Malina is a unique assistant in the fight against witnesses. But how to care for queen berries to get a big harvest?
About Malina
Malina is a shrub. Overhead part two-year, and the root part of the long-term. Therefore, biologists call it a semi-staple. It grows in one place up to 25 years. True, it is not recommended to maintain it for so long, because over the years, the bush begins to bring a smaller harvest, and the berries themselves are minced. The average age of Malinnik is 10 years old. A shrub is growing in two stages - for the first year, a young escape appears from the ground, which grows only in height, and by the spring it is stronger, the kidneys are awakened on it and fruiting sprigs appear. The root system is rod, but most of the roots of the plant are located in the upper 20 cm of soil, so they need a fertile soil that holds moisture well. Roots of raspberries are poorly tolerated frost. When choosing a place for Malinnik, give preference next to the structure or fence in accumulating, the snow did not allow to freeze the roots, and in the spring it will also moisturize the soil.
Landing raspberry
There are many ways to land raspberries, but among them allocate only 2 - tape and bushes. When planting a bush, the plant is formed around the support, and when the plants are tape landing will be formed in order. Mailing is better to transplant in the fall 15 days before the arrival of frosts. When choosing a landing place, take into account that Raspberry does not tolerate low wetlands that do not provide the right amount of air and the sun, as a result, gradually die away.
- Redoinate the landing hole by 3 bayonets.
- For each square meter, contribute 1 bucket of humus, a quarter of a bucket of chicken litter, a glass of sand bucket, a glass of phosphate fertilizer and 1 cup of urea.
- For landings, choose annual seedlings with a developed root system and shooting thickness at the base of at least 1 cm.
- Saplings do trin, leaving 20 cm.
- Damaged roots remove scissors.
- In order not to damage the wind, tie the planted seedlings to a bar.
- After landing, paint 2 buckets of water.
Malina Care - Pruning
The most important thing in courtroom for raspberries is pruning plants. The more you will do it, the more it will give a harvest. Remove young shoots that do not match the ribbon landing site or bun. Young shoots that have grown after July, remove completely. To increase the crop, cut the top of a young escape at the beginning of May by 20 cm. Thus, he will grow not up, giving all his strength long, and in breadth, releasing new side stems that will give a lot of berries. As a result, 4-5 lateral stems have time to grow over the year, up to half a meter. The next spring shorten by 10-20 cm.
Tricks: In order for you always have a fresh harvest on the table, you can cut the raspberry in the spring for different lengths, and the raspberry will be matured gradually. Suppose one escape shorten just 20 cm, another half, and the third is almost long. So the usual raspberry variety we can turn into the removable, and get a crop during the whole summer.
Malina Care - Watering, Mulching
- Malina does not tolerate the lack of moisture in the soil, if not to water the yield will decrease in two - three times. In watering needs in the first half of summer, that is, in the period of flowering and ripening the berries.
- In the hottest weather, watering at least once a week.
- Perceiving for the mulching of the soil, especially this is important in the first 2-3 years after landing. Mulching retains water, thermal and air exchange in the soil, and also helps in the fight against weeds.
- Since the root system is located next to the surface - it is necessary to loosen it is not deeper than 5 cm, and in the alarms you can loosen a depth of 10-15 cm.
Malina is capable of growing with its root system. To keep the raspberry bushes in Malinnik, dig a trench around the Malinnik to a depth of 30 cm, launch the cipher or tin, which roots will not be able to overcome, and fall asleep the earth.
