Any housewife dreams of maintaining, or even increasing, her harvest. Agronomists say this can be done in several ways. And if you use them together, the harvest will be unprecedented!
The benefits of organics
Organic matter is vital for vegetable crops. And the more fertile the land, the better - it will bring more harvest. The layer of soil saturated with humus should be quite deep, about 40-50 centimeters. But few people on the site have such depth. This is why the use of organic matter when planting vegetables is so important.
What is the algorithm for introducing organic matter into the soil? When spring comes, when the ground is already dry, you need to scatter compost or humus. After fertilizing, the soil is dug up with a shovel. This should be done annually.
Distance
In no case should you plant vegetables closely together, because otherwise they will be forced to fight for life, and this is fraught with a poor harvest. Vegetable crops must have enough nutrition and light. Therefore, they should be planted at a sufficient distance from each other - this will significantly increase the yield.
For example, if lettuce bushes are planted at a distance of 20 to 25 cm, then the weight of each one doubles.
The best method of seedlings is chess
If you plant plants in a checkerboard pattern, then they will fit up to 15% more if you do it in rows.This way the vegetables won't have to compete for nutrition and sunlight.
Regular watering and pruning
Thanks to a sufficient supply of moisture to the soil, the temperature of the leaves is reduced, layers of dust are removed and, in general, the degree of moisture in the plant increases. And pruning helps reduce excessive growth of individual parts. This allows vegetables to use nutrients wisely. Moreover, the absence of excessive vegetation contributes to better plant sensitivity to sunlight. This way the crop will ripen and ripen at an earlier date.
Sealing seal
It would seem that this contradicts the chess order and generally maintaining distance. But there is one thing. Vegetables compete only with those crops that have similar needs. But if you plant corn, pumpkin and beans nearby, then it is quite possible to get a rich harvest of all three crops.
How it works?
Climbing beans require a dense stalk of corn, while pumpkin ripens quietly from below and thereby forms a shade - a kind of protection from weeds.
Each of the above methods is good to use, and if they are used simultaneously, even the neighbor who supplies vegetables will envy the harvest.
