Head of the decorative floriculture sector of the Tatar Research Institute agriculture Maryam Chinaeva shared simple and effective care rules with KP readers

Each owner luxurious garden dreams that her flower beds bloom every year, and at the same time the costs are minimal.
Employees of the most beautiful sector of the research institute have in their collection more than 350 species of herbaceous and woody plants, among which there are quite rare ones: mountain pine, macaroni tree, spirea Wangutta, Nippon and Japanese, many perennial flowers. Therefore, they know exactly how to grow a healthy, colorful flower bed and garden tree decor.
Bare land is dead land
If you want your peonies, daffodils, irises, petunias and trees to bloom lushly every year, then be sure to fertilize the soil from above (mulching). Moreover, it is important that the entire land is covered, and not just individual areas. Then the fruits will grow in greater volume and several times larger, the young shoots will be healthier, receiving such support. They begin to actively reproduce in the litter earthworms who do numerous tunnels, thanks to them, the necessary air and water are supplied to the plants. Peat, humus, semi-rotted or rotted green manure (organic green fertilizers) are best suited for mulching. According to Maryam Chinaeva, even finely broken twigs and dry grass will do.
“Look at the soil in the forest - it’s all covered in old grass, needles, and other organic matter,” the specialist shares with KP. - And the trees are tall there. Tall, lush wild flowers form entire glades, because nature smarter than a person, I thought of everything. At your dacha, you should follow the dictates of nature and be sure to cover the soil so that it receives all the necessary microorganisms, minerals and useful substances. And so that your fertilizers begin to turn into humus faster, it is better to water them with a weak nitrogen solution and keep them moist. It is important that the mass earth cover was loose, you can even use a special pitchfork to periodically loosen the fertilizer so that both rain and sun have free access to the soil. It is worth noting that mulch prevents the evaporation of moisture from the soil, this is especially valuable in the heat. In addition to mulching, young shoots will benefit from feeding mineral fertilizers. It’s just important not to overfeed the plant - this contributes to excess salt deposition.
You also need to water wisely
For some reason, many gardeners still believe that the more often you water ornamental trees and medium and tall shrubs, the better. Constant watering in small quantities will definitely not make this type of plant grow faster or more abundantly. Trees should be watered so that the water wets the soil to the depth of the main roots, on average, two to three times a month. Low shrubs You can water more often and in small quantities. There is also a myth that it is necessary to water strictly under the center of the tree, while the main roots that need nutrition are left without moisture at a distance of 30 - 40 cm from the tree trunk. It is best to water in special circular furrows, palm deep, around the tree. So yours decorative tree will receive the most competent hydration. With flower beds everything is about the same: it is better to water rarely, but intensively. The depth of moisture should reach 40 - 50 cm. Before watering, it is important to loosen the soil around the plant so that the flower is in the hole (plant in the middle). In this case, the water will flow to the entire root system, and will not spread over the top layer of dry soil. If the weather is very dry, then you should moisten the soil more often, especially if you notice that fresh buds and leaves suddenly become lethargic and begin to droop. If you do not water in time, the plant will begin to dry out, and then may even die. Therefore, urgent resuscitation is important here, then the flower will be able to regenerate and the lethargy will disappear. Treacherous rain
Another popular myth among summer residents is that there is no need to water the garden after rain. This is partly justified, but only under the condition that it was a long and heavy rainfall that managed to wet the ground sufficiently. To check, just stick your finger or palm into the ground, and you will immediately understand everything. Most roots, especially those of large tall crops, are located quite deep, and light rainfall will not be able to properly water the soil. Rainwater It will definitely do good if you simply collect it in a barrel or buckets left in the yard during a rainstorm. This water is much healthier than regular water from a hose. With it, you can, taking into account all the features of irrigation, independently moisten the soil of different crops.
IMPORTANT!
A buried package can lead to cancer
Many summer residents, instead of throwing away old plastic bags or film, bury them on their own land. Such proximity is especially dangerous next to edible crops: fruits, berries, vegetables. When decomposing in the soil, the “chemical concentrate” seriously poisons the earth. And with constant eating of “plastic” fruits, there is a risk of developing cancer and other dangerous diseases.
