kevad ja kännud

ja sulisevad veed ja veed,
ööd nendest helisevad.
ja mööda märga rõõmsat teed
me juurde tõttab kevad.

ta tuli! :)

mis siis, et ise juba nädalajagu tõbine ja tatine. õigemini mitte enam tatine (seda ma olin ka, nina oli sõna otseses mõttes nagu mahlakask),vaid veel omajagu umbes ja "elevandine". mu isa ütles ükspäev, kui talle helistasin "no on sul ikka jäme hääl" :D.  see selleks. tore on ikkagi, et kevad tuli, ma olen ikka täiesti kevadelaps ja rõõmustan kevade tuleku üle nagu viieaastane :)


Kroonika huvides märgin, et:
- eile, 19. märtsi pärastlõunal külvasin kasvuhoonesse 2 meetrist rida redist.
-  pikeerisin kurgitaimed.  ei, ma ei ole hulluks läinud :). aknalauakurgid, 4 tk, pikeerisin neisse suurtesse mänguasjakastidesse, kuhu mullugi.

Tulpidel on pisininad väljas, aga väga ei uurinud, sest õues  on näol valus olla ja ma parem praavitan ennast toas ja vaatan läbi akna.

Täna, kui kevad tuli, siras imeilus päike varahommikust saadik. pärastlõunal läks pilve ja hakkas sadama.



Aga nüüd siis mu alemängude juurde.

Ilmselt tuleb mul neid kändudpostitusi veel omajagu, aga kuna on huvi tuntud ja materjali tegelikult netis eriti pole, siis võin ma ju postitada ka.


Selle postitusega juhtus tegelikult imelik lugu. Eelmisel ndlvahetusel põletasin taas kände ja panin ka väikese täienduse eelmisele postitusele kirja... aga seda pole mitte kusagil. Samas ma ometi mäletan, et ma kirjutasin...  mul on see häda, et blogisse pääsen ma ainult kodusest arvutist. Kodusel arvutil (läpakas) on aga üliniru klaver, osad tähed ei tööta pea üldse ja nüüd k-täht kadus täiesti. Ka olen ma õhtuks koduse läpaka taha jõudes juba nii väsinud, et midagi tarka ma küll kirja panna ei suuda. Seetõttu kirjutan enamiku blogipostitusi tööarvutist... seda aega on aga tõesti väga vähe, kui ma seda teha saan. Kirjuitan seal valmis, saadan teisele meiliaadressile, millele ma koduarvutist ligi pääsen. Siis kodus võtan meilist postituse ja kopeerin blogisse. Nagu nüüdki :). Kirjutasin eelmise nädalavahetuse kohta ka... aga no pole seda mitte kusagil. Imelik.


Ühesõnaga, põletasin eelmisel laupäeval jälle kände. Kui see esialgne meetod – puuriga augud sisse + puuriga augud risti + immutamine diisliga – oli puhtalt teiste pealt maha viksitud, siis nüüd tegin asjase täitsa isiklikke täiendusi. 


See puurimisega meetod töötab küll, aga jube aeglaselt – suured augud on ju ikkagi väikesed ja suure kännu sisse neid ju päris mustmiljon ka ei puuri. Üks känd õnnestus siiski sedaviisi pea maatasa juba põletada. Pilt pole kõige parem, aga ehk saab aru.




Tahtsin asja kiirendada (ega meil neid sobivaid tuuli, et ennast ega naabreid ära ei tossutaks, eriti pole) ja mõtlesin, et müüakse ju neid nn tõrvikupakke – peened pakud, kuhu on mootorsaega lastud risti lõiked sisse ja need põlevad päris kenasti. Sae lõikesoon on ju esiteks kändu läbiv, mis tähendab, et selle pinda on palju rohkem ja ka õhu juurdevool on palju suurem. Saigi siis võetud mootorsaag ja lastud ülalt alla maani sälgud kändudesse, üks neist teistega risti, et õhu parem  liikumine tagada. 






