Posted by Dave

In winter, flowers for us no less valid than in summer, because we do not have enough bright colors! So many go against all logic in flower shops and buy your home or a gift of a new green friend a friend. If you really very impatient and wants "a piece of summer" in the middle of winter, take care of transportation purchased the plant in view of the cold weather. In the shop you are unlikely to be offered "hardy" package. Take care of it yourself. For example, the type of old newspapers or sheets of paper on which you can wrap your purchase.

Even if the plant will carry only the store to the car and the car to the entrance, it may be enough to plant if not killed, it fundamentally lost its visual appeal. If you have to be "resident in the tropics," well, not too lazy to stock up on the box, but better – two different sizes, insert one into another, but gap between them for stability, as well as between the inner frame and a plant for heat, lay the newspaper. In such a "thermos" the plant will remain better. Of course, we need more and cover. And, importantly, before you put into this design plant, it must be kept warm. It should say also about the content of plants at home.

In winter, daylight hours, as you know, short, color is often not enough natural light. Leaves have them begin to fade, yellow, sometimes lose their elasticity. In this time of year to release Flower as much as possible places with good lighting. And many colors, such as citrus or hibiscus need additional lighting. To do this, on sale There are special lamps for plants or fitolampy. They are housed at a distance of 40cm above the plant and include in the morning before sunrise and in the evening after the sunset. And also need to take care of the moisture of air. Central heating makes the air hot and dry. Many colors to dry the leaves, they lose their appeal. If you have the opportunity to purchase a humidifier, if not – more often spray your plants. And remember, the winter will or later will, your plants will live, go to the growth and bloom!

In the bottom of a plastic bucket drilled a hole for the em liquid, put in the same bucket. I was lucky: in the buckets were the rings, so between the bottom of the first and second bucket was a space in centimeters five tall. Piled food residues, microorganisms seeded them with the sprayer after each tab. Isolated from the air, put the lid on oppression as a 5-liter bottle of water. But no matter how I , how would often not removed the electromagnetic fluid, the smell was from a bucket. We have seen that for an urban apartment, this method of recycling food waste quite good. For the rural monastery, where a warm barn – it is ideal for apartments – alas. In Internet you can find advice to prepare the em compost in plastic bags with holes at the bottom, the bottom of the bucket put the grill – I suppose that our horseradish radish is not sweeter. Unpleasant odor during composting, as it seems to me evidence of life aerobic organisms, which are beginning to exploit the em, including in their food chain. After all they are capable and pathogens cause to serve the noble cause of healing the soil, water and air. It was necessary to remove semi-finished compost on the site. At first, I raked the compost pile and dumped there a few buckets of residues that they're finished their fermentation. But my tab at an attractive smell found the dog, turn a heap.
