Cách trồng dưa leo hữu cơ sai quả trên sân thượng

Hi everyone, after two articles about raising earthworms and making your own IMO4 product, now let's grow a fruitful organic cucumber trellis together. I mix warm water in a ratio of 2 parts boiling water and 3 parts cold water to soak the seeds. You soak the seeds for about 4 hours, then use a damp cloth to wrap the seed package. After 1 day of incubation, you can plant the seeds. At this time, the seeds have not germinated yet. You can incubate them until they have just germinated by opening them every 12 hours to check if the seeds have germinated. After 12 days, the plant has 1 real leaf, then you can plant it. Prepare the planting pot, I use a pot with dimensions: length - width - height of about 65 - 45 - 30 cm, with a capacity of 70 liters, the pot has drainage holes at the bottom and side. In this article, the cucumber pots do not use any fertilizers or pesticides, so I have added plastic pipes used to contain kitchen waste such as discarded vegetables and fruits to create nutrients for the plants. With a 114mm pipe, you can only need 1 pipe placed in the middle of the pot. For smaller pipes, you can place 2 pipes (With a 114mm plastic pipe, 30cm high and 18cm below, I divided it equally and drilled 6 holes in each row and there are 6 rows. I drilled the holes with an electric soldering iron). The soil I mixed was coconut peat, rice husk ash, rice husk and composted cow manure and added about 30% topsoil. I put a little earthworm manure in the plastic pipe, as a way to raise earthworms and put in kitchen waste later. Drill the planting holes a little deeper than the topsoil so that the plants can grow more firmly. After planting, water the plant. If you can avoid watering the stem, you should avoid it. The stem is soft, the leaves are big, and if you water it before climbing the trellis, the plant will immediately curl up. Because the purpose of growing vegetables is not to use fertilizers or pesticides to treat fungi or pests, I use IMO4 to spray the plant every week. I have a previous article talking about IMO4, you can refer to it. When spraying, you should spray from afternoon to evening so that the beneficial bacteria in IMO4 can survive longer. You need to choose a sunny place to grow cucumbers. If there is a lot of sunlight, the leaves will droop, which is normal. When the plant has 4 real leaves, I will cut off the top, leaving 4 leaf axils. When the plant grows shoots, I will prune them, leaving 2 shoots. To quickly decompose the waste in the plastic pipe into nutrients that the plant can absorb, I mixed IMO4 and poured it directly into the pipe. Just once for the entire process of growing this cucumber plant is enough, and you can add kitchen waste continuously until the tube is full. After 26 days of planting, the cucumber has started to flower, only the first few flowers of the plant are male flowers, the rest are female flowers. After 32 days, this is the period when the plant concentrates on flowering and fruiting the cucumber, you see mostly female flowers, however, this is a self-pollinating cucumber variety, so rest assured, even if there are no male flowers, the female flowers will still develop into normal fruit. At the time when the flowers bloom, the fruit needs to form, so nutrition for the plant is very important, so I will add cow manure to the plant, the manure you are seeing is more correct, because this is a cow manure product that has been used to raise earthworms. That means you can use composted cow manure, vermicompost or any other composted manure, for example, this pot is quite large and has a kitchen waste container, so I only fertilize it once during the fruiting period, but for smaller pots, you can add composted manure periodically every week. For those of you who use chemical fertilizers or organic fertilizers in the form of pellets with high nutritional content, be careful when using them to fertilize the plants at this time, because during this period the plants cannot be shocked by nutrition, if you shake them, the young fruits will turn yellow and spoil instead of developing. Now I trim the old leaves below so that the base is more airy and the tree can get more sunlight. When the tree grows naturally, with a dense amount of fruit, some of the fruits will shrivel and spoil, that is normal, because the tree is not strong enough to nourish all the fruits. To avoid the fruit being sucked by the yellow worm, I use a mesh bag to cover the fruit. Cucumbers do not tolerate waterlogging, but the plants absorb a lot of water. For each row of 3 pots like this, I water with a 20-liter bucket for each watering, 1 to 2 times a day, depending on the season. Cucumbers are quite fast to harvest, so you should take the fruit out after 3-4 days, for small fruits, 4 days, for larger fruits, 3 days is enough. This is the result after 42 days of planting. To have a nice angle, I trimmed the leaves at the bottom. To make the image lush, I let each vine have 3 mature fru...
