Dnipro-2 is best!
I always reread with great interest your magazine, where readers share their experience in growing plants. I want to tell about the wonderful grade of the raspberry Dnipro-2. This is a stronger repairing grade (two harvest per year). The first harvest of Dnipro-2 begins to give very early - somewhere from June 15, and gives it within a month. Berries are very large, sweet, dark red, removed with a cap and do not flow when transporting. Have a brightly pronounced raspberry fragrance.
And in summer, and in the fall
Dnipro-2 is one of the few varieties of remote raspberry, which has the same sweet and fragrant berries as summer. Another positive quality is his endurance. In the past three years, an abnormally high temperature of the air is held in our region in summer, already from 11 o'clock in the morning the thermometer column overcomes the mark at 30 °. Such heat is worth months. And Dnipro-2 withstands this temperature (under the condition of timely irrigation). At 36-38 degrees, about 30% of the leaves were burned, they purchased a light brown tint and wrinkled. Of course, it affected the quality of the harvest. Berries have become a bit more denser, but at the same time sweeter and not lost in size. For several years I have been selling raspberry berries on the market, so I have the opportunity to compare the variety. Believe me, Dnipro-2 - out of competition. This is especially noticeable when comparing the autumn collection berries: such sweet and fragrant berries in cold and raw weather, other varieties cannot give.
Simple tweer
Dnipro-2 requires a mandatory garter, otherwise the shoots on the weight of the berries will simply fall to the ground. The shoots of the raspberry tapping to the upper wire of the choplars with the help of 20-centimeter twine segments. The garter time depends on the quality of the departure and occurs when the raspberry shoots will grow up the top wire by 20-30 cm. The raspberry holder I use the most simple design - single-bed space with two rows of 3-mm galvanized wire. I stretch the first wire at an altitude of 70 cm from the ground, the second at a height of 120 cm from the ground. As a support, we use pipes or corners with a length of 220 cm, 100 cm of the length of which vouch to the ground using the probe. The distance between the supports of 5 m, between the rows - 1.3 m. The direction of the row - from the north to south: it
It is important because Dnipro-2 fruits along the entire length of escape. Practically from the earth itself to the upper wire, the shooters are covered with berries, the value of which directly depends on the amount of solar energy obtained by leaves during the day.
Moderate polyv
Of course, one solar energy for high yield is not enough. The main mass of the roots of the raspberry is located in the upper layer of the soil, which at high temperatures air quickly loses moisture. Soil humidity must be maintained with watering and mulching.
The main thing is not to be too abundant. Water during irrigation should not penetrate the deeper 40 cm into the ground, because the nutrients from the root zone go with water.
To increase the fertility of the soil in early spring, I bring fertilizer's fertilizer - I use 2-year-old humid and nitroammophos. First, I spread the nitroammofosku (100 g per 1 phenim m m. After 2 days, when the earth softening, it is necessary to drain the soil to a depth to 10 cm. I perform this operation using a light motor-block, but you can and the sap. The fertilizer of the soil is spent once a year. Watering and weeding should be done regularly until late autumn.
The main thing - grad.
So with such minimal care, Dnipro-2 varieties shows high profitability. In the last hot season from one meter, the set I collected an average of 2.5 kg of berries.
The thrust of the raspberry, left by me for the production of seedlings, reduces the summer yield of interest on 30. At the same time, the left-handed piglets gives a good autumn harvest, which makes it possible to receive up to 5 kg of berries from one rogue meter. The advantages of this variety can also add good resistance to frost and disease. For five years, the variety has not frozen in winter, and I never processed him from fungal diseases.
Of course, good agrotechnics contributes to increasing resistance to diseases and frost, but the grade genotype is crucial. My opinion coincides with the opinion of other gardeners who believe that Dnipro-2 is one of the best varieties of raspberries.
From July to Morozov
On my site several varieties of raspberries, but I want to write about the autumn, which is fruiting from summer to the most frosts.
Landing seedlings I do this: I dig a hole with a width of 25 cm and a depth of 35 cm, fertilizer by humus. Only one plant put in one hole. In the first year, when the shoots of raspberries reach 1 m or more, cut off the top of each plant. If you cut the top, then the growth of escape will stop, and the kidney will begin to appear, then the sprouts. From one branch will grow a whole bouquet. In this form, I leave young shoots to winter.
My raspberry has been two years old. With the onset of the cold, I do not cover it, it hurts too without shelter. Spring when raspberry
It will break, I cut it again with side shoots.
Autumn raspberries fruits from July to the most frosts, but in the fall of the harvest is richer. Until that time, I remove the bottom leaves from the branches (so that the ventilation was). Soil under the bushes should be wet. The drying of the soil is reflected in the fruction of the raspberry. When berries begin to appear, the shoots can be taped. And so that Rasnia does not climb into the garden, I planted sorrel on the advice.
From the raspberry I do delicious, compotes, jam, which is very useful when cold, and wonderful raspberry wine with a unique taste.
I will be glad if someone uses my advice in the cultivation of useful and unpretentious berries.
