APPLICATION OF STRAW IN A HOLIDAY
In the surrounding fields after harvesting grain crops, a lot of uncooled straw remains on the field.
Is it possible to use it somehow in the summer cottage?
Irina Terentievna IVANOVA
If we already deliver straw to the dacha, then it is desirable that it be rye, since it is the mouse that doesn’t like it. And the use of this material may be different.
WHAT IS THE GOOD STOMA IN THE PLOT AND IN THE VEGETABLE?
First of all, it can be used for warming ridges with garlic, onions, perennial vegetable crops. Straw cutting is a good mulching material for garden strawberries. In greenhouse plants, baled straw with unprocessed herbicide sites is used as a substrate for growing heat-loving crops, as a source of nutrients for plants. 1 ton of straw contains an average of 5 kg of nitrogen, 2,5 kg of phosphorus and 8 kg of potassium. And the most reliable and easiest way to use straw is to introduce it into the soil to increase the content of organic matter.
STRAW IN THE FIELD ....
In the “big” agricultural production, the technology of using this material as a fertilizer is well developed. On straw left on the field after the work of the combine, bespattering manure or nitrogen fertilizers are calculated at the rate of 2 c urea per 1 ha. On phosphorus-poor soils, it is also useful to add phosphate fertilizers.
After fertilization, straw is immediately buried by a hoe-plow to a depth of 5-7. See 2-3 weeks, when it disintegrates noticeably in the soil, it is plowed to a normal depth.
This work should not be postponed until spring. Autumn plowing is important in order to ensure better washing out of the soil phenolic compounds harmful to the plants, which are formed during the decomposition of straw. Experience shows that the introduction of late tilled crops 5-10 tons of straw on 1 hectares together with nitrogen fertilizers in some cases gives the same effect as the introduction of the usual manure standards.

SMALL TREATMENT
At the summer cottage, the use of straw in this way is somewhat difficult. But you can do differently, forcing the vegetable "gold" to go through certain stages of preparation. Straw must be composted together with weeds, adding turf soil, ashes and mineral nitrogen fertilizers there. Compost heap should be regularly watered with liquid nitrogen fertilizers, herbal infusions and chicken manure. And all this is a regular shovel. The following year, compost can be used to create warm ridges and mulching.
There is another way to use straw, let's call it extensive. To do this, you need to purchase several bales or rolls of straw and leave them in the open air for 2-3 years. It should be borne in mind that straw rolls have one feature: on the periphery they are very dense, and the core is friable. Therefore, such “slides” should not be put to one side, but placed vertically, then precipitation will fall inside. Over a specified period of time, the straw will partially decompose and can be used as a mulching material.
In one of the magazines for gardeners and gardeners was described another way to use straw. In the autumn, after harvesting, the emptying beds must be leveled with a rake and covered with old rotten straw (lay in bales for about two years) with a layer of 10-15, see
In late autumn, it must be plowed into the soil to a depth of 25-35. This prevents the growth of weeds, makes the soil softer, enriches it with nitrogen. In the straw bedding earthworms quickly start, which improves the structure of the soil. After the frost, you should again cover the beds with the same layer of straw and leave until spring planting. The soil under such a blanket does not dry out and does not crack in the spring.
This creates a good loose top layer, which during the autumn-winter period accumulates enough moisture and nutrients. Before sowing different crops, it is necessary to scatter compost, mineral fertilizers and plow over straw.

When mulching with straw, they say, it is necessary to spill it with nitrogen-containing solutions more often, since it draws nitrogen from the ground. And if instead of straw to use mowed grass?
#
- In fact, the ability of straw to draw nitrogen from the soil is greatly exaggerated, therefore, if you start to actively water the soil with a nitrogen-containing solution, there is a high probability of overfeeding the plants. As a result, they will intensively grow leaves to the detriment of the crop. So, if you mulch the beds with straw, you can increase the dose of nitrogen by 10-15%, no more.
As for the mowed grass: if you update it every two weeks - you do not need to add nitrogen additionally.
