Playmobile Castle Instruction Manual

May 17 2010

Despite the day today we have got a bit ' di sole, il terreno si è rivelato troppo umido per poterci lavorare: Paolo e Salvatore sono comunque riusciti a preparare altre due cuiere (o "parcelle" in italiano. La parola "aiuole" viene utilizzata per i fiori) , in modo che il terreno sia asciutto e pronto per le prossime coltivazioni.

Valerio è molto soddisfatto dello sviluppo dell'orto: le piantine sembrano non aver risentito del brutto tempo e sfoggiano un bel verde brillante, grazie alle sostanze nutrienti presenti nel terreno.

Oggi perciò ci siamo dedicati a:
-la legatura dei pomodori;
-la concimazione;
-il controllo delle limacce;
-treatment against fungal diseases.

We tied the planting of tomatoes at each pole with a blade about 15 cm so that they grow straight: this operation will be done as they develop, the ligature should not be too narrow.
In some plants we noticed the "subsidiaries" Valerio says that it is better to cut and maintain a single main plant, it might weaken.

On each plant we paid a bit 'of granules of fertilizer for organic agriculture.

We also distributed baits against slugs, which have already feasted abundances ...

addition to the garden snail is threatened by fungal diseases (mildew and powdery mildew) and Louse green and blacks, very high risk, especially after 15 days of rain.
As prevention Valerio has prepared a solution for the cultivation of biological, cuiere sprays on with a "backpack", the container where the treatment is paid.
He mixed in a bucket of pasta Caffaro, sulfur (more fungicide) and insecticide (the active ingredient of which is the thorny).
The solution must be distributed carefully because it is a product contact: unlike those of a systemic - that enter in the system of the plant and are therefore fully effective - this works only in that part where he settled.
At the time of distribution is' important to wear gloves and mask and also take care not to apply it against the wind! A product should be distributed during the hottest hours.
Although a biological soulzione to use you still need to wait several days before being able to eat vegetables and fruits. For some plants this solution can be phytotoxic.
