Greenhouse - a wonderful invention of mankind, helping to grow a variety of plants in areas that are unsuitable for their natural habitat in the open field.But both want to pamper yourself and your loved ones with fresh herbs, aromatic herbs, fruits with juicy tender flesh.How to do this, for example, in the far north?Outputs two - brought from afar and hope that normal tender vegetables will carry long-distance transportation, or grown on site, erecting modern greenhouses.The second option on closer inspection it may be more interesting, since it can be used to organize the cultivation of a huge number of vegetable crops, including melon growing in the greenhouse.
Naturally, melon growing in the greenhouse must begin with the right of its erection, because this depends primarily on the feasibility of the event.Since the melon - the sun and the heat-loving plant, and the space it needs to allocate appropriate - sunny or well lit and well heated.The root system of melon quite extensive, and the depth can be up to 1 m, so organizing the cultivation of melons in the greenhouse, it is necessary to take this into account.In addition, the melon is able to release the stems up to 4 m in length, and therefore it requires a large area.The way out may be to create a vertical trellis up to 2 m, allowing the melon to grow up, not breadth, as well as topping the top of the main stem after 4 knots.Thus it is necessary to closely monitor the place of occurrence of future and further fruits of their tie to the stems under the weight of ripening melons were not terminated.This can be done using twine or net.
melon seeds are planted in the ground, depending on the type of soil to a depth of 2 to 4 cm, but most of all for the greenhouse cultivation of pre-prepared seedlings in pots.Usually planted in 25-day or 30-day seedlings.Because branching stems holes make for quite a long distance, given the characteristics of the variety.Since a lot of varieties of melon, it is possible to simultaneously try to grow a little, to empirically determine which one is best suited to greenhouse conditions.
Melon loves well-drained loose soil, so before planting in the ground, you can add peat, chaff or sawdust.She also likes high humidity, but not waterlogging, especially during flowering, so watering areas with melon need often.Melon has male and female flowers, but because of the lack of bee pollination in the greenhouse flowers have carried out manually, preferably in the morning.
Melon responds well to fertilization.Feeding melon - not feeding cucumbers in the greenhouse.It should be done more often, about every two weeks.For the best harvest since autumn is not only to make a full range of fertilizers, but also organic (decomposed manure or compost).Generally fertilizer dressing melon is almost the same as feeding cucumbers in a greenhouse - superphosphate, sulfuric acidic potassium, ammonium nitrate.Moreover fed not only plants planted in soil, and in seedling pots.
Depending on the variety of melons ripening period differs significantly.Common to all sorts of signs of maturation can be considered the fruit color change, the emergence of melon flavor and ease of separation from the stem.Typically, they use fresh melon, although there may be some options for processing it for storage, such as a jam or dried and dried.
melon cultivation in a greenhouse - rather laborious and time-consuming process, but the result is a juicy, fragrant and fleshy fruits certainly worth it.
