what to fasten and how to fasten the ties for the film • part 2. We speed up the ripening of strawberries ... Health to all viewers and congratulations on the beginning of another season We began the strawberry season, of course, by cleaning the strawberries from old leaves We did not film the cleaning itself, since there is sooo much information on this issue I will only say that we clean by tearing off all the leaves except the core We remove all the garbage from the hole All dry leaves and their fragments cannot be left in the passages. They get wet from spring precipitation and rot, causing the appearance of rot. Especially in greenhouses!!!! We put everything we have removed from the bushes into a compost pit, sprinkling it with thin layers of soil and watering it with bacteria so that the process of humus and destruction of diseases that remain on old leaves passes faster. Also, if you have old bushes, you need to look at the number of horns. If there are a lot of them, then we leave only 3-4 of the strongest. If you do not thin out the horns, the bush will quickly lose strength and the berry will be small. And what I do not like is that a large number of berries delays the ripening period. The more berries, the later they ripen. And this is logical, because one root does not have enough strength to quickly fill all the berries. When to clean As soon as the forecast only transmits frosts, not frosts) This is no more than minus 5 So we begin At the same time we begin to warm our strawberries What does this mean This is an artificial extension of daytime heat This effect, prolonging heat, is provided by the film In the morning, as soon as the sun rises even a little shining, a warmer microclimate is immediately created under the film And the earth with our smile is already beginning to warm up And in the evening, when the sun sets, it is already cold outside, but under the film for several more hours the garden bed warmed up during the day gives off heat and also prolongs the heat for the strawberries for a couple of hours It turns out that we prolong the daytime heat both in the morning and in the evening What is fiber for? Fiber, according to its characteristics, does not allow frost up to minus 5 degrees This is a density of 30 (fiber weight 30 grams per linear meter) and at the same time the fiber allows the strawberries to breathe But!!!! It does not provide any warming effect. We measured the temperature in winter, when the thermometer showed minus 18. It was the same under the fiber. Therefore, we cover it with fiber only so that the night frosts do not affect the buds and flowers. We must open the fiber during the day when the temperature is above zero. We give the strawberries as much sunlight as possible. We also open the film slightly in sunny weather, otherwise the leaves can simply cook. Arcs Purchased Cut Bent Put on tape Pulled the film in sunny weather Just don't get confused. The film does not protect from frost or even frost
