Calmble from pest
You can land seedlings to a greenhouse in May, but how to care for plants? How to prepare the soil in the greenhouse? Our gardeners are mostly greenhouses not heated (in the heated seedlings are planted in April), simple film or glazed. Before putting the soil to the greenhouse or to plant seedlings in bed, we must disinfect it, the cultivation of cucumbers in winter requires the same.
The greenhouse is disinfected by such a solution: carbofosomes (personally I use this method 20 years, so do not be afraid of carboofos), observing safety regulations (respirator, gloves, apron, etc.). And if the greenhouse does not process, there will be a semi-segment of pests.
We take 50 g of carbofos on 10 liters of water. Solving consumption: 1 l per 10 sq. M. Mena (this is the earth, and ceiling, and walls), especially good need to wash the corners of the greenhouse.
Do not mistake: 10 liters of 100 sq.m.
Although the carboofos is a rather unpleasant smell, I also add a complete tablespoon of a premium tar soap to the solution (soap must dissolve well). This is particularly efficiently destroyed by a web tick, which is terrible than the word.
So, processed. We do not have pests. And if there will be diseases in the plants, they will be treated during vegetation. If the Earth was used somewhere 2-3 years, it must be processed: 40 g of copper oxihloride on 10 liters of water - and also 1 liter of 10 square meters. m earth. Now close the greenhouse for two days, then ventilate. And all - in this greenhouse you can work.
Merities on the wire
Now about the soil. Gardeners know that the cucumber is simply not growing on clay. It is very demanding of high-grade loose, well ventilated, water permeable soils. The best soils are drum, I advise you to add vegetable or dung leveling there, but not manure, in no case is no manure! If someone fresh manure adds to beds - this is the end of everything! From him there will also begin the root rot.
What is roasting rot? Here, for example, a cloudy day. Sheets stick out, such all pretty, green, elastic.
But only his sunshine looked out, they fall, they walked - this is the first sign of Kornish rot. So do not feed the fresh manure and do not add to the ground. Another thing is a dung humus - brown, homogeneous, loose, which broke the year two, overtaken with leaves.
I recommend to take in equal parts of the subline soil, humus and peat - mix everything, it is a very good composition. You can also take in equal parts of humid, turf, peat and even wood sawdust. But not fresh! It is better to take the lying and be sure to spray with a solution of urea: 100 g of urea on the water bucket. We simply shed outflows by this solution and then they will not take nitrogen from the soil.
And fresh humus and manure - for cucumbers, I repeat, death. Cucumber beds need to be located from west to east to better lit by the sun. Width - 60-70 cm. Then you can make some nutrient mixture on ready-made beds
- For cucumbers, for pumpkin crops.
They made, reheated, made wells, added a mixture of land with a humus and shed a natural growth stimulator solution. Personally, I take 1 capsule on 10 liters of warm water (40-50 °), well stirred and shed (2-3 l consumption per 1 sq. M). And on the second day you can already plant seedlings.
If you have a new greenhouse, before falling down seedlings along each bed, pull 2 \u200b\u200brows of wire to the height of the greenhouse (1.5-2 m). Wire from wire - at a distance of 30 cm. The wire must be very well consolidated so that it does not break under the weight of the harvest.
To experience the strength of the wire, after fastening, hang on it (better if it does a man with a good weight). After all, the cucumbers are watery, heavy. If you have already been previously stretched with a wire, you need to wipe it with a damp cloth moistened in a tar or economic soap. I advise on May (from 1 to 13-20th) to plant seedlings. And if they were not raised - you need to sow seeds. Seed out we land at a distance of 50 cm from each other in the greenhouse. For better lighting, it is planted in a checkerboard.
Seedlings put together with the earthen room in which she grew. We sweep around the stem, and the stem is not closed, because the stem immediately gives root. And these roots are short-lived, they die, and the stem boosts, splits, the infection falls into it, there are roasting rot.
