In autumnwe should once again spread a layer of fresh bedding onbeds . Thanks to it, the earth retains moisture for longer, and in heavy rainfall, intertwined withsunandwind , it is not subject toerosion (especially in hilly areas).
The popular chaff can be used as beddingbarkorcompostIt doesn't even have to be mature; it is enough to lie inpryźmiefrom 6 to 8 weeks. The rest belongs tosoil microorganisms , which will transform the compost into valuablehumusbefore winter Compost lining compostis also worth using because of the beneficial insects that find shelter in it. You need to know that unripe compost is spread only in the fall; in spring, the flower beds should be fedmature compost
On wooded plots, the fertilizer should be spread at a distance of about 20 cm from the trunk, so that it does not come into contact with matter (this may causerotting bark). Weed leaves and stems are also suitable as bedding, provided that they do not have a seed bag. For the lining withchaff barkyou can mixflour horn , which, being a material rich in nitrogen, replenishes the deficiency of this element in the soil caused by the decomposition of the lining.
Garden: It's time to dig out the bulbs of summer flowering plants
Tulips,narcissi ,crocuses ,hyacinthsczyliliescan winter in the bed without any cover, whilegladioli , dahlias andbeadletsshould be dug out as soon as their leavesyellowandwiltedBulbsandtubersare carefully removed from the ground using the forks. Before we clean them of soil remnants, they should dry out in a well-ventilated place for several days. Then cut the remains of the leaves and place them loosely in a box filled withwool woodUntil springonionsstore in a dark, cool cellar, at a temperature of 3-12 ° C.
Orchard: Fruit should not be knocked down, but picked one by one
Fruit for long storage must not show any signs of damage, because if the fruit is bruised or mutilated,peelandfleshrot quickly. Therefore,applesandpearscannot be precipitated. It is best to pick them individually and immediately arrange them in layers in boxes, interleaving each layer with chips.
Compost: Neither too wet nor too dryApplesandpearsfallen from the tree and harvested from the ground, it is best to use compoteorjuice. Fruits are picked from tall trees while standing on the ground or a ladder. In the second case, collect them to the bucket hanging onhook orfastened hipslingIf the fruit is very soft (especially some pear varieties), we advise you toput plastic in the slingbowlCaution should also be exercised whendriftingandtransferringthe collected fruit to the crate. Some growers advise to put them inglovesas this reduces the risk of damaging the fruit.
Too wet compostjust rotting, too dryslows down processes decompositionMoisture status of organic matter is easy to checkby organolepticJust crush the compost in your hand; if water comes out between your fingers, the organic material is too wet. In this case, a little dry chaffbarkorsawdustshould be mixed with it, and then stir the forks intarget aeration If the compost becomes loose when pressed in your hand, it means that the organic mass isdryandrequires additional moistening.
The use of special compost accelerators only makes sense when the decomposition processes take place very slowly, e.g. due tolow temperaturesair or large amounts ofleaveswmateriiIn spring and summer, i.e. in the period when large amounts of nitrogen-rich mass are composted, it is enough to add a few handfuls of mature compost to the heap to give rise to the wholeprocess puberty
Vegetable: Late vegetables under the fleece
The chill that haunts the crops now isn't usually long-lasting. Despite the temperature drops, hardy vegetables continue to grow for many weeks.Endive ,broccoli ,Brussels sprouts ,parsnips , lamb's lettuceorradicchiocan stay outdoors even until December.For night frostscrops we cover with a clothmade of non-woven fabric, so that the vegetables are sheltered from chilling wind and rainfall rain.
