Empty after harvest beds - not a sign of ending the summer season. Prior to the onset of cold weather we, gardeners need to have time to prepare the ground for the winter so that it does not just rest, but recovered and got rid of the disease, if they exist.
Today, many refuse to chemical fertilizers, giving preference to organic.
But even manure and compost will not solve the complex problems of soil renovation, as their main task - the saturation of land in organic matter, but no more.
familiar strangers
All of us are perfectly familiar crops such as mustard, peas, clover, rapeseed; Nasturtium flowers and lupine; cereal rye, wheat, and oats. But not everyone knows that in addition to its core functions, these plants play a role of green manure, ie contribute to the restoration of the upper layer of earth and accumulation in it of nutrients and minerals.
Well, let's wonderful as a representative of the family of legumes absorb nitrogen from the air and in the future accumulate it in pochvepolzuyutsya almost everything: after peas and beans perfectly grow peppers, tomatoes, cabbage.
But what about the grains or flowers? After their use, no less, and seeding can be carried out after the harvest.
Green manure to help us
For many years during the second half of August and beginning of October, sow green manure, and I can say that the technology rapid rehabilitation of the soil after heavy use it in the summer is the most effective and least costly.
More often we sow rye and leave it until spring. In this simple way it has managed to get rid of wireworms and increase the yields of potatoes.
After harvesting the garlic and onion then sow mustard, which grows in good weather in a week. She mowed before the snow and leaving a ridge.
Among other things siderativnaya agricultural technician cleans the land from weeds, make it loose and fertile.
Who that will fit
a large number of different cultures is suitable for autumn sowing. Their choice depends, first, on what kind of result we want to get in the end; and, secondly, what vegetables are planning to put in their place in the next year. On the basis of these indicators can be divided for the autumn sowing green manure into three groups:
- legumes: lupine, clover, alfalfa. As peas and beans are concentrated in the soil nitrogen. Subsequently, these beds grow well Solanaceae (tomatoes, eggplant), cucurbits (cucumber, zucchini), potatoes, radish.
- cereals: rye, barley, and oats. In addition to the enrichment of the soil with potassium and nitrogen, they aeroniziruyut it and effectively fight against diseases, including nematodes and wireworms. Their receivers can become virtually all cultures.
- cruciferous: mustard, oilseed radish, rapeseed. Accumulate potassium and phosphorus, expelled slugs, beetles, nematodes. Set the stage for all kinds of vegetables, except for cruciferous (cabbage, turnip, radish, horseradish, watercress).
Important! Seeds are dispersed in the empty beds without first digging and bury in the ground using rakes or harrows. Before sowing, it is necessary to free the land from weeds.
Even before the onset of winter, the plant will sprout and will go under the winter snow. Spring raised green mass Mow, dried for several days and then plowed. Mulch quickly rot together with the roots, giving additional power ground.
