Heating a greenhouse for cabbage with an electric heater and other care (Amur Region)
CABBAGE WITH EXTENSION
For better survival of the seedlings planted in the greenhouse, you can use the simplest electrical appliance. If, of course, all safety measures are carefully followed.
Now I retired, I am engaged in the beds for my own pleasure, and I woke up an interest in experiments. Moreover, I have a large garden, grown on it is enough for three families. And I also sell the surplus.
But I want to tell you about how I grow Slava cabbage. In early April, husband Vladimir Aleksandrovich covers the greenhouse with a film so that the ground in the beds warms up better, and a day before planting, I bring in a heater there and turn it on, connecting it to the house network through an extension cord, so that the air in the greenhouse is warmed up.
The next day I start work: in the beds I dig longitudinal grooves into which I plant the seedlings, I drop them in and water them with warm water. Then I monitor the moisture content of the earth. In this case, the heater remains on, i.e. works almost around the clock. When it gets warm outside, I turn it off during the day and turn it on again in the evening.
At the end of May, in cloudy weather, I plant cabbage seedlings in open ground. My husband makes holes in rows, and in each I put a handful of ash, and then I put one cabbage "bush" down, pour it with warm water and sprinkle it with earth. Then, every day, I also monitor the moisture content of the soil.
To protect against pests, I regularly sprinkle the beds with tobacco dust mixed with ash (1: 1). And my cabbage grows just for a lovely sight! Although with the pre-sowing preparation of seeds, mind you, I do not bother.
I never dive cabbage seedlings. I feed the plantings twice during the season with liquid complex fertilizer.
We have been preparing a greenhouse for cabbage with my husband since autumn. First, we scoop out all the soil from it, put humus in the resulting pits and cover it with sifted soil. In winter, we throw snow into the greenhouse. Its roof is made of glazed frames, and the walls are covered with reinforced foil.
My husband and I really love to work on the earth. By the way, at first there was only one vegetable garden on our site, and after retirement we built a house there and have been living in it for the eighth year. I would like the youth to love the earth, as we do, to strive to work on it - then both people will be kinder and children will be healthier. I wish you all wonderful harvests!
I also grow cauliflower, kohlrabi and Peking cabbage: I make holes in the ground with my finger, put one seed in each one, sprinkle it with earth and water it with warm water.
