How to make layered beds

sandwichLayered beds, in general, is not news, but here for the first time talking about apple "filling". Well, if you have nowhere to put your fruit, you can treat them with vegetables.

I want to share experience, how to use unnecessary apples.

Last year there was a big crop of apples, and everyone had the same problem - how to use them rationally.

When the jam was cooked, the juice was squeezed out, the compotes spun, and the question arose: what to do with the rest?

Where to put apples?

With guilt, pity and sin on the soul, several trucks of fallen apples were dug into deep pits, taken to a compost pile. The rest for the first time decided to use it in a multi-layered bed.

At the end of the site, near the fence, we did not grow because of the clay transported there, but the place itself is not bad, it's sunny.

Layered beds

By its size, made of old wide boards a box, fastening the boards with hammered pieces of pipes. Two carts of fallen apples fell into this box, chopped them with a shovel and were poured over with urea (carbamide).

As the foliage fell, we topped the leaves with apples, then again a little urea, then layers of ashes, leaves of pumpkins and zucchini (not sick), beet tops, carrots, weeds without roots, potato peelings and some dry chicken manure.

Then again the leaves (preferably birch, maple, etc., but not damaged), chopped apples, ashes, fermented grass, weeds and some sawdust.

Completed the device beds, pouring out the top layers of sand sticks, two carts of humus and two carts of land left after digging holes for apples.

Each layer was leveled with rakes. Dredge beds can only be in the spring before planting a half-bay spade.

You can plant everything, but especially it likes cucumbers, tomatoes, pumpkin and zucchini.

It is better to make this bed in the autumn. You can and without apples, the technology is the same, tested for years. In the spring (experimental) bed of this year, ground tomatoes and celery (without urea) grew beautifully.

This year, planted cuttings of black currant, when they grow up, I will transplant them to this multi-layered garden. I think she will not let me down with berries.

    Fallen small substandard apples can serve as a good fertilizer. Here are some options for making it.
    A small number of fallen apples (without signs of disease and pests!) Bury directly subtree around the perimeter of the crown.

    Between the rows of raspberries and around the bushes of currants and gooseberries, dig shallow grooves and lay apples without signs of disease there. Sprinkle them with mowed grass and possibly ground.
    Put the rest of the scavenger in a compost pile to get rid of pathogens and pests during the composting process. Add various organic matter there - mowed and slightly dried grass, weathered weeds, and kitchen waste. Intercalate green mass and scavenger with soil or peat. If possible, add ash.
    You can arrange a separate pile for experiencing apples: dig a trench about 50 cm deep, lay the fruits there, layering with the ground, and sprinkle the layers with ash.
    Next season, half-ripened compost can be laid with the lower layer in high beds, and the finished compost in a year will be an excellent fertilizer in the garden and vegetable garden.

    TIP: It is sometimes advisable to stir up a compost pile and a trench with apples with a pitchfork for air flow and better rotting. To speed up the process, use special EM preparations (according to the instructions).

    Gardeners and truck farmers disagree on whether to use fallen apples for fertilization, especially if they have already begun to rot.
    When there are many apple trees on the site, it is not always possible to harvest the entire crop and use it for the intended purpose. Therefore, some summer residents surely add them to the compost: fiber and nutrients in apples form a fertile mixture with decaying grass and tops. But when digging such compost with the soil add dolomite flour or wood ash, so that there is no acidification.
    Other gardeners insist that only healthy fruits can be used for compost (naturally, with an overabundance of crops), as pest and disease are a source of infection for other fruit trees. There is also an opinion that using coal can disinfect such fertilizer.
    Having weighed all the pros and cons, I decided to experiment and
    put some rotten fruit in the compost. In the spring, I dug up a small plot in the garden with the addition of apple compost. Now I will observe how the soil reacts to it. I will certainly write the results. In the meantime, I will tell you how I pawned apple compost.
    I excavated small grooves near the compost heap, filled it with fruits, chopped them with a shovel, mixed it with earth, foliage and mullein (you can also pour nettle or manure infusion). Top covered with soil.
    Some people use another version of the bookmark - they dig a large hole, pour apples and grass residues there and cover everything with earth. The third option is when the fruits are laid directly in the furrows of the beds and covered with soil, and in the spring they dig everything up. If my experiment is successful, next year I will try the last option, so as not to spread the compost in the garden, but to dig it up right away.

    We collected an excellent harvest of apples. Enough for yourself, and neighbors, and acquaintances. But even in spite of this, it was not possible to process everything. Then we dug out a pit in the garden and filled it with all the apples that remained (more than 40 buckets). There they threw the surpluses of watermelons, they poured water on top and covered the ground. Can the contents of the pit be used in the spring for plowing? Under what crops can this be introduced and in what quantity?

      Apples decompose quickly enough, and if the layer of fruits is small, you will get a wonderful humus. The readiness of humus can be determined quite simply - the consistency should be black, loose, without plant debris, with the smell of forest land,

    Where to put the fallen leaves?
    Every autumn I carefully examine the trees and shrubs for signs of scab, powdery mildew or other diseases, the pathogens of which remain to winter on the leaves. If the trees are healthy, then I collect the carrion (I bury it in the ground away from the garden), but leave the leaves. After all, they protect the roots of trees from frost, and decompose, improve the composition of the soil and attract earthworms.
    Leaves close the podzimnie crops on flower beds and beds. And in the spring they will be useful for the device of warm beds for cucumbers, zucchini and patissons.
    The fallen leaves (without damage) are collected and stacked in a compost pile, poured with lime and spilled with a special biofertilizer. Even if I accidentally missed a couple of sick leaves, for 2-3 years in the process of decay, pathogens will die.
    I necessarily remove the fallen leaves from the lawn. Otherwise, under the snow, it will crack and damage the lawn grass.
