6 TAGETES – 6.45 - MARIGOLDS TO FEED THE SOIL

 
You Can Chop and Drop Marigolds You Don’t Harvest to Feed the Soil
 
Finally, you can also chop and drop your marigolds at the end of the growing season to add organic matter to the growing areas.
There is some evidence to suggest that this may help to reduce nematode issues. It may not kill the nematodes themselves after the living plants are felled. But it is believed that the increase in organic matter will promote populations of beneficial soil life that will help to keep negative nematode numbers down.
 
How To Incorporate Marigolds in Your Vegetable Garden
 
Longer Lasting Arrangements
 
Marigolds are also a flower that is suitable for drying. To dry your marigolds, you can use a number of different methods.
The easiest method is simply to hang bunches of the flowers to dry in a warm and low humidity area. The area should have good air circulation and be out of direct sunlight. Then simply leave your marigolds to dry there, undisturbed, for 2-4 weeks.
 
You can use dried marigolds in a range of decorative ways around your home.
You can also dry and store the petals for making marigold tea. A tea made from marigolds has a mild, rather bland flavour but gives good colour. Marigold petals are therefore often mixed with other botanicals, like mint, for example.

Marigolds pia ni maua ambayo yanafaa kwa kukausha. Ili kukausha marigolds yako, unaweza kutumia njia kadhaa tofauti.
Njia rahisi ni kunyongwa tu mashada ya maua ili kukauka katika eneo la joto na unyevu wa chini. Eneo linapaswa kuwa na mzunguko mzuri wa hewa na kuwa nje ya jua moja kwa moja. Kisha tu kuondoka marigolds yako kukauka huko, bila kusumbuliwa, kwa wiki 2-4.
 
Unaweza kutumia marigolds kavu kwa njia mbalimbali za mapambo karibu na nyumba yako.
Unaweza pia kukausha na kuhifadhi petals kwa ajili ya kufanya chai ya marigold. Chai iliyotengenezwa kutoka kwa marigolds ina ladha isiyo ya kawaida, lakini inatoa rangi nzuri. Kwa hivyo, petals za marigold mara nyingi huchanganywa na mimea mingine, kama vile mint, kwa mfano.

→ For any crop, always research and secure a market before investing in production. This ensures a sustainable farm business operation that is market driven. Answers to the following questions are important: Who will buy? At what price? Where? Who will provide transport? Are there any hidden costs of selling? Can I add value to my produce? How can I best package and sell my produce?
→ Get trained on production and business. The training should cover; land preparation, varieties, fertilizer requirements, management (record keeping,
accounting, marketing), pests and diseases, possible problems and solutions, harvesting, storage and transportation.
→ Soil quality and water available are key to successful production. Take soils for analysis and ensure you have a reliable water source.

6 TOMATOES – 6.51 - PRODUCE GREAT ROOTS BEFORE PLANTING OUT

 
The problem of all tomatoes growers is that they do not create big roots. Tomatoes and potatoes are the only plant which grows roots, to the side of the steam, so in the phase of nursery you must transplant potatoes 2 times in bigger pots until the roots are 20 to 20 cm. than you plant them in the garden. Transplant and set deeper until the first leaves and again until the first leaves and at best give water from a basin on the feet.
 
The other problem is the disease, I see it all day in the farming groups here. You need repellant plants against the insects and wilt, destroy them with repel plants. Plant garlic and onions and others around and beside the tomatoes and make the insects confuse.
Farming is more as only to set a plant in the earth and give water. learn more  …

Tatizo la wakulima wote wa nyanya ni kwamba hawana kuunda mizizi kubwa. Nyanya na viazi ni mmea pekee unaokua mizizi, kwa upande wa mvuke, hivyo katika awamu ya kitalu lazima kupandikiza viazi mara 2 kwenye sufuria kubwa hadi mizizi ni 20 hadi 20 cm. kuliko kuwapanda bustanini. Pandikiza na kuweka ndani zaidi hadi majani ya kwanza na tena mpaka majani ya kwanza na bora kutoa maji kutoka bonde kwenye miguu.