Ja töötas see väga hästi , natuke on pildilt ka näha! Kuna kännud, eriti männikännud, on ühed igavesed juurikad, siis nad põlevad väga kaua. Ja kui südamik seest ära põleb, siis need „hambad“ mis servadest jäävad, vajavad lisaks puumaterjali, et põlemine toimuda saaks. Neid kände on nüüd 3-e päeval (mitte täispäevad) põletatud ja seda tuleb veel teha, sest päris põlenud pole nad mitte. Päris lahedad "hambad" on õues :).  Eks nad tänu juurtele ka nö „veidi pooltoored“, kuid pisemad vajavad veel 1 ja suuremad ilmselt 2 päeva põletamist. Aga mis siis, erilist tööd ega vaeva see ei nõua ja peaasi, et asi liigub õiges suunas.



ja õhtul sai veel hiigehunnik oksi ära põletatud, mis eelmise aasta jaanuaris 11 langetatud männist jäi - ladvad ja oksad. tahtsin küll juba mullu ära põletada, aga kevadel jäi hiljaks, suvel olid seal hiigelmäes linnupesad ja sügisel ei saanud töömees avarii tõttu appi tulla. sai siis nüüd tehtud. lõõmas hea mitu tundi, sädemed kõrgele tõusmas. tuul muutis aga vastu ööd suunda ja lõkkease suitses alates keskööst seetõttu täitsa valele poole. 

ma natuke kardan pimedat metsa.. eriti selliseid kohti, kus metssead ja haldjad ringi käivad... päev on inimese aeg, öö nende oma. no vähmasti mina sedasi tunnen. sellest hoolimata pidin öösel kl 2 ikkagi oma julguse kokku korjama, ennast riidesse toppima ja õue  kobima, sest nii paks udu oli, et kogu suits, mida polnud küll enam palju, tõusis küla kohale ja jäi siis siia udu alla kinni hõljuma. sedasi läkski siis väriseva sabaga trumm öösel kell 2, ühes käes hark,teised ämber veega, hambus taskulamp vapralt üle silla heinamaale. lõkkeasemel oli suur tuhahunnik, põlvekõrgusest kõrgem. lõin selle hargiga laiali, muidugi oli see hõõguvaid süsi täis ja see oleks seal veel 2 päeva suitsenud. lõin selle laiali, aga 1 ämbritäis vett oli nagu hambaauguga kerisele. käisin veel paar korda edasi tagasi, kustutasin kõige hullemad kohad ja läksin magama. 

järgmisel päeval (eelm pühap) sain sealt 2 suurt aiakärutäit tuhka ja sütt peenardesse vedada. veel oleks vaja :)

Multš veel /tammelehed Tsiilile/



2. Leaves:  If weed control is your goal, shredded leaves are your star. Leaves from just about any deciduous tree work well. Contrary to popular belief, leaves such as oak will not acidify the soil. Oak leaves are acidic when they are fresh, but they lose this acidity as they decompose. To keep the whole leaves from blowing away or forming an impenetrable mat, coarsely shred or chop them (running them over with a lawn mower is an easy way to do it). Like grass, leaves should be spread 2 inches deep and replenished as needed. When you dig into soil that's been mulched with leaves, you'll find lots of plump earthworms, who thrive on turning them into the best fertilizer for your garden....


Ma panen siis ikka juba kogu artikli :) (põhu osas on ka 1 huvitav lõik sideraatide kohta)

