on the eve of the summer season when we all go to plant tubers and vegetables (during a hectic!), before yesterday’s special orders open in the suburbs, the sale of seeds retail store of seed research Institute of potato economy has not worked. Only just begun here, the results Internet.
meanwhile, even the UN warns that the pandemic coronavirus this year in the world may be a “famine of biblical proportions”. Where the poor peasant and the townsman to go?
the Ruble is falling, food, consequently, more expensive – whether grub is available for a mere mortal? And then 6 or 10 acres, they will last, if not fully at least partially cover the needs in products. As they say, the act of helping the drowning – the handiwork of drowning.
What to do and where to start? Quarantine restrictions on movement.
However, experts advise not to panic.
plot of land only 6 acres can fully provide the average family with potatoes and vegetables. Moreover, with only one hundred square meters with skillful cultivation it is possible to collect 10 bags of “second bread”. For a family of 3-5 people it will be enough and interceptions.
will even exchange barter – if the economy really does go bad and will have to switch to a natural commodity.
However, there is one “but”.
– in Any case do not buy seeds for food the tubers in stores! – warn the Union of growers of Russia. – Need zoned under country farms only varieties of seed potatoes!
the Gardeners working in the potatoes for 25-30 years, particularly pay attention to the foreign hybrid varieties that need to bypass the 10-th road. Yes, their seeds encouraging higher yields. But it is the seeds. But food shall not give any germination.
But where today, in these days, to get planting material? Without which all food of the program Muscovites will be failed safely?
a Specialized market, “the Bench life” in the regions is now also closed, and plant, that no hitting no sense.
For hauling companies offers different varieties of seeds (“Nevsky”. “Sineglazka”, “meteor”), for 150 rubles per kilogram.
But there is a significant “but.”Hauling company working mostly semi-legal, at your own risk until you get caught. They’re also officially closed. Experts of “MK” call on the authorities urgently to legalize them, bring “the shadow”, as did the Moscow authorities. In the current environment, when from the garden once again not to come out, they were transported to the addresses of seeds, fertilizers, means of plant protection.
And it would be nice to conduct field work to Finance at pensioners. Not everyone today have a stash to get everything you need.
who knows, maybe the excess from their gardens in the fall to purchase and shopping?
aspiring citizens who have a busy schedule, “udalenke” and in General, service days and nights, worried that in the may holidays, when we go out to the gardens, they will not have time to do planting. Is it possible to shift the timing of sowing?
We proceed from the fact that the period of isolation in the Moscow region is not just going to last until June 1 (according to some sources), and even more will become tougher restrictions. And that you are no trips to the country and back 2 times a week will not.
what?
Potatoes, our “second bread”, can be planted in the garden in June. Experienced farmers say that the landing time of their grandfathers and great grandfathers were determined just sat bare ass on the prepared beds and if it was not very cold, we set to work. Now in Moscow it is cold, do not have to make such a bold experiment.
in addition, proven: planting the tubers in late may-early June not attracted to your weave the Colorado potato beetle.

“Beginner farmers”, who decided to create his shield of food security, I urge not to hurry. To go from simple to complex.
One of the economy options, which is definitely not “one belly button”, to make a bird.
For an ordinary family is enough for three hens. In a month they will give 60 eggs, that would be enough to feed.
For starters, you can take the chickens just for the spring and summer, from may to September. In this case, experts recommend buying a year-old bird, which is about 150 rubles. And with the coop-don’t bother. Roughly speaking, a large cardboard box shelter from rain and some mesh from cats.
In the experimental farm of the research Institute of poultry farming (Sergievo-Posadskiy municipal district), we explained that assuming maximum productivity, the better the final hybrids of industrial crosses and anything you can imagine. Breed “White”, “Brown”, СП789 for the year the average yield of 320 eggs. If gardeners want to get a bird more beautiful, that the eyes are happy, their productivity is a bit lower – around 250 eggs per year.
Those who do not plan to pay a visit to the cottage once a week, and to reside, experts suggest 4-month industrial breeds of chickens. They cost 300 rubles, and a week or two will begin to lay eggs, 5-month beautiful – 400 rubles. You can check prices and private owners – if quarantine conditions will allow the movement, the search for more suitable option.
you Can get meat-egg chickens: for example, “Pushkin jubilee”, “Moscow black.”
whether the economic effect from 3-4 chickens? The question is moot. The idea is that the egg in the trade network is cheap��E. At least for now.
But keep in mind that its poultry is always better than store-bought. You know what to feed her. The owner she always throw up the grass with nettle and alfalfa. This provitamin A, is very valuable for the body, you then the whole winter will be spent.
Homemade egg – diet (the first 7 days), it has more vitamins. Market eggs in the country, everything in the stores table.
For the day, the average hen eats 110 grams, meat and milk – 120 balanced feed. That is, for a month for this herd you will need a total of about 10-11 kg of feed.
But his own – and the price tags in stores will not frighten!
