Once in August I found his neighbor's uncle Grisha for a strange occupation. He sat on a bench near the pile of tomato tops and carefully fingered her, laying on separate piles, and some folded into a bucket and a plastic barrel.
- do not disappear as good, - he answered my unspoken question, and then told, what are a handful.
Ash from the tops of tomatoes
Here Grisha pitted withered and yellowed leaves, stems with stains and mold. For he was burning barrel with cut bottom furnace. Ash tomato foliage is rich in potassium and trace elements. It is made of 4 glasses per square meter at the autumn digging. You can fertilize the plants from pests during rapid growth, do it 2-3 times per season. And:
- The ash can be made when loosening beds, to fill the wells for planting seedlings.
- And you can insist 2-3 days, and then diluted with water 1:10, and applied for foliar application by spraying in the morning or evening.
- Diluted 1: 3 tincture of ash and water the plants by the roots.
Compost
This bunch was intended for healthy yellowed stalks from which Grisha tore leaves and stepchildren, who piled separately.
- Can you help? And you dig worms for fishing.
- With joy!, - I agreed.
The task was simple: chop the stems smaller with what we managed quickly, put on a stretcher and put everything in the compost heap.
On the tops of Grisha immediately poured a bucket of prefab mullein. Then sprinkled the whole thing loose soil and covered with a film done by the holes.
Box of compost has been divided into 4 parts. Going to the farthest, my neighbor dug a shovel economic com-rotted compost, worms picked and put in a jar.
- Do you have enough, biting bad now, the worms are consumed a little, - he laughed. And we went back past the loosened beds, - In the autumn, and here it will be possible to dig worms "- said Grisha.
Mulch
Green branches were in the third pile.
- Some of them he tied in bundles, to hang in the apple, plum and currant bushes to deter pests.
- Part chopping and folded into the grooves around the trees to the pests do not climb on the trees from the ground.
- The rest of the finely chopped and laid out on a bed instead of mulch. And the pests do not like, and the soil does not dry, and worms at ease. After she and the soil becomes loose.
- And part of the branches, he simply laid out around the beds to ward off pests. "They do not like the smell of foliage many harmful creatures."
Green manure
Plastic barrels intended for tops, large leaves, and ovaries. After she filled in the third, it reload its chopped nettle, wormwood, yarrow, and even some grasses.
- It is possible and without them, but with them better. And dressing, and instead of chemistry with caterpillars and other aphids. If it does not raise, then they have enough of this kvass - Grisha laughed.
Placed on top of a sprig of valerian to stink less. Filled with warm water, cover with a hole and put the sun in the corner of the garden.
"Kvass" at first smell is not very good, but after a week and a half better. Then it is drained, filtered, diluted 1:10 and sprayed plant. Thus, where the beds to diseases and pests, kvass poured under a root at a dilution of 1: 3.
Part of kvass Grisha bottles to be used in the winter for home flowers for emergency help if any of the cherished plants in the fall ill.
Pest
The tops of the Solanaceae, which includes tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and wild nightshade, much of solanine. In small doses, it is harmless to humans and animals. But here for the caterpillars, aphids, mites, and other garden pests damaging it.
2/3 filled with packagings stepchildren leaves and pour hot water and insist 6-8 hours. If you do not have time, it is possible in two hours to put on the fire for half an hour, "compote" strain and spray the plants.
I thanked Uncle Grisha for such valuable information and went to disassemble his bunch of tops that are going to burn in the fall. Then get away respirator, goggles and prepared the poison, which is going to sprinkle the cabbage from caterpillars and plum aphid. And he went to prepare a useful "compote".
