Tibetan Malina: Landing
For a good yield of strawberry raspberries, the task of the garden - choose the right place to plant seedlings, it is worth considering the following factors:
- Tibetan raspberry variety is unpretentious to illumination, so the shrub can be planted in a half, under the crown of trees, and on the sunny side of the garden.
- The optimal soil for the cultivation of the Malinnik will be driving soils or a soup soil with an alkaline or neutral reaction.
- When choosing the area of \u200b\u200bthe garden for thickets of raspberries, it is worth remembering that the berry culture is very quick and actively growing. For one or two years, the bush is able to grow up to two meters in diameter.
- Raspberry Tibetan volatile does not endure moisture stagnation, so it is necessary to follow the level of groundwater level and choose the sublime areas of the garden or with a slight bias. Especially dangerous for the Tibetan raspberry of the depressions on the site, where the snow does not come together or the rainwater is accumulated. If the probability of stagnation of moisture in the ground exists, it is recommended to see the drainage layer in advance when planting seedlings, dig up the grooves for removing excess water or lift the bed, making them elevated.
How to plant Tibetan raspberry
Experienced gardeners are recommended to plant a warehouse raspberry at the beginning of autumn from September 15, the landing time is extended until the end of October. Buy Tibetan raspberry saplings can be in the shop for gardeners. When buying, you need to pay attention to the root system and the trunk of a young escape. Yellow twisted raspberry leaves, damaged or frying root say that the seedling is unsuitable for planting, as it may not be worried.
Given the fact that Tibetan Malina gives a thick piglet and quickly occupies a new area of \u200b\u200bthe territory, ousting all its "neighbors," before landing it is necessary to limit the site under its breeding. To do this, roll into the soil, along the perimeter of the area allotted under the landing of the Malinnik, to a depth of 40-50 cm, suther pieces, linoleum, metal sheets. A peculiar underground edge will become an obstacle to grow radiating. If you do not take care of it before landing, it will be much more complicated later to fight thick thickets.
Tibetan landing scheme:
- Tibetan raspberry seedlings are planted with even rows, which will allow you to get to Malinka during the harvest when the bushes grow out. The optimal distance between rows of 0.5-0.7 m. After two rows, it is necessary to take a passage, and then again plant new two rows of raspberries.
- Planting seedlings from each other is necessary at a distance from 0.5 to 1 meter. In the first year, the raspberry bushes will look neat and isolated from each other. Already on the second or third year, when the ground part creates, the plot will cover with lush thickets of the raspberry Tibetan, which will give a high harvest.
- The depth of the landing pit must be at least 30 cm.
