Plant the garden correctly

New gardeners ... Someone sincerely wants to satisfy the innate craving for land with at least four hundredths, and who is richer - generally exchanges city apartments for individual houses in the country.

In any case, they both plant fruit trees and shrubs in their "Palestinians" ("... he saw gooseberries everywhere"), but it does not always work out.

Let's see why: there are simple rules, which a newly-created landowner may simply not know or pay attention to. In vain!

First, where to plant.

Pits in the fall are cooked in the summer, for 2 months, for spring - from the autumn. The shape of the well does not matter. About the size a little later, when the conversation will be more specific. And if the groundwater is closer than 50 cm, we do not dig holes at all. Directly on the soil surface we fill the drainage layer (10 cm), the mound of fertilized soil (on average 1 / 3 cubic meter, depending on the root volume), straighten the roots by first driving into the center of the stake, fill the roots with earth, tie the barrel to the cola and we sink the earth: the seedling here sits on a "kurgan" with a height of about 35 cm.

Age of seedlings

All saplings of shrubs can be taken by yearling. The currant in the autumn - even rooted in the current summer cuttings. But fruit trees - preferably three years, so they are more reliable to survive.

If you immediately (during the days) are going to plant them, it does not really matter if you take a seedling with an open root system or in a container. And the first will be uniquely cheaper. And if you do not immediately land, it is preferable, of course, the container variant. And in general: to transplant the seedling from the container to the prepared pit it is possible during the whole season, in the middle of summer - in cloudy, cool weather.

Directly before planting, the seedling with ACS should be dipped roots in the clay buglet, and the variant in the container - well shed, after two hours removed from the container and before planting with a not very sharp stick "stir" the surface of the earth coma. Such seedlings are tied to two colas, driving them into the edges of the pit in the form of the letter "X".

Now - that when to plant.

Both trees and bushes are planted in a dormant state, in spring or in autumn. Bushes by nature are more tenacious (except for some capricious ones) than trees, they can be planted in the spring, when the leaves began to unfold a little.

Trees are less plastic, so it's safer to plant them in autumn. And in the spring, from the moment of thawing the soil to the beginning of budding, you have only about ten days! Stood - well, the time is tight - it's better to plant in the autumn without fuss.

In the country

All the basic, which will be discussed below, concerns medium soils with a low standing of groundwater.

A couple of words about the pits. In general, and so it is clear, for large trees - deeper: apple and pear on a strong-growing stock 1 xxNUMX x 1 m, on a dwarf - 0.8 x 0,8 x 0.8 m. About the same for cherries and plums.

For most bushes there are enough holes 0,6 x 0,6 x 0,4 m, and for raspberries it is generally good to make a trench with three bayonets of shovel depth and 2,5 bayonet width, put a layer of stakes thick in the hand on the bottom, sprinkle them in the palm of the dumped manure, fill up the trench with the surrounding land and here plant the bushes in line, according to 5-7 trunks in the bush through 70, see.

And one general rule - the heavier the soil is - the thicker the layer of drainage should be at the bottom

And if the groundwater is borderline near and the soils are heavy, for the pits of large trees do so. From the pit, three rays lead to grooves with a width of one and a half bayonets and depth as the bottom of the pit, and a meter length along 2-3. In them, the fascia are laid from bundles bound by bundles of non-thick (with a foot thick) and covered with earth. Such a drainage in the wet season will not allow the tree to "choke".

Remember that most crops can not be buried below the root neck during planting. If it is possible (currant, gooseberry), this is always specially stipulated. Beginners gardener to avoid mistakes will help rake, laid down in the pit.

What did you mean?

Well, when talking about planting, do not say about gooseberry?

And there is really nothing to say, in "exploitation" the bushes are perhaps the most simple. Just remember about the thorns: between the bushes stand 1.2 m in the row, and between rows - 1,6 m. Otherwise, the plantation of your favorite berries will have to be processed by wearing an armor.

Currant will endure and the near vicinity of groundwater. And the main rule: the purer under the bushes, the more berries. Raspberry needs sun, space and maximum loose ground. Vinogradu needs a lot, but most importantly - the neighborhood of the southern wall of the building and the wings of something from the north wind.

Stone fruit will never really bear fruit on acidic soils, and blueberry will not give any berry on alkaline. And for apple trees, soils with little acidity or neutral are preferred.

Planting a tree of an apple or pear tree, force yourself to plant them no closer than 3 m from each other, otherwise already in 5 years the crowns will begin to close. In general, each culture has its own flavor. Which must be chewed!
