Grow a pear in my garden
To enjoy juicy pear fruits from your own garden, carefully examine the technology of its landing. In this process, absolutely everything is important: both time and place, and the quality of the seedling.
Stage 1. Choose time for landing
Pear can be seated in spring and autumn. Some gardeners prefer the autumn landing, considering it more successful. Warm, but not hot, autumn weather will contribute to the appearance of additional roots before winter and, therefore, the pear is better prepared for the growing season in the spring. Autumn landing is usually produced at the end of September, when there is slows down in plants. For the Spring Planting, the end of April will come up - the beginning of May, when the Sokotivation has not yet begun. If you have chosen spring to plant a pear, then the soil is better prepared in the fall.
Stage 2. Which soil loves a pear
The best place for a pear will be quite sunny, but not a hot plot. Choose Western or Southwestern, South Garden side. The pear loves black soil soil or gray with a sublibe. Sand or heavy soil clay will not fit. Choosing a place to plant a pear, consider that its powerful roots can go to the ground by 6-8 meters. So, sites with highly passing groundwater will not fit. Highlight or hill is a great place for a pear.
Stage 3. Choose seedlings
Saplings are better acquired in special nurseries. So, you will be exactly sure of his quality. Buying a seedling in the market or taking it from the neighbors, pay attention to the fact that the seedling should not be:
- with fallen roots;
- with rickened roots;
- the trunk of the tree should be elastic and without visible flaws.
If you still seem that the roots of the seedling are dry, then immerse them into the water for 12 hours to restore elasticity and elasticity.
Stage 4. Landing
If the soil on your site is close to the ideal soil for a pear, then the pit for planting is not much greater than the root seedlock system. If the soil needs to be done more fertile, then the pit is preparing a depth of 1 meter, 70 * 70 cm. By the way, it is better to prepare a pit for 3-4 weeks before landing. To prepare an earthen mixture for filling the pit you will be useful for you:
- compost, peat or manure - 30 kg.;
- superphosphate - 1 kg;
- lime - 1.5 kg;
- potassium chloride - 100 gr.
Half the mixture obtained fill the pit, in the center of which they put the peg. It will have to rise above the surface of the Earth approximately 0.5 m.
The roots of the seedling are useful before planting to dip in the clay tank. From the north side of the cavalo, we set a seedling and begin to sprinkle its land, periodically shook to fill in the soil of all emptiness between the roots.
After landing, you need to drown the earth and pour 2-3 veins of water. After the water is absorbed, you need to climb the soil around the seedlings with sawdust or peat layer at 5-10 cm. The sapling must also be tied to the support.
Around the seedling is better to make a circle of an earthen roller. This trick is very convenient when watering: water will not be spread, but will completely go to the roots. Spring and autumn planting of pear is no different. The only difference is that with the spring landing, the pit is prepared from the autumn.

Preparing a pear for winter
Pear preparing to the winter period does not cause many difficulties. Special attention should be paid to young seedlings that will transfer the winter for the first time. They must be hidden. For this purpose, a spruce sweetheart will be remarkably suitable, which is covered with a seedling, and the burlap is covered on top. Adult trees have a well tolerate winter and without shelter. But they are threatened with another danger - rodents. To protect the "delicious" boron, it is necessary to wrap it with a dense paper, a cloth that is impregnated with a special solution that scare rodents.

Substurice pears
So that you can please yourself and our loved ones with unprecedented crop of pears, then without feeding it is not to do. Whatever fertile has no soil, constantly growing roots and the tree itself need additional feeding. Experienced gardeners typically form their own fertilizer making. For example, here is one of the like:
- The 1st feeder is carried out in spring, before swelling the kidneys, i.e. Before the start of the Softness period. The tree spray urea. If you have forgotten and did not have time to carry out such processing, the nitrogen fertilizer is introduced into the soil. It may be urea (80-120 grams on 5 liters of water for one tree), saltter solution (30 grams per 1 sq. M. In a ratio of 1:50).

It is brought to a depth of 8-10 cm into the rolling circle. If there is no such fertilizer, then the solution of nitroammofoski will fit (1: 200 per 3 buckets of water).
- 3rd feeding at the end of June. The feeding will be extraordinary nitrogen fertilizer. Hot weather hinders a good use of all wood with useful trace elements.
- 4th feeding in July. It is carried out again the extraordinary feeding of nitrogen fertilizer.
- The 5th feeding is carried out 2 weeks after the previous feeding. This time already entered phosphorus-potash fertilizer.
- The 6th feeder is held at the beginning of the middle of September. The last time nitrogen fertilizer is made by spraying, as it was done in the spring.
- The 7th feeding is carried out in the late autumn months. Pear at this time only mineral liquid fertilizers are needed (for example, 1 tbsp. Potassium chloride with 2 tbsp of superphosphate, divorced in 10 liters of water).
