  1. "Do it yourself"

    The soil consists of mineral, organic compounds, as well as water and air. Soil is the product of the vital activity of microorganisms that form it, ensure its self-purification, nitrogen cycle, fix nitrogen from the air, form humus and release nutrients for plants, heal the soil.

    With the help of microorganisms, a lot of biochemical reactions take place, thanks to which the soil is transformed into a powerful biochemical machine that passes through huge flows of energy and matter.
    Soil microflora is directly involved in plant nutrition. Not only plants feed microorganisms, but microorganisms themselves are involved in supplying plants with nutrients, enzymes, vitamins, even growth hormones.

    And if mineral fertilizers often have a devastating effect on soil microflora, then biological fertilizers are the opposite. Biological fertilizers are specific soil microorganisms that, together with biologically active substances synthesized by them, are used to provide agricultural crops with available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium compounds, as well as stimulate their growth and development, improve the soil, increase yields and improve product quality.

    The action of biological fertilizers:
    Increase the content of beneficial microorganisms in the soil.
    The soil is being healed, because it inhibits the reproduction of pathogens, increasing the number of antagonist microbes.
    Contribute to the improvement of mineral nutrition of plants.
    Allocate biologically active substances and stimulate plant growth, increase their resistance to stress to environmental factors, yield
    Improve the quality of grown products.
    The use of biological fertilizers allows you to grow high yields of healthy vegetables and not harm the environment.

    Producers of EM fertilizers (using effective microorganisms) usually keep their preparations secret.

    Meanwhile, their analogs can be prepared on their own, and they will have properties similar to the factory ones.

    It is necessary to boil 150 g of pearly, but not moldy hay in 1 l of water, adding to the capacity 1 tsp. chalk. When boiling, most of the harmful bacteria and fungi die, but the spores of the hay stick remain alive. The solution must be put in a dark warm place. After three days, a film appears on the surface, which is formed by spores of the rod. This is a signal that the uterine culture is ready. With its help, a solution is prepared, which will be used for processing and watering plants. This is done so. In a large capacity put 1 kg of senile hay, pour a bucket of hot water, add 10 art. l. chalk or lime (they reduce the level of acidity) and pour in the uterine culture. The container is placed in a warm place and covered to prevent direct sunlight. After 3 days, the working solution is ready, and they can be sprayed with plants. Especially good this fertilizer is reflected in cucumbers.

    The second recipe: in a barrel to fall asleep 6 buckets of the crushed weeds, it is desirable, that there were nettles, a camomile, a plantain and celandine. Then add 2 buckets of compost and half a bucket of ash and pour two-thirds of the water. Insist for two weeks. The resulting concentrate must be diluted in the ratio 1: 10.

    A remedy that acts like a heteroauxin can be prepared independently from dried leaves of roses. A glass of this raw material should be brewed 1 l of boiling water, cool and add 2 drops of iodine. In this infusion, diptings and other planting material are dipped.

    You can also just water the plants during planting.

    I have my own "Baikal"
    For two years, I conscientiously applied the biological drug "Baikal EM-1" known to everyone. But the result did not quite suit me. And already in the last season I decided on the basis of this preparation to prepare my own biofertilizer.

    A bucket of chicken droppings, the same amount of last year’s leaves, half a bucket of earth, and also crackers, old jam, fermented kefir and finally 200 ml of Baikal EM-250 were added to a 1-liter water barrel. He closed the barrel with a lid, stood for 2 weeks and
    half of the summer fed up everything that grows in my garden and on the beds, spreading the infusion with water in the ratio 1: 2. Zola was given separately. As a result, received an excellent harvest.

    I personally prefer to manage a minimum of mineral supplements, because even if I do everything according to the instructions, it is still possible to overdo with doses and to do harm to the plants and myself.
    Therefore, the lion's share in the feeding is accounted for horse manure, well-pereprevshy compost, ash and herbal infusions. At the same time, I treat manure most economically, spend it strictly dosed, making it only for each plant individually.

    What do you want? The price of this good now bites (that's why I buy it every three or four years), and they do not have to be scattered. Compost I prepare myself from grass, leaves, pieces of paper and cardboard, as well as from vegetable purification, which I constantly bring from the city. All the ashes are carefully collected and poured into the barrel, installed where it is drier.
    But the liquid fertilizer began to be cooked, one might say, by accident. After they disassembled the old, dilapidated summer shower, the remaining 100-liter tank from the car, in which water was collected, was dragged to the far corner of the garden. Once, mowing once again the grass, from fatigue, she threw it into that tank, and then again and again.

    Then it started to rain well, and when I was nearby two weeks later, I found a dark brown liquid with a grassy odor in the tank. I treated the cabbage with this drug, and she immediately responded to such a treat, having noticeably added growth in a week. After that, I already fed cucumbers, zucchini and flowers with all this infusion - everyone was satisfied.

    Biofertilization for trees with own hands
    For several years, instead of buying biofertilizer for fertilizing plants in the garden I cook my own.
    In a large barrel I load on the bucket of manure (manure), sheet humus from the forest, wood ash, and 3-liter can of berg (I pour the yeast with warm water, add old jam, leave for a week for wandering), black bread, sour milk, kefir, whey and shovel of the earth from its site. I fill it with water and stir it gently with a stick. I insist about two weeks. Then the ladle of this fertilizer I plant in 100 l of water and water young fruit trees and berry bushes from spring to mid-summer. The effect is stunning! Plants grow well and bear fruit abundantly.

    Some say that drugs saturated with microorganisms are very effective and can increase yields by half, while others believe that such additives have significant disadvantages: microorganisms are very easy to die with heat, and it is still difficult to observe the technology of use. Are they really so difficult to use for a regular summer resident?

