Daikon (other names - Bailobo, Japanese radish or Chinese radish) - unpretentious in the cultivation of rootpode, is growing rapidly and is distinguished by a high germination. Dike varieties are somewhat, the experienced gardens give preference to such varieties like "Dragon", "Minnay", "Elephant" for their juiciness, moderate sharpness and fragrance.
1
Daikon is planted in the second half of July - early August, when the light day declines. If you sow it in the first half of summer, when the light day is long, Daikon will let all the strength on bloom, and the rootpode will be sick and dry.
2
The perfect place to bed will be a plot where the garden strawberries grew 3-4 years. I don't need tortured bushes to harness, just cut the ground part (it will go to compost), and the rhizomes will be excellent fertilizer. For the cultivation of daikon, a loose land is needed. Groke Sprinkle with a fruit of chicken litter. With the help of a cultivator, the ground is deep into 35 cm, it will also grind the strawberry rhizomes left and move fertilizer.
3
Form the garden 1 meter wide, with the help of a stick or a shovel of the shovels laid two grooves so that between them it was 50 cm and 25 cm from the edges of the garden. The depth of the furrow is approximately 3-4 cm. Put the dry seeds of the dike with the gaps of 4-6 cm. Each seed sprinkles from the watering can not be blurred, and climb the garden to peat.
4
Shoots appear together, about a week, and grow quickly. When you first thinning, leave 10 cm between shooting. In mid-August, over again, it is now, now leaving 40 cm between plants.
5
Daikon moisthed, regularly water it, no less often than once every 2-3 days, especially if the weather is arid.
6
The garden must be regularly loosen, since the earth sends from irrigation, and the root crops may experience a lack of air. After watering, neatly pierce the ground between the plants and around them for a pitchfork. Delete weeds in a timely manner.
7
Daikon does not need frequent feeding. Fertilizer Make one time in mid-August. Use for this aqueous solution of fresh chicken litter. By the end of the summer, the activity of pests is reduced, and they do not apply harm. If a cruciferous fleece is still a lot, pollinate a bed with a mixture of ash and tobacco dust in a ratio of 1: 1.
8
By mid-September, Daikon rooted roots become long, powerful, juicy and begin to peel out of the ground. This means that you can already collect a crop. However, the longer the root crops will be seen on the garden, the better their nutritional value and taste will remain. Therefore, regularly plunge the tipped tops so that they do not damage them. Frosts for Daikon are dangerous, and with warm autumn weather, it is possible to hold it until mid-October. Rights grow in length sometimes to half a meter so that they are easier to pull out of the ground, the bed is pre-abundantly.
Daikon is well stored all winter, the optimal storage temperature is from 0 to 5 degrees. Dykon eat in the food in the cheese and cooked form, separately or as part of a variety of useful dishes.
