4 times in 30 days

• In order for the chrysanthemum to start blooming again in autumn, it is necessary to make the spring temperature for it.
• If there are already adult chrysanthemums in the flowerbed, fresh cow dung cannot be used.
• So that the flowers do not burn out from fertilizer, it is advisable to introduce it into the ground in the flower bed in the fall, then it will have time to rot during the cold weather.
• It is not recommended to introduce nitrogen in the fall, so as not to lead the plant to death.
• Watering only with rainwater or separated, room temperature.
• In the process of watering, it is advisable to use a watering can without a diffuser so that moisture does not get on the leaves, as it can harm them.
• With a frequency of 1 time in 7 days, it is advisable to remove weeds at the place where the flower grows.
• To make it easier to deal with grass, pests and diseases, you can mulch the planting site with foliage, sawdust, straw.
• In order for the flower to survive the winter successfully, it is necessary to cut off the stems, leaving up to 10 cm.
• If the bush is large and tall, it is advisable to provide support on one side so that the stems do not break in a strong gust of wind.
• To maintain the required air humidity, it is recommended to spray the flower from a spray bottle in the morning and evening.
• It is imperative to pinch the flower shoots when they reach a length of 10-12 cm in order to increase the life of the plant and give the bush beauty.

On a note! In order for the main stems of the flower to be strong and long-flowering, it is advisable to cut off all lateral leaves and stems.

Summing up, it is worth noting that the types of feeding were considered and how to feed chrysanthemums in the summer, before and after flowering, so that they feel comfortable and pleasing to the eye for several years.

The main decoration of the autumn garden is chrysanthemums.

Delicate and regal, bright and self-sufficient, blooming chrysanthemums fill the garden with a delicate wormwood scent and do not let go of attention, forcing you to admire yourself again and again

Many chrysanthemums (small-flowered multiflora, various complex large-flowered hybrids of Korean chrysanthemums) withstand harsh Siberian conditions well and have long been registered in our gardens as perennials.

But despite all the beauty, abundant flowering and charm of this imperial flower, many gardeners are not very willing to grow perennial chrysanthemums in their flower beds. There is only one reason - rather late flowering, even the earliest varieties bloom not earlier than August.

This happens because most chrysanthemums, especially large-flowered ones, have a clear dependence of flowering on the length of daylight hours: the buds begin to form when the length of daylight hours is no more than 14-15 hours.

How many times and what to feed raspberries in June-July

Traditionally, raspberries are fed:

• in the spring with nitrogen for the growth of leaves and shoots;
• in summer potassium, which promotes flowering, as well as the formation and growth of berries;
• in the fall with phosphorus, which stimulates root growth.

But not all gardeners follow this scheme, they often do not comply with the dosage, therefore, it will be up to the situation to decide how to feed the raspberries in June-July. Take a closer look at your bushes. In June, young shoots grow actively, and in the second half of the month buds appear, flowering begins. The composition of the top dressing depends on how the bushes look at this time:

1. If the young shoots are thick, tall, the leaves on the bushes are large, saturated green, then you overdid it the day before with nitrogen fertilizers or your land is too fertile. The number of buds and flowers in this case is not indicative, there can be many or few of them. Your task is to redirect the forces of the bush from growing greenery to flowering and fruiting. Apply exclusively potash fertilizer: kalimag, potassium magnesium or potassium sulfate - 20 g / m2.
2. The stems of young shoots are of normal thickness, the leaves are green, of normal size, the bushes are actively covered with buds, they bloom - these are signs of the harmonious development of the raspberry tree. It is necessary to make a top dressing containing mainly potassium, but there must also be nitrogen in it in order for the growth of shoots to continue. Potash nitrate - 15–20 g / m2 will be an ideal fertilizer.
3. Shoots grow slowly, their stems are thin, the leaves are small with a yellowish tinge, there are few buds. These are signs of both a lack of light and starvation. If the raspberry tree is well illuminated by the sun, then it is necessary to add the whole complex of macronutrients. Use nitroammophoska - 5-10 g / m2. In the shade, feeding will not help, the plants will wither.

In any case, in June-July, raspberries need potassium for flowering and berry growth.

Apply top dressing in June during the budding period or at the very beginning of flowering. The result will be visible in 7-10 days. The next time you feed after flowering, in July, when the ovaries begin to grow. This time, nitrogen should be at a minimum, but it is better to do without it, fertilize with kalimag or potassium sulfate (20 g / m2).

In addition, raspberries need microelements: magnesium, sulfur, copper, boron, manganese, etc. They can be applied on the leaves as a foliar dressing. Buy Aquamix, Helatin and similar complex garden mixtures from the store. Spray them according to the instructions, usually 2-3 times per season.

