causing total destruction. Therefore, the solution to tackling the diseases and insects of the season, and it would be quite short-term and would require plenty of effort and money. While, on the contrary, the observation and the cultivation of healthy plants, which are fully accustomed to the climate and do not feel difficulties, I will help them to deliver the best fruit without much effort.
We will mention some tips in order to beat the coming heat waves cool and rested. The best protection for the plants against heat stroke is the watering right, but having always into account the environment and the next bill. It would be beneficial to plant our plants in the garden in groups, depending on their requirements at the watering. For example, plants that have small roots, such as lettuce, they want a minimum of water but at a high frequency.
It can be done even with the seed plants that do not have a great height, such as the mint, purslane, watercress, and clover, in order to seize even more of our land. Another solution is to create or to take advantage of the existing microclimates in order to grow plants in conditions that have in preference.
For example, the north side of a building will provide shade for the midday hours in order to thrive, plants that don’t require any heat. While the east and the west side will have a limited lighting, and the south side will be ideal for plants that thrive in heat.
By the same logic we can still take advantage of the trees with rich foliage create a natural shading. Even intercropping plants with different shaped leaves, short distances between them, will be beneficial in the treatment of the radiation of the sun.
The cultivation in the tunnel with hood is ideal for salads this time of year. Plants grown in a pot, and do not withstand the extreme temperatures, we can move to a more shady spot, or to protect them with shade.
Last to mention that a very good idea for the heat is the systematic care of plants with the spraying of beneficial essential oils in their leaves. Will significantly help in the protection and healing of the leaves of the plant from the damage of the sun. We will place flowers of chamomile, lavender, calendula, marigolds etc. in a bucket of water, which will leave for a week in the sun, and then diluted with additional water to spray on the leaves of plants.
Finally, the biodiversity and the observation, with the consecutive testing of new varieties, more resistant to climatic conditions, will be guaranteed protection against any obstacle.
