Prepare for landing
Before cooking the bulbs for planting, they need to dig, lay in the low box or boxes and leave under cover in a well-ventilated area to dry completely. Dry bulbs is easier to clean off the ground, the husk, extra roots and stems.
Until they dry out, you need to prepare 2 beds for their landing. Large and small bulbs are best planted separately.
Before preparing the flower beds, make sure that the land is not acid. Flowers do not like such soil. In this case it is necessary to make slaked lime or chalk the rate of 200 g per 1 m².
Before you dig up the beds, you should fertilize them. Composition of the mixture for 1 m²:
- 2-3 buckets of compost or peat (it is);
- 150 g of wood ash;
- 20 g of ammonium nitrate;
- 30 g of potassium sulfate;
- 50 g of superphosphate.
If there is a green manure in the area, they can be crushed and also sprinkle on the bed before digging. Dolomite or phosphorous flour well enriches the soil in minerals.
Solutions for fertilization are accepted at the discretion of the site owner. Reasonable approach does not violate the fertility of the soil and improve the nutrition of the bulbs.
The beds need to be dug to a depth of at least 30 cm, carefully selecting the weeds out of the ground and their roots.
Cooking bulbs to planting in soil
The dried and peeled onions must be carefully freed from the brown peel cover. So they will better absorb nutrients from the ground. bulbs should be examined carefully and select the corrupted or damaged. If some of the damaged part, they can be cut. Classified according to size.
Then you have to decontaminate a weak solution of potassium permanganate. He will protect plants from fungal diseases.
Time of disembarkation bulbs into the soil
Since mid-September to mid-October, when the air temperature drops to +7... + 10 ° C and the temperature in the soil to a depth of 15cm to + 10 ° C, it is necessary to plant bulbs prepared. At this temperature, there is their rooting. Cool autumn months and during winter affect the active development of the bulbs, which allows them to immediately spring to sprout and accelerate flowering.
If you missed planting time, then flowers can be planted in slightly frozen ground in November. It will even help accelerate their flowering in the spring.
Landing
Best of all the beds to make longitudinal grooves depth of 15 cm.
Bulb planted at a depth greater than 3 times the size.
Grooves pour aqueous furnace black. It is made of a half-liter cans of soot on a bucket of hot water and allow to cool. The best means to fight against various diseases and pests are not present.
If there is no soot, the groove can be watered with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Above ground wet coat sprinkled with a mixture of sand, humus earth. Bulbs little powdered wood ash and decomposed at a distance greater than 2 times their diameter or 8-10 cm apart.
Now you need to gently push each bulb in the ground in order to avoid air pockets underneath. Earth around the plants is desirable to sprinkle crushed red hot pepper, which will not let them rodents.
Planting soil fill, smooth surface of the beds and rake a little ram.
Care for tulips
If the autumn is dry, then after 1-2 weeks after planting should be watered flower bed. After the onset of frost-resistant mulch the ground with sawdust, straw, bark (if any), peat. When the winter with little snow is necessary to collect the snow from the area, and sketch out a planted bulbs. They are well preserved in the snow together and sprout in spring.
With the arrival of spring is necessary to remove a large mulch, so it does not damage the delicate shoots of tulips.
