How to tie tomatoes better and faster

I'll tell you about the garter of tomatoes. I don’t have a greenhouse, so I plant tomatoes and peppers in temporary greenhouses: peppers on one side and tomatoes on the other. As I land, I immediately set the arc. Near each arc I drive a peg, then I connect the pegs with crossbars.

I cover with a spunbond.

In order not to blow it off, I fasten the slats on both sides to the bottom, and connect the ends with wires at the ends. As soon as the tomatoes grow up, I tie them to the crossbeams. For this, even 4-5 years ago in the winter I prepared strips of fabric with a width of 4 cm, length 1 m for short stems and 1,5 m for tall tomatoes. At the ends of the strips sewn on the button, and along their entire length made a slotted loop, sweeping them.

Sometimes, once planted on 100 and more roots, now-20 tall and 20 undersized. At the garter, I throw the end of the strip across the crossbar and fasten it with a button over the loop. Then, at the bottom end of the strip, I wrap the bush behind the leaf with the stem and fasten it to the strip by the loop. With the growth of the stem, I adjust the garter with the upper or lower end of the strip.

When planting large-bodied tomatoes I put more pegs near the holes.

When tying brushes with large fruits I use strips already width 15 cm and length up to 50 cm. At the ends, too, sewn on the buttons, and the length of the strips are made loops.

And I tie tomatoes so. With one end of the strip I skirting the peg, I fasten the button with the button, the other end I go around the brush with tomatoes, slightly pull it up and fasten it to the strip. As the maturing tomatoes carefully remove, and brush slightly tighten the strip and fasten.

I like this garter: brushes do not break, it's convenient to work, everything turns out quickly and without fuss. After harvesting the tomatoes, I disinfect the strips, dry and clean until the next year. Yes, I forgot to write, the strips are cut to share, so as not to stretch.

I start to clean the tomatoes immediately, as soon as the temperature drops to 10 ° at night, then they do not decay when they are done.

This rule I learned when I was still living in the Kemerovo region.

The dacha was near the river, usually after August 10 fogs were already spreading, at night it became cool. So we cleaned the green tomatoes before the arrival of fogs, folded in a house, sheltered. Then gradually took home the ripened tomatoes. Everything was well preserved.

All the best, good harvest, and most importantly - health!

  44 REMARKABLE BONES

We have been working on the land for about 30 years. And we grow currants, raspberries, cherries, honeysuckle, chokeberry, pear, snow leopard, bird cherry, apple trees, strawberries and a lot of flowers - roses, iris, peonies, lilies, Turkish cloves, phlox, and every spring I plant many annuals, I will not describe everything.

In the first year, the husband plowed the garden and divided one half of it into 60 cm beds and 60 cm aisles. Potatoes were planted on the bed. When he ascended, the husband fell asleep "with his head." When he ascended again, the husband laid him on the grass. And he mows grass everywhere - under the trees, between the rows. Next to us is a kindergarten, so it mows it up there - it’s good and good for us.

Before we fall asleep with grass, we sow mustard, it emerges, her husband also mows and puts in rows and on potatoes. After that, digging is very easy. Pull the bush - and all the potatoes in sight, clean even in rainy years.

And next season we put potatoes in the aisles, and we fall asleep with soil from the garden. And again we cover with grass - the earth becomes soft and fertile.

In the second half of the garden, we plant vegetables - carrots, beets, cabbage, radishes, peas, beans (the latter from the wireworm).

And there is also a bed of boards, in the fall we fold all the waste into it, and close it with a film in the spring, and it heats up quickly. Then we pour the ground and plant pumpkins, zucchini, squash.

Along the perimeter of the garden, along the paths and between the cabbage, I sow marigolds and calendula. When planting cabbage, pouring ash into the hole, onion peel, finely chopped egg shells, pour water and plant cabbage. Then I fall asleep a hole and stick a sprig of wormwood. Through 10 the days of wormwood change, and I never have black flies. And I roll a stalk with a strip of emery paper (3-4 cm), rolled up. The cabbage grows up, the roll gradually spins up, and the slugs have no progress. Cabbage is growing purest!

NET REINFORCEMENT

Well, now about the most important thing. I have polycarbonate greenhouses. One 3 × 4 m - for cucumbers and peppers, the second - 3 × 6 m - for tomatoes. 44 bushes are placed, everyone has enough - we are with my husband and daughter with my family, I even sell a little more, and eat fresh ones before the New Year.

And I want tell how to tie up tomatoes. I tried everything and found a good way. Our greenhouses are wooden and covered with polycarbonate. They did it themselves, it was inexpensive. In the greenhouse I have three beds on each side and one in the middle. On the sides, I plant tomatoes in one row, in the middle in two rows. Now about how to tie it up.

In the garden, which is on the side of photo 1, the husband drove along the edges along a column of 50 × 50 mm and one in the middle. I connected it on top with a bar to stand tight. He pulled on the ropes - in the middle he wrapped around a column, then further to the edge and back. I tie the stems to these ropes. Well, now on the bed in the middle (photo 2), the husband welded a wire mesh with 15 × 15 cm cells from the wire, stuck it in the ground, and attached it to the beam at the top. And I tie to these cells - very convenient.

In the fall, I take off the ropes, wash and fold them until the next spring, and wash my mesh with vitriol and store it. Garden beds are fenced.

When I plant seedlings, I pour ash into the holes, husks of onions, crushed eggshells, water them and put the seedlings in a bottle of mineral water. In these bottles I water and fertilize - the ground in them is dry, and no late blight. I also fill the ground under tomatoes with grass: water - it does not dry.

The photo also shows winter garlic - I always dry it in the greenhouse, onions too. I fill the aisles with sawdust, in the heat I pour them with cold water, it’s not hot in the greenhouse, and the sawdust is re-heated and goes into fertilizer. And from the heat we cover the greenhouses with covering material, and from above we spread a green grid, which is sold in garden shops (photo 3). As a result, the temperature in the greenhouse is always normal.

And still, when tomatoes bloom, I sprinkle boric acid, and they are well tied. I also spray with whey, and they do not get sick, they stand green before the frost. My granddaughter Masha took the photo. Half of the crop has already been taken.

I also want to share my grief as I cut down cherries. They got sick and began to dry. Late I read that you need to spray with an antibiotic. But I took one bottle of 10 liters of water and poured directly under the root. And by the fall, they have grown from me! In the spring I sprayed all the branches - maybe that’s what happens. I will write in the fall.
