ACCOMMODATION fruits and berries on the Site.
After determining the soil type, soil fertility and groundwater level gardener, depending on climatic conditions and the terrain begins to selection of crops and different varieties and their placement in the garden of.
When placing the berries should be aware that strawberries, raspberries and gooseberries grow well and produce fruit only in good light. It is undesirable to place next to the raspberries and strawberries, because they have common pests. Well, if on the periphery of adjacent sections are various berry crops.
The best way to place fruit trees and berry bushes in the area - Accommodation in regular rows with the necessary distance between them and between plants in a row. To make better use of sunlight is desirable to have rows from north to south, retreating from the border area adjacent to half the distance between the rows received the plants. Distance when planting fruit and berry plants depend on the strength of growth and method of forming the crown. Suitable for strawberry one-and multi-circuit landing. On heavy clay soils, preferably one-line fit to the distances between the rows of 50-60 cm between plants in a row - 25-30 cm. When planting strawberries multi schemes for such heavy, moisture capacity is deteriorating soil aeration of the soil and plants, causing severe damage to fruit gray rot. On soils of lighter texture can be applied two-and three-line diagrams of landing. For better ventilation plant shrubs in adjacent rows must be shifted relative to each other halfway. Distance between plants in a row of 30 cm between the rows in the row-15 - 20 cm between rows - 50-60 cm
Fruit and berry crops in the area can be placed separately and mixed. Where separate accommodation for each culture assign a special area. The advantage of this placement is that the plants until the end of his life can evolve without oppressing each other.
The return per square meter in a clean landing to a large extent depends on the culture soon fertility. The later the culture comes to fruition, the unproductive will be used in such a location area assigned to it until fruiting, thus, sealing the fruit trees in a number of berry bushes, you can significantly increase the productivity of each square meter plot To compensate in the early years of insufficient quantity of fruit berries.
Along with a clear advantage in mixed cropping in the garden there is a big drawback - the difficulty of controlling pests and diseases. One month prior to harvest berries stop spraying chemicals, while fruit trees are still in need of treatment chemicals. To poisons were not included in the berries, each plant should be covered with foil. It's not always convenient and time-consuming.
An inexperienced gardener often with mixed planting thickens over the plants in a row. It usually turns out a few years later, when the plants begin to oppress one another, stop the normal growth and fruiting. Mixed planting should take broad aisles of strawberries, vegetables or potatoes.
Placing fruit and berry plants in the area in accordance with the scheme of planting is carried out by means of pegs. At first, mark the rows. They are scheduled landing place strong-growing fruit trees, and only after the landing of plant seals. The work is greatly facilitated if we first draw on paper, on a scale plan indicating the location of crops and varieties. |
