Fresh fish in holes for tomatoes. How to grow a good crop: banana peels and other ways to fertilize tomatoes. Other ways to feed vegetable plants with fertilizer based on fish waste

Preparatory garden work begins in the fall with digging. But before you take up the shovel, you need to decide where the tomatoes will be planted. The right choice of site plays an important role in high crop yields.

It is important to remember that it is impossible to plant a crop in one place every year. This not only depletes the soil and breaks its acidity, but also contributes to the development of resistant diseases, attracting pests.

Tomatoes prefer loam, but can grow well in sandy soil with neutral acidity. The earth should be saturated, well aerated and enriched with organic matter. Heavy clay soils will not allow you to achieve a high yield. In addition, the culture does not like close groundwater.

Tomatoes are thermophilic, so they need to choose a "place in the sun", well lit and warmed up. It is better if these are southern slopes in hilly areas, and well-lit, but protected from the wind areas on the plain. The optimal time for planting tomatoes in the open field is the first half of May for the south of the country and the second half of May for central Russia.

A little more detail

This may seem rather unusual, but, in principle, there is nothing surprising in this. After all, in fact, fish is organic, and better fertilizers than it can not be found! Let's see how the seedlings will benefit from such creative feeding:

1. The roots very easily assimilate the biomass decomposed in the ground.
2. Obtaining phosphorus in the required amount. And it is very important in the formation of roots and inflorescences, not to mention the taste, for which he is also responsible.
3. To some extent, magnesium, potassium and iron will go into nutrition. Full-fledged flowering and uniform ripening of fruits depend on them.

Well, there is no doubt about the benefits of this "fertilizer". And although all these useful substances are also present in ordinary organic compounds specially selected in stores, it is still more pleasant to “feed” your garden on your own, especially if you do not need to spend a lot of money on it.

Preparatory work

Tomatoes are rather capricious crops and in the process of their growth they actively consume potassium - about 2 grams, phosphorus - about 0.5 grams. and nitrogen - about 1.5 gr. The figures are based on a 5-kilogram crop of one bush. Therefore, during autumn preparation, the land plot must be fed with micro-, macro-elements and other substances that make it possible to grow and harvest a rich harvest.

Fertilizers and, if necessary, lime (0.5 kg / m2) or dolomite flour are evenly scattered over the garden before digging. Digging is required, as in its process the earth is saturated with oxygen, and some of the pests die. Digging depth - shovel bayonet with soil overturning. What fertilizers can be used for this?

Putting manure

From time immemorial, people have fertilized the land with manure collected after domestic animals. This trend continues today. Manure (a source of phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen) is first scattered over the site, after which the site is carefully dug up, making sure that the fertilizer gets into the depth of the soil.

Preparatory garden work begins in the fall with digging. But before you take up the shovel, you need to decide where the tomatoes will be planted. The right choice of site plays an important role in high crop yields.

It is important to remember that it is impossible to plant a crop in one place every year. This not only depletes the soil and breaks its acidity, but also contributes to the development of resistant diseases, attracting pests.

Tomatoes prefer loam, but can grow well in sandy soil with neutral acidity. The earth should be saturated, well aerated and enriched with organic matter. Heavy clay soils will not allow you to achieve a high yield. In addition, the culture does not like close groundwater.

Tomatoes are thermophilic, so they need to choose a "place in the sun", well lit and warmed up. It is better if these are southern slopes in hilly areas, and well-lit, but protected from the wind areas on the plain.

With the onset of spring, it's time to prepare the site for planting. To do this, it again needs to be dug up shallowly or simply loosened well by removing weeds and leveling the soil.

When everything is ready, make beds along the movement of the sun. The width of the beds should be about 70-80 cm, and the row spacing should be at least 30 cm. A groove can be made inside the beds for the convenience of watering from a hose, along which holes up to 40 cm deep are dug in a checkerboard pattern.

Fertilizers are applied to the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe site or directly to the wells. In the latter case, top dressing should be seriously considered, since direct contact of the seedling roots with unwanted fertilizer can lead to stress, which will adversely affect the yield. If two plants grow in one well, the amount of top dressing is doubled.

So, what to put in the hole when planting a tomato in open ground? There are several options.

wood ash

Wood ash, by the way, is suitable for the active growth of tomatoes and their fruiting. It's impossible to go wrong with her. The ash contains the main elements that garden crops need: magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium. It promotes the active growth of tomato tops, improves the taste of fruits and protects against diseases.

When planting seedlings, it is recommended to put a handful of ash in each hole, or about 50-100 gr. You can add 1 tsp to the ash. superphosphate. After the seedlings are dug in, you can lightly sprinkle the soil around it with a pinch of compost.

yeast mixture

It is obtained from dry yeast with the calculation of 10 gr. on a bucket of water and further infusion during the day. Pour a glass of the mixture into each well, combining with ash, eggshells or onion peels for a general enrichment.

onion peel

Onion peel is equally useful for tomatoes at any stage of their growth. Usually it is taken for the preparation of infusions and decoctions, which are watered and sprayed with plantings. But when planting seedlings, it is used as follows:

• dry completely;
• finely crushed;
• bring into the hole, mixing with the ground.

Useful substances will be washed out of the husk with each watering. Such top dressing will protect seedlings from external negative influences.

In warm regions where frost recedes early, tomatoes can be planted in the ground with seeds. Such plants develop a more powerful root system, they do not require abundant watering, and they are stronger and more resilient. Tomatoes grown in soil from seeds are much more disease resistant.

Hello dear friends!

Tomato seedlings are growing day by day. Tomatoes grow and, like green chicks, reach out to meet us - feed, master. Occasionally, once every two weeks, you can treat them with fish or meat water. Its easy to prepare.