Mulch Material Research Report

If organic gardeners named a most valuable player after every season, mulch would win over and over again. Mulch prevents weeds from sprouting up in your garden, keeps soil moist and aerated, protects your plants from soilborne diseases, replenishes the soil as it decomposes, and keeps your yard and garden looking well tended. But which mulch is best for your needs? And how much mulch to use and when to use it? We asked a few leading experts to answer those very questions for you.
For Vegetable Gardens: Mulch comes in a lot of different forms, many of them at a price you cannot beat—absolutely free.
1. Grass clippings: These are great for vegetable, annual, and herb gardens, because you can get them by the bagful (though never use grass that you suspect has been treated with herbicide). They decompose quickly, especially in very hot weather. If applied too thick, they tend to mat down and become impervious to water. Start with a 2-inch layer and reapply often. For best results, allow grass clippings to dry before spreading them.
2. Leaves: If weed control is your goal, shredded leaves are your star. Leaves from just about any deciduous tree work well. Contrary to popular belief, leaves such as oak will not acidify the soil. Oak leaves are acidic when they are fresh, but they lose this acidity as they decompose. To keep the whole leaves from blowing away or forming an impenetrable mat, coarsely shred or chop them (running them over with a lawn mower is an easy way to do it). Like grass, leaves should be spread 2 inches deep and replenished as needed. When you dig into soil that's been mulched with leaves, you'll find lots of plump earthworms, who thrive on turning them into the best fertilizer for your garden.
Climate concern: "Heavy, easily matted materials like wet tulip-poplar leaves do not work well in cold northern climates," says Mary Meyer, Ph.D., professor of horticultural science at the University of Minnesota. Wet leaves can easily freeze into a block of ice, damaging plants instead of insulating them and often leaving a mess behind when they thaw, Meyer adds.
3. Pine needles: The foresty scent is reason enough to use pine needles, but they are also attractive as they decompose (slowly) and they allow water to seep through easily. Though they come from plants that prefer acidic soil, a 2- to 3-inch layer of pine-needle mulch will not substantially change the pH of your soil.
4. Straw: If you are buying straw for mulch, be sure you get straw and not hay. Straw has just the stems of plants; hay has the seedheads, which will sprout into weeds in your garden. Straw breaks down quickly, adding nutrients to the soil. Because straw does not mat like grass or leaves, you can pile it 6 to 8 inches deep in your vegetable beds and strawberry patch. Climate concern: In very rainy climates, avoid straw mulch, because wet, partially rotting straw makes a perfect hideout for slugs. Cover crop. Plants such as hairy vetch or alfalfa that you grow specifically to improve your soil—sometimes called green manure—are effective as mulch, too. We planted a cover crop of oats in our Pennsylvania test garden in late summer, and when it died back the following spring, we simply dug holes for tomato transplants right through the oats. "Plant a winter legume like hairy vetch in the early fall," advises Paul Hepperly, Ph.D., research and training manager at the Rodale Institute, in Maxatawny, Pennsylvania. "When the hairy vetch flowers, cut it down and leave the residue as mulch." Caution: Do not let hairy vetch produce seed, as it will sprout where you don't want it.
5. Plastic: We generally prefer mulching with organic matter that builds soil as it decomposes. But where you need to heat up the soil—for growing melons and other warm-weather crops in cooler climates, for instance—or for total weed control, plastic can be very useful.
Clear plastic warms the soil best but allows weed growth. Black plastic inhibits weed-seed germination as it warms the soil slightly. Newer (more costly) types, such as infrared transmitting (IRT) plastics, combine the weed-control ability of black plastic with the soil warming of clear, and have been shown to improve plant growth and, in some cases, yields.
For Flowerbeds and Shrubs
Where you are growing perennials or in other spots where you don't turn the soil often, you can use mulch materials that break down very slowly or not at all. These also tend to be more attractive than the mulches we've already covered (though a cover crop of red clover is quite lovely).
1. Bark: Typically sold as chips, nuggets, or shredded pieces, bark decomposes slowly but stays in place well (pine bark nuggets may float in a heavy rainfall). You'll find both hardwood and softwood options. Common hardwood types include hickory, oak, and elm. Softwood bark, such as pine, fir and redwood, decomposes more slowly than hardwood. Stay away from cypress mulch, because over-harvesting is depleting vital coastal wetlands, and studies have proven it to be no more durable than more sustainable choices.
Douglas-fir bark mulch is ideal for gardeners in the Northwest, says Rita Hummel, Ph.D., environmental horticulturalist at Washington State University. "It works well in landscapes and is readily available here." Coarse-textured mulches like bark can be layered up to 4 to 5 inches thick, because more air circulates between the bigger particles and water passes through them more easily than it does with finer-textured mulch like grass or leaves. Watch your wallet: Bark mulches can be expensive to use in large areas.
2. Wood chips: You can find tree and utility companies, arborists, and yard-waste facilities willing to give you wood chips for free. They tend to lose color more quickly than bark mulch. Wood chips are a good choice for paths and where you have a lot of ground to cover, but don't use them close to your house, because termites and other destructive insects may be living in them. A popular low-cost choice for landscaping is a recycled mulch made from construction wastes and wood pallets. Keep this away from your vegetable garden, as it may contain unknown industrial contaminants.
Furthermore, a University of Ohio study showed that the use of ground pallet mulch offers little benefit to the microbial soil community. Aerial Attacks: "Wood mulch can harbor the artillery fungus," warns Hepperly, "which shoots a black, sticky spore into the air. This can be a nuisance if it lands on your house siding and even your car's paint job." Current research shows that mushroom compost (available in garden centers), suppresses these shooting spores. Pennsylvania State University researcher Donald Davis, Ph.D., recommends using a mulch mix of 40 percent compost, 60 percent bark (not wood) if you are concerned about an artillery assault. But, he says, "even 20 to 25 percent mushroom compost would likely help."
3. Newspaper: A four-sheet layer of newsprint is very effective at suppressing weeds. Wet it down and cover it with a layer of bark chips, and you'll have beautiful and hard-working mulch layer for any ornamental bed. Ink issues: We do not recommend using colored newspaper in the vegetable garden. Researchers at West Virginia University who have done extensive research using newspapers in vegetable production caution against using slick paper of any kind in the garden. These materials may still contain heavy metals, they report.
4. Rocks/stone/gravel: Durability is both the appeal and the drawback of stones as mulch. They stay put and don't degrade, which means they don't need to be replenished but neither do they improve the soil. Use in paths or around trees and shrubs about 1 inch deep for good weed control and water permeability. Climate Concern: "In hot regions like the South, rocks can radiate heat and cause extreme temperatures around plants," says Gary Wade, professor and extension coordinator at the University of Georgia. "This encourages water loss and can result in severe plant stress. On a hot day, rock mulches in full sun can cause the temperature around the plant to soar into the triple digits."