Greenhouse - not jungle
It is very important to take care when building greenhouses so that there will be no cracks in it, where the cold air can penetrate.
A draft is death. Get out the cracks with cotton, rags so that you do not blow it anywhere. When the plants have 9-10 leaves and minimize frosts (robes know exactly when they stop in their region), it is possible to raise the seedlings with polyethylene twine-com to the wire we stretched, and to form a plant only into one stem that reaches the length of this wire - from 1.5 to 2 meters. At the same time, the side shoots - the 3-4 first leaflers - completely need to plug. Everything that appears there is escape or even a small cucumber - remove everything. After all, 3-4 leaves are a node. A cucumber will appear - he will pick up food, will slowly grow. And all the plant will be poorly developed - minced leaves will be.
In addition, each escape, I pinch the top so that it does not grow more than a meter. And the side shoots leave only a length of 20 cm.
The stem grows, reaches the wire, and then it can be transferred through 2 wires (which is why we pulled 2 wires - if you roll through one, the stalk breaks) so that the end hung is 30-50 cm. Everything is very simple, as you can see.
And then how happens: come to the gardener, and he has a jungle in the greenhouse! Side shoots two meters are tied with clothespores, the ropes are wet, the stems rot, nothing can be seen ... On these side shoots, which I have long had to pinch, short, the mass of uncess, but all of them are yellow, because such a number of shoots is just not It is capable of feeding, and these launches dry out.
Cucumber menu
Watering. In the summer, air humidity must be maintained at 90%. Especially in hot sunny days. How? It is necessary to spray the tracks by which we walk, and they must be wide to be good air access, so that it is convenient to walk in the greenhouse, and not to go out with scratches on the body.
Water vegetables in a greenhouse (not only cucumbers, but also tomatoes, and in general, all vegetables) only in the morning. In the evening we can not water the cucumbers! Diseases may occur because condensate accumulates at night.
Water cucumbers 2 times a week, it is necessary. If cloudy - it is possible and once. On sunny days - 2-3 times, and abundantly. In 9-10 hours. Morning need to water during flowering, during fruiting - from 16 to 20 hours.
Feeding. In the greenhouse you need to make up to 5-6 feeding with mineral and organic fertilizers per season. The first feeding is carried out before flowering, 12 days after landing. On 10 liters of water we take 2 tbsp. l. Any liquid fertilizer for vegetable crops. The cucumbers love liquid organic feeding. Consumption: 1-2 l fertilizer per quarter. m.
At the beginning of flowering (appeared flowers, wounds) in 10 liters of water we divorce 1 h. Potassium sulfate, urea and superphosphate. Or replace them with 2 st. l. Organic fertilizer.
As soon as you raised the first cucumbers, feed the plants 4 times. The first - after 18 days.
We take a granular complex fertilizer for cucumbers, zucchini and patissons -1 Art. l. on 10 liters of water and we consume 5 l per 1 square meter. m. The second feeding is 10 liters of water 2 tbsp. l. Nitroposki.
But if someone has good manure, you can bother with manure, but very moderately (the blade is under-lay under plants can not be!).
You need to take 0.5 liters of manure to 1 bucket of water, stir and pouring this plants.
This feeding can be made again in 8 days.
Greenhouse climates
In the greenhouse, the temperature should be no higher than 30 °. If higher - you need to open the windows. But to open carefully - the cucumbers do not like drafts! Although if it stands on the street heat, you can open the doors from all sides, and the window. Because at temperatures above 30 °, the plant is pulled out, it becomes very weak.
The soil temperature must be 22 °, for this you need to water water, the temperature of which is 24 °, and the water must be from the barrel, and not from the hose. Remember: only the earth is watering, they don't watered on plants! Loose beds with cucumbers can not. They have small roots, mostly go side roots, and they come out of the ground. You can plug them so that they do not be broken, humus, and better - peat.