We made it a rule to stand water from the tap for watering plants for a whole day in a special bucket so that chlorine, harmful to plants, evaporates. And when we clean fish or cook meat, we usually rinse them under the tap.

But if seedlings grow, it is better to rinse in water ready for irrigation, that is, in settled water. Pour into a bowl and rinse! You can add to the irrigation water and ichor - meat, fish juice, which remained during the defrosting of food, leaked into the bag while we carry the meat from the store or from the market. No need to boil this top dressing!

Tomatoes get fat from such top dressing, look like healthy fellows. Such meat or fish top dressing of tomato seedlings is a signature dish. What is her force? She is alive. There are vitamins, proteins; there are also phosphorus salts in a very accessible form.

Take a magnifying glass and look at the stem of a tomato. See? It is pubescent with the finest hairs. It can be thought that the hairs protect the plant from pests. But after all, approximately the same hairs, only more developed, cover the leaves of the marsh sundew plant.

Sundew is a plant predator. Once a mosquito sits on a leaf, the cilia glue the victim, curl up and digest, suck out the mosquito broth that is useful for themselves. Soon, an empty shell remains from the midge.

Western scientists draw an analogy between the hairs on the stem of tomatoes and the leaves of the marsh sundew. It is believed that tomatoes are also predators, but only they have not reached such a degree of development as the sundew. And yet, raw meat or fish “broth” turns out to be the most desirable treat for our respected tomato.

It happens that after organic meat and fish top dressing of tomato seedlings, flies suddenly begin to fly out of the soil. This also applies to fertilizing home flowers. How to deal with them? What poisons to destroy?

Don't worry too much. Sprinkle the ground with clean river sand. The layer is about 2 centimeters, and the problem is solved.

See you soon, dear friends!

I myself put the fish when planting tomatoes in the ground. I grow the roots of tomatoes up to half the entire height of the plant in advance. Then I lay the plant with a root of 30-40 cm horizontally and slightly tilt it to the south with its root.

At the bottom of the trench, before planting tomatoes, I lay either fish peelings and heads, or small fish such as bleak - throughout the entire root of the plant.

I sprinkle a little earth with compost on top, put the tomatoes and make a small earthen mound above them. I bury tomatoes at 2/3 of the height of the plant.

When I harvest tomatoes, or rather, with difficulty I tear out the roots from the ground, there are no traces of fish under them - no scales, no bones, nothing. Perhaps the roots of tomatoes secrete substances that help absorb organic matter, or attract bacteria for this purpose. In any case, tomatoes grow healthy and almost do not need top dressing.

According to "British scientists", tomatoes are carnivorous plants.

On plants there are sticky hairs, with which tomatoes catch small insects that fall into the soil, where they are absorbed by the roots.

Periodically, I arrange the following top dressing for tomatoes: I dilute the liquid left after defrosting fish or meat several times with warm water and water it under the root.

There are about a thousand carnivorous plant species on earth, including the potato. I have never added fish under potatoes when planting, but after analyzing the situation, next spring I will definitely do it.

Now I want to say a few words about the dangers and benefits of using rotten fish and other organic matter in agriculture. Harm, I think, is only one - these are plantations dug out by cats and other animals.

In general, I love animals and I think that it is possible to negotiate with them, because they are only interested in fresh fish. A small portion on a plate next to the garden satisfies their appetite.

And to protect the beds, this is what I do: I cover the plantings for a day or two, but if the areas are large, you can spray the garden with a decoction or tincture of citrus peels or put them along with the fish.

You might think that the fish will smell terrible in the area? No. If you put the fish at a sufficient depth (20-30 cm), there will be no smell, and the roots of the plants will eventually take what they need.

In general, all organic fertilizers have a not very pleasant “aroma”. However, no one is embarrassed by the stench of the infusion of rotten grass, beautifully called "green kvass", which spreads over tens of meters and is not washed off by hand. What about manure? And at the same time, stale fish is also called poison ?! By the way, slightly rotten fish is served at the table in Sweden, and, mind you, not in the suicide club, but in restaurants ...

How and what organic matter to use in the garden, everyone decides for himself. The end result matters. And the best proof of the right decision is a sugar and fleshy tomato grown in the north of the Leningrad region.

1. Some readers argue that planting potatoes with fish is harmful, as cadaveric poison is released, which the vegetables absorb. But so far, no one has proven this and has not told. Let's say that the poison is released, but in meager doses, and does not bring any harm.

   And now another question. Recently, a method of treating potatoes before planting with a well-known commercial preparation for the destruction of the Colorado potato beetle has been widespread. The manufacturers of this poison claim that it does not affect a person. Which of the summer residents conducted research on this topic?

   I have published many articles on planting potatoes with fish and have been criticized by many for this method. And with this landing, I achieved the following successes:

   Completely got rid of the wireworm;
   doubled the yield
   moles bypass the site.
   Hence the conclusion: the wireworm and moles do not respect the smell of fish, and the fish itself turns into fertilizer, which increases productivity.
   In the Republic of Altai, we have a testing center of the Federal State Budgetary Institution “SAS Torno-Al-aiskaya”, which is located in the village of Maime and is engaged in testing feed and soil. I turned to this center for help to identify harmful substances, in particular cadaveric poison, in my potatoes grown with fish.

   Samples are shown in the photo: under No. 1 - potatoes grown with fish; under number 2 - potatoes grown without fish. The tubers are taken of the same size, of the same variety, the plots are located nearby. From the test report it is clear what and what the difference is in the tested samples. But the most important thing is that no poisons were found there!

   The protocol is attached. So, dear readers, study this document carefully and decide for yourself whether to plant potatoes with fish or not.