Top dressing in summer

In the summer, the procedure is carried out every 10 days. Requires top dressing with potassium salts and superphosphate with a low nitrogen content. If necessary, add other minerals listed in the table of trace elements. It is necessary to feed chrysanthemums only on moist soil - after precipitation or watering.

Before flowering, at the time of budding, it is necessary to fertilize with phosphorus sulfates. In early varieties, this period will begin in July, and in late varieties in August. Phosphorus is responsible for the number of buds. Thanks to him, you can get a lush, long flowering and strengthen the plant's immunity.

Watering and feeding

Plants love moisture, because of this, in the spring, before the inflorescences appear, they must be watered very carefully.

Water the flowers with soft rain or settled water. For softness, you can drop 3 drops of ammonia there. If the flowers lack moisture, then their stems become rough.

They like manure, mineral fertilizers. When planting cuttings in the spring, it is best to use nitrogen so that the plant grows green mass, and then phosphorus and potassium for the development of inflorescences.

You can water the plants with fertilizers only at the root, since if the fertilizer gets on the leaves, then they will burn.

The substance nitrogen helps the stems to grow, to grow a large number of shoots, to acquire a bright green color for the leaves, and the color characteristic of this variety for the inflorescences. With a lack of nitrogen in chrysanthemums, the leaves turn yellow, this is called chlorosis. The inflorescences will be small and inconspicuous. In early spring, seedlings are fed with ammonia nitrogen, and when inflorescences are formed, with nitrates.

Fertilizing the soil

Nitrogen helps the cuttings create protein, it stores what it needs for good development. Nitrogen is an excellent top dressing, so it must be added to the soil in the spring. And in the fall, nitrogen is not added, since the plant gradually stops growing. Its rhizomes are beginning to prepare for winter. If you add nitrogen in the fall, the plant will die.

When a plant becomes a powerful bush and buds begin to form, then it needs phosphorus and potassium. Phosphorus helps plants to bloom intensively and for a long time, improves their immunity. Superphosphate is introduced at 50 g per 1 m2 of the site, and bone meal is also added. Potassium is also good for the health and beauty of the flowers. Potassium sulfate is considered the best fertilizer.

When growing young seedlings, it is very important that they have enough nutrients for the first 8 weeks. Then they very intensively build up their vegetative mass.

At this time, you need to observe the proportions of fertilizer: 2 parts of nitrogen to 1 part of phosphorus and 1 part of potassium, plus add the necessary trace elements.

Pour 2 buckets of manure or 1 bucket of bird droppings into the barrel, pour water there, mix thoroughly, leave for 3 days, after which the fertilizer will be ready. To feed the seedlings: pour out 1 liter of the infusion, dilute it with a bucket of water (10 liters). Water each sprout under the root with 1 liter of the composition. Water the sprouts liberally before fertilizing.

Instead of chemical fertilizers, you can feed the seedlings with nettles. It contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, as well as many trace elements.

But to get a nutrient mixture, you must follow the rules: collect nettles when they have not yet formed seeds; select only healthy nettles; store the composition in the light, then it will ferment faster. To ferment more quickly, pour in the yeast. To prevent the infusion from smelling so disgusting, drop the valerian root.

Take a bucket or barrel, mow or pick nettles. Then it is recommended to grind it. Fill 2/3 of a bucket or barrel with nettles. Fill the container up to the top with warm water. Cover her. Stir the mixture every day. Then the oxygen that is released during fermentation will come out. The composition is completely ready in 5-10 days. The warmer the weather, the faster the composition will turn out. The infusion is ready when it ferments. It becomes lighter, bubbles disappear. The finished composition is diluted as follows: for 1 liter of infusion - a bucket of water (10 liters). This is how the seedlings are watered.

Store the composition in the same container in which it was prepared. Chrysanthemums are watered once every 14 days. After watering with a nettle solution, water the plants abundantly with water.

You can add dandelions to the nettle. They are harvested before the seeds appear, dried a little, and cut. The barrel is laid on 1/8 dandelions. Then add up to 2/4 of the barrel of nettle. Pour water with a solution of humate, add 1 teaspoon to a bucket of water (10 l).

Making fertilizer from nettle

This composition is insisted for 4-5 days.Ash or Cinderella fertilizer can be added to the finished infusion, 100 g per 100 liters.

Other weeds can be added to the nettle infusion: stepchildren from tomatoes, shepherd's bag, larkspur (comfrey), coltsfoot, Achilles (yarrow), dandur (wheatgrass), chamomile, wormwood.

Feeding a plant in spring is the main part of caring for it. Right before flowering, you can fertilize the plants with special products on the leaves, they are purchased in stores. Fertilizers are a 100% guarantee of good growth and development of chrysanthemums.