      Preparations saturated with effective microorganisms are the concentrates necessary for the normal functioning of soil microorganisms in orchard and garden soils. Depending on the manufacturer, they contain in their composition soil bacteria, yeast and other fungi, whose vital activity has a beneficial effect on the soil.
      In addition to the actual improvement of soil quality, such preparations are used for processing planting material, accelerating the ripening of compost, processing dacha and biotoilets, and living and auxiliary premises. Most of these drugs are fairly simple to use, including for ordinary, ordinary villager. It is only necessary to strictly follow the instructions for using the drug.
      It should also be remembered that most of the microorganisms that make up these drugs are most active in the temperature range from 15 ° to 20 ° and often die or are depressed under the influence of direct sunlight. Therefore, it is advisable to work with these drugs in cloudy (but not rainy) weather.

    On our site is a good land, black earth, but it is something contaminated. Nothing really grows. Even cherries were not collected last year, everything was rusted. Cabbage on the root rotted. What could be the reason and how to improve the soil?

      Unequivocally answer your question without additional soil survey is difficult. But, most likely, a whole complex of pathogenic microorganisms "lives" on your site. The cause of rust of cherries is fungal damage, and cabbage rot causes bacteria. To improve the soil of your site, it is necessary to conduct a number of activities. First, strictly observe the crop rotation in the garden. Culture should return to its place no earlier than in 3 years. Second, after collecting
      harvest all plant residues to be removed from the site, but it is better to burn. It is also necessary to burn all the diseased plants noted. Thirdly, in the fall, deep plowing (digging) of the soil should be carried out. It is also advisable to conduct chemical disinfection of the soil.
      To do this, after an autumn digging abundantly spray 3% solution of copper or iron vitriol. In the spring, before treatment of the soil, add an 4% solution of copper chloride to the dry top layer of the soil.

    For the winter in the cellar, where I store the vegetables harvested in the autumn and where a small plus temperature is kept, I always put 2-3 bags of good garden soil. I take it from the beds, where peas, beans, beans, onions or garlic grew. During the winter I humidify several times. And in the spring, before planting garden crops, I evenly spread this land over the beds and immediately plow with rakes.

    It would seem, what is the sense in this operation, which, as many think, average Sisyphean labor ?! But in fact, it has a serious scientific basis.
    Once I read in one of the agronomic books such a statement: during the winter period, especially if there were severe frosts, the number of useful microorganisms that process various chemical compounds, transforming them into a form that is adaptable to plants, is sharply reduced in the earth.
    In other words, bacteria simply freeze out, and microflora is restored only by the end of June. Naturally, all this time the plants are not in the most comfortable conditions.

    Acceleration of the process of soil saturation by microorganisms is promoted by the soil preserved from autumn, where bacteria remain unscathed in a favorable environment.
    And in the spring, after hitting a warm patch, they begin to multiply very actively. Thus, this soil plays the role of biofertilizer. Due to this, plants adapt more quickly and actively develop, which is reflected in the increase in yield.

    From the literature on natural farming, I learned that the soil in the spring is well heated by biological preparations (for example, Baikal EM-1). The useful bacteria in them multiply in the soil, they process plant remains in it and thereby "wake up" it.

    The main thing - to spill beds when the earth by this time itself warms up to + 10 hail, (a sure sign - the leaves start to grow on the birch tree). And seeds then sow the days through 10.

    And I came up with a special bouquet, which I decided to treat to two cultures, the fanatic of which is: tomatoes and strawberries. To make this magic drink, I took an 200-liter barrel and half filled it with freshly mown grass.

    Added the same 1 bucket of ash, 1 kg of granulated sugar, 300 g of yeast and half a bucket of dried bread crumbs.
    Well, for the full effect, I dripped iodine and manganese (if you can not spoil the porridge with oil, then the top-dressing with these means too). Yes, I forgot to say that I installed the barrel in the sun. Its contents were thoroughly mixed and left to infuse for two weeks, during which time it also carried out regular stirring of the "brew".

    After that I started feeding. Watering was carried out once a week: 1 liter of brew was added to 1 bucket of water, and this volume was calculated for every 3-4 bushes of tomatoes and 10 bushes of strawberries. To say that the result from the application of mash is amazing is to say nothing. Look better at the photo of my works and create a mash!

    Champignon horse friend
    I’ve been growing champignons in the country for about 15 years and have become convinced that one of the main conditions for a good harvest is a quality substrate. I use manure from horses that are generously fed oats.

    More precisely, I take a mixture of manure and straw. I made a special arrangement with the grooms that they should less often change the straw bedding even for some horses.

    Then the straw is well crushed with hooves and mixed with manure. The best substrate for champignons can not be found! Excellent crops grow on it - both in volume and in the quality of mushrooms.

    Gardeners can successfully use the ice drill designed for anglers for focal fertilizer application. I turned it around for a minute and a pit 13 cm in diameter and 0,5 m deep was ready. It is enough to make 10 such deep and narrow holes near the roots of the trees. They lay mineral dressing. The ice drill will also fit in the installation of hedge posts - here you can’t keep up with the shovel.

    Somehow I became interested in what vermicompost is. And the usual search for information has turned into a hobby for me. Vermicompost is obtained by breeding worms, it is their product of life. And these "wastes" are useful due to the humic substances that are contained in them in abundance. Humic substances, in turn, are a breeding ground for the development and life of beneficial soil microorganisms. In addition, vermicompost contains elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium in a form accessible to plants. And it also has growth hormones. Now I have set up a small worm farm, which supplies my garden with this valuable product. Fuss, of course, increased, but not very much. And what else to do in retirement!
    But my garden is provided with a healthy and proper top dressing. And it grows the right, clean vegetables and fruits.