SÄÄSED!

ja üks kopitud lehetäide vastane lahus:

Make a garlic and chilly pepper spray. Works like a charm.
-Simmer head of garlic (peeled and chopped up a bit) and 5-6 chilly peppers (the hotter the better) in a liter of water for 15 min. Cover and let sit for 24 hours. Strain real well, pressing solid elements while straining, to get all the juices out, but not chunks. Mix with 3-4 more liters of water and add a tablespoon of neutral liquid soap or plain dishwashing liquid and a tablespoon of sugar. Wait till sugar is disolved and stir gently. Spray on plants. Repeat if it rains and/or once a week till the bugs are gone.


s.t.küüslaugu-tshillipipra lahus

koori ja tükelda 1 küüslaugupea ja hauta seda koos 5-6thsillipipraga 1 liitris vees ca 15 min. jäta 24h kaane alla seisma. kurna korralikult, hõõrudes tükkidest välja kogu vedelik . lisa 3-4 l vett,1spl naturaalset vedelat seepi või nõudepesuvahendit ja 1 spl suhkrut. oota suhkru sulamisni, segakergelt. pihusta taimedele. korda  kas kord nädalas v peale vihma kuni kõik sitlased on kadunud.

"...kodus bergaanias rääkisid kõik mulle kogu aeg kohusetäitmisest. krahvinna frederica muudkui näägutas minu kallal selle pärast, kuna minu kohus oli korralikult saluteerida ja naeratada väikestele tüdrukutele, kes mulle kniksu tegid, ja vahetada viisakusi saadikute naistega. võib-olla see oligi minu kohus - ma ei tea, minu meelest on see kaunis tobe. aga see ei tähenda, et kohust ei olegi olemas. minu isa teadis, et on. ..... kohus on olemas, see on päriselt olemas. see tähendab kõigi oma annete ja võimete jagamist nende inimestega, kellel neid vaja läheb. see tähendab, et sa ei karda ega ole ihne - vaid avatud..."

ta pühkis silmi ja pani taskurätiku ära. "kui ma deltertonist midagi ei kuulnud, mõtlesin, et see on äkki märk, et ma pean loobuma püüdest omaenese elu elada. et ma pean käima oma isa jälgedes ja õppima kuningas olema... et seda ta tahtiski..."
"kas sulle räägitakse seda? et su isa oleks seda tahtnud?"
"kogu aeg."
clemmy vaatas poisile otsa. "karil, sinu isa oli hea inimene, ma olen selles kindel. matteo on mulle temast palju rääkinud, sestsaati kui ta bergaaniast tagasi tuli. ma nägin kord ühes galeriis tema pilti; ma ei ole tema nägu kunagi unustanud. ta oli mees, kes tahtis oma pojast ühtainust asja - ja seda vannun ma oma viimse hingetõmbe juures. "
karil vaatas talle silma. "mida? mida ta oma pojast tahtnud oleks?"
"et ta õnnelik oleks. et ta oma tähele järgneks."
