How to weed and huddle the beds

Gardeners are divided into two sides, one spud ridgesothers don't do it. Some gardeners claim that a good big harvest will be obtained if the ridges are hilled, the rest say that the vegetation did not grow on the cultivated ridges. Which of these is really, consider further.

POOLING THE BEDS

First of all, you need to decide on planting vegetation, what exactly to spud and what not.

For example, onions, dill, parsley, lettuce, carrots, turnips, radishes and other crops need to be piled up, otherwise everything will become overgrown with sary grass. There is one weed - this is woodlice, it grows along the ridge. Although it is easily removed, some roots remain in the ground, and it germinates, but at the same time monitors the moisture of the soil and does not allow it to dry out.

A weed like wood lice is not an enemy for growing crops, such as cabbage. On the contrary, woodlice looks after the moisture in the ground and on the surface, supporting the entire environment for the decomposition of nutrients for the soil.

The number of other weeds destroys the cultivation of the crop, it is also difficult to huddle such grasses, most of them are pulled out of the soil without roots, in order to pull out such a weed with a root system, it is necessary to pull it out carefully and giving strength. But one hilling will lead to new shoots of weed, and if the bushes are cut off unevenly and the roots are left in the ground, then even more weed will grow. There is a tough weed that, in order to tear off, you need to huddle and turn over the soil, so you can easily pull out all the roots.

Many agronomists believe that pruning is the ideal way to remove weeds. Also, for humus, you can not throw out cut weeds, since they are used as green manure, or as protection for plants. That the weed has not grown over the entire ridge and plants, you need to monitor its growth, with a size of more than five centimeters, the grass is cut off again, you also need to monitor flowering, it is impossible for the seeds to scatter along the ridge and multiply to the entire area.

When removing weeds, a variety of tools are used, but it is easier to work with one cut, or with a knife or scissors. Correct removal of weeds with cuts, this should be done like this, squeezing into the ground two or three centimeters to the roots. As a rule, all the tools with which they work in the garden must be sharp, processed, if this is not the case, then all the work is smoked, blunt tools will not be able to carefully cut off all the weeds. It is also good to use such tools to remove weeds in berry bushes, such as raspberries. If the culture grown is more leguminous, with seeds, then their root is tough and strong. Then you need sharper tools, as well as a shovel or a hoe to dig in the roots and pull them out of the soil.

Before you throw the weeds into the humus pit, you need to make sure that there are no harmful herbs there that can scatter and grow, for example, a dandelion.

As mentioned earlier, the weed can not be hilled, but cut at the root, before it grows like a lawn. Tools that are used must be freshly sharpened.

We leave the cut grass on the ridges for a reason, it serves as a protection and humus layer, which saves from new weeds that are drawn to the sun. Thus, they grow slowly under the shade of the mulch.

With a large overgrowing of a vegetable garden, you do not need to immediately take a hoe, a machine for hilling.The bulbs of the trimmed weeds become denser and larger when they are often trimmed, so that enough of these are needed to trim them, experts and gardeners, as well as summer residents and lovers of fresh vegetables from the ridges offer the best option: first of all, they are passed with a lawn mower through an overgrown place in the garden, then you need to huddle the soil with a hoe, in order to remove the roots as best as possible, you can complete it with a manual tillage tool, like a flat cutter.

There are a large number of tools for weeding the garden, a hoe is needed to accurately remove the roots of the weeds.

FOKIN FLAT: COMMENTS

The most relevant tool for hilling a garden today is a flat cutter. It is used by agronomists, summer residents and those who love fresh vegetables from the ridges. For a complete study and analysis, opinions were collected among agronomists and summer residents, they also talked about how to huddle the soil.

1. I use a couple of Famin's tools, long and short. I prefer not to huddle the soil, at the first sprouts in May I immediately cut the grass with tillage equipment. I use the short one in digging and hilling ridges, closer to when you can admire your harvest. I also clean it with my hands until the vegetation rises (Marina Ivanovna Vakhrushina).
2. I have been using such a tool for more than two years now, I don’t understand how I used to do without it. But they did not succeed in working right away, it always happens, you get used to it, everything will work out. My debut in hilling the site was a very overgrown land: the tops were so high that the planted crops themselves could not be seen, they did not look after fourteen days because of the county. At first I decided to cut off everything with Fomina's tool, in which I was disappointed, because of the large accumulation of tops, I did not notice the planted plants, in the end I cut everything off. I scored on everything, decided to do it as before, manually, put on mittens and began to tear cleanly with the roots. She threw the tops in a heap, then carried them to the compost pit, where the grass rotted and served as a good humus for the earth. As a result, bare ridges. She returned seven days later, the ridge was bare, but sprouts began to appear in some places. This time a plane cutter was needed. I have two such tools, at this moment a long plane cutter helped me so that I did not bend over, I did everything with ease, picked up five centimeters in the ground and that's enough. The soil is perfect, bare, without weeds, the ridges are as good as new. I repeat this action as I come to the garden. And on a sunny day, I am constantly in the garden, I can weed the soil up to four times. This is better than the usual hilling. Remove once, and then just follow the sprouts of new weeds (Inessa Eduardovna Shaiko).
3. Such a wonderful tool Fomin saves even in the most difficult moments, even when it is impossible to pull out the roots with the help of the most innovative tools. The children leave their son for the summer, he also helps, he only cuts down the weed behind the barn, in the raspberry patch, you can't remove everything with a lawn mower, so I gave him a flat cutter. I cleaned everything up (Irina Sergeevna Fomina).
4. For four years now I have been pruning weeds with a tillage tool. I plant potatoes, but the tops grow quickly, you won't have time to remove them. So I clean the whole garden once every seven days, because the tops will increase. It's hard to work the soil with a chopper, so before that I run with a flat cutter, and therefore again with a hoe, it's faster and easier (Elena Sergeevna Mamaeva).

