When there is still snow on the garden plot, life begins to boil in the greenhouses. At this time, you should not yawn, but rather clean up and prepare the greenhouse for sowing green manure.
If you manage to do everything on time, then the green manure will be able to grow as long as it should, and the seedlings will not overstay their welcome in apartments.
When to prepare greenhouses
It all depends on the climate and weather. As soon as the temperature in the greenhouse is above zero and stays there for a few days, you need to start cleaning up.
At this time, the walls and frame of the structure are washed, the remains of vegetation are removed, the soil is disinfected if necessary, and its restoration begins.
Greenhouse treatment against diseases
1. You can prepare a soap solution and add mustard powder to get a persistent mustard smell and rich color.
2. Most often, a solution of copper sulfate, Bordeaux mixture or other industrial products are used for disinfection.
3. A great option is a sulfur candle. Its advantage is that it helps to deal with bacteria and pests at once.
Pest control
In this case, it is better to use smoke bombs.
It makes sense to use the already mentioned sulfur candle when it is possible to tightly close the greenhouse.
It has only one drawback: if there are unprotected metal surfaces in the greenhouse structure, then corrosion cannot be avoided.
The smoke from the smoke bomb destroys pathogens of fungal diseases and insect pests, even those hiding in the most inaccessible cracks.
A similar effect can be achieved by using a tobacco smoke stick.
It does not harm metal structures and is effective in controlling insects.
There is no point in starting soil cultivation and procedures to improve its health before this point.