   

5. I do not make any effort to cut off the weed, but it grows a lot in the summer, you do not have time to remove it. I choose with a long handle so as not to bend over, as my back will hurt. I cut it off not in the soil itself at the root, because the land is not easy today, but at the level of the ground, and I put it on the garden bed. Will decay or will be in the quality of mulch (Valentina Evgenievna Sergeeva).
6. I like to cut with Fomin's tool, but my sister does not know how, it is inconvenient for her.Before picking up a flat cutter, you need to understand how to use it in the garden, you need to walk over the surface of the soil, and not stick it into it. To prune denser and stronger roots, you need to try, more often strong hands are engaged in this. You can also use the pruning technique in the ground, so the tops will germinate for a long time. And lastly, all instruments must be sharp (Alexey Petrovich Nikitin).
7. You can not hammer into the garden, or rather on its overgrowth with weeds, if you remove it once every three months, it will be much more difficult even with special heaped tools. It is impossible to make a mistake in the choice, whether it is a hoe or a ploskorz, with hard, rammed earth, you can only work with a hoe, Fomin's tool will not help here in any way. Fomin's tool will come to the rescue on loose light soil. Harvesting the tops takes half an hour in time. For fertilization, we do not use chopped herbs, we put fertilizers in the form of minerals, additives, vitamins. I remove all the weeds in a heap, and take them to the compost pit, where it rots, and then I fertilize the soil with it with ready-made humus (Pyotr Ivanovich Golitsyn).
8. I know this tool not so long ago. It is still difficult for me to work for them, crawling on the ridges is also inconvenient, so for now I am doing everything with my hands. As a result, I ruined half of the landings. Hilling potatoes went with a bang. There are also fake Fokine guns. The originals differ in that, firstly, they have a rectangular handle, he chops off plants at the right angle (Svetlana Mikhailovna Ignasheva).
9. Such a tool, like any other, is convenient to work only in the country, where huge tops do not grow, which can grow to a huge amount. Such weeds must be removed from the roots, thoroughly checked everything, not taken into compost, but thrown into the fire (Evgeny Petrov).
10. This tool did not work for me. It's absolutely unbearable on small ridges! Only hands in mittens! Such a tool will help when a completely neglected case, but they can only be hooked, and already manually pulled out. The only way! I also don’t work with a hoe, it’s not an easy job. Therefore, I do everything by hand (Klavdiya Aleksandrovna Novikova).

HOW TO FLOOR THE BEDS

1. To begin with, you need to constantly monitor your garden, remove weeds as they grow.
2. Then, woodlice, which has already grown into the ground, should not be removed from the root system, but only walk along the surface of the ground to remove excess grass and five centimeters of a shoot in the ground. Thus, woodlice does not multiply on the ground, but begins to renew itself from the same bulb from which it was torn off. With inaccurate removal of weeds, it renews itself and begins to grow larger. Therefore it is necessary to use a special tool.
3. In conclusion, you need to remove weeds from the garden just before planting, then monitor the condition of the ridge and gradually remove woodlice from the ground.

It is inconvenient that you can remove not only weeds, but also fresh plantings. Thus, crops must be planted strictly along the lines, placing pegs with the name of the culture. You can also make fences with a rope, these will be the dividing lines of crops, the gap between them is twenty centimeters. The rope can be left until harvest. You can also not wait for the weeds to come out, you can simply loosen the ground and pull out the cockle with small roots. Or use a weeding tool or hoe.

WHAT EQUIPMENT IS POSSIBLE TO PUMP

There are many tools for hilling plots in the garden. To find good equipment, you need to consider the main thing that it has a long handle, since if you constantly bend over, your back will hurt.

The handle should also be comfortable, and the blade itself should carefully and accurately cut the bushes above the soil surface. There is a tool with a blade - an arc, it serves to remove weeds, weeding. But it is not suitable for everyone, it will be convenient only for tall people because of the degrees of the angle.Thus, when buying, you need to thoroughly check everything.

Agronomists - engineers have invented a lot of equipment for tending a vegetable garden. Today, our gardens are increasingly overgrown due to improper care. Therefore, first of all, you need to study all the rules, and then start practice.
