Kou aloha Me ka ʻole o nā ʻūhā ʻAʻole mākaukau ʻo blogger e hoʻomaka i ka hana ʻana i nā hoʻolālā māla o ka makahiki hou. Akā me ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ka makahiki hou a me ko mākou manaʻo hoʻomau e hoʻomaikaʻi maikaʻi i ka māla lāʻau i kēlā me kēia makahiki, ua nānā mākou i hope ma kā mākou makasina mahiʻai a ʻike i nā pilikia hiki iā mākou ke hoʻoponopono inā ... pono, ʻike ʻoe i ke koena.
No laila, no ka makemake o ka ulu ʻana o ka organik maikaʻi, eia kekahi mau mea i hiki iā mākou ke hana maikaʻi i ka wā ulu i hala.
Ka hakakā ʻana i ka moth cabbage me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pale lālani: I kēia makahiki ua loaʻa iā mākou nā pilikia me nā ilo kāpeti o nā ʻano like ʻole, e like me nā puka lou, ʻoi aku ka nui o kā mākou mau pua Brussels. Ua kōkua ka ʻohi lima, akā ua poina mākou i kekahi mau mea ma ʻaneʻi, e waiho ana i nā ʻōpuʻu ʻulaʻula o Brussels a me kahi poʻo i hoʻopau ʻia e kahi ilo hoʻoikaika i haʻalele i kahi awāwa liʻiliʻi kokoke loa i ke kikowaena o ke kāpena.
Hana ʻia mai ka polyester spunbond premium, Ka uhi lana o Harvest-Guard® He "pores" ka nui e hoʻokuʻu i ka lā, ka wai a me ka ea, akā liʻiliʻi e pale i nā mea ʻino. Mālama hoʻokahi papa a hiki i 29°F; Mālama ka papa ʻelua i ka mahana a hiki i 26°F.
Ua haʻi mai kā mākou hūnōna kāne ʻoliʻoli mai Midwest ʻaʻole ʻo ia i pilikia me nā ilo kāpeti ma hope o kona hoʻomaka ʻana i ka lepo mau i kāna mau mea kanu me ka pauka Sevin a kāpīpī iā lākou i ʻelua mau manawa, ʻoiai inā. A laila, haʻi mai ʻo ia iā mākou, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo ia ka pulupulu ʻana i nā kumulāʻau a ʻaʻole loa i loaʻa nā pilikia me nā ʻōpala ʻili e like me mākou ma nā mauna komohana. Mai nā hālāwai ʻohana ma mua, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o koʻu ʻike ma mua o ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana iā ia ʻo carbaryl, ka mea hana i loko o Sevin, hiki ke noho i loko o ka lepo no ʻelua mau mahina, a me nā pōʻino hiki ke lawe mai i kāna ʻīlio, nā moʻopuna a me ke kaiapuni ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa. A ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o koʻu ʻike ma mua o ka noʻonoʻo ʻana ʻo ka hoʻolaha ʻana o nā pīkī ma Minnesota, kahi e noho ai ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hoʻomehana honua. Akā, ua noi au iā ia e hāʻawi i ka pai a hoʻohiki ʻaʻole e ʻai hou i kāna sauerkraut.
Akā, ua hoʻoholo wau e hoʻohana i nā uhi lālani mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana e pale i kaʻu mau mea kanu kāpeti. Ua kākau nui au e pili ana i ka waiwai o nā uhi kaula i ka wā ma mua. ʻAʻole naʻe au i hahai i kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻo. ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i ka neʻe ʻana o nā mu i ko mākou wahi i ka mahana o ka punawai e hōʻike ana e hiki iaʻu ke hoʻōki iā lākou mai ka waiho ʻana i nā hua ma luna a kokoke paha i kaʻu mea kanu ma ka uhi wale ʻana iā lākou.
No ka loaʻa ʻole o nā pilikia me nā ilo kāpeti i nā makahiki i hala, ʻaʻole ia i manaʻo ʻaʻole e loaʻa iaʻu i kekahi manawa i ka wā e hiki mai ana. ʻO nā hana māla lāʻau maikaʻi loa e pili ana i ka pale ʻana. Pono wau i lawe i kēia i ka puʻuwai a hoʻohana i nā uhi lālani. i luna He pilikia koʻu. He hoʻopukapuka maikaʻi nā uhi lālani. Ma hope o ka hala ʻana o ka moth i ka hopena o ke kau, hiki iaʻu ke hoʻoneʻe i nā pākeʻe e malu ai i ka letus a me nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻē aʻe e maʻalahi i ka lā wela. E hooloihi ana keia i ka ohi ana.
E hoʻāʻo me nā nematodes pono: ʻAʻole komo nā ilo kāpeti a pau i loko o kā mākou māla ma ke ʻano he ʻeha. Hoʻopau kekahi i ka hoʻoilo ma ka lepo e like me nā larva a me nā hua, i pale ʻia e ka mulch, a i ʻole i loko o nā ʻōpala māla i waiho ʻia mai ka wā ulu. ʻAʻole e hoʻopau nā uhi lālani iā lākou. Akā e hana paha nā nematodes.
I loko o kahi pōʻeleʻele a pulu Scanmask® Nā nematodes pono ʻimi ikaika, komo a pepehi ma luna o 230 mau mea ʻino like ʻole me nā ʻauʻau, nā ʻūhā a me nā ʻōpala keʻokeʻo. A ʻo ka mea nui, palekana lākou no nā kānaka, nā holoholona, nā mea kanu a me nā ilo honua. E hoʻohana i hoʻokahi pint no 500 kapuaʻi square a i ʻole 1,050 ipu 4-iniha.
Hoʻohana ʻia e ka poʻe ʻāina e like me mākou e pepehi i nā ʻōpala a me nā mea ʻino ʻē aʻe ma lalo o ko mākou mau lau, ʻo kēia mau mea liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi e hoʻouka i nā hua a me nā larvae a lākou e hālāwai ai i ka lepo. Malia paha inā mākou e hoʻohana ia mau mea ma ka lepo o kā mākou māla kahi a mākou i kanu ai i ke kāpeti a me nā mea kanu keʻa ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole mākou e kolo mai nā mea ʻino mai ka lepo ma luna o kā mākou mea kanu. Manaʻo mākou he mea pono ke hoʻāʻo. Ua hoʻāʻo kekahi i kēia?
E ho'āʻo i kāu lepo: No mākou i hala mau makahiki i ka mahiʻai ʻana, hoʻowaiwai i ko mākou pā me ka nui o ka compost a me nā hoʻololi lepo ʻē aʻe, hiki ke maʻalahi ke lawe i nā mea e like me ka pH lepo no ka ʻae ʻole. ʻO ka wā ulu i hala aku nei, no ka mea, hoʻohana mākou i ka mulch i waiwai nui i nā nila pine acidic, hohola mākou i ka lime dolomite a puni ka pūnaewele, me ka manaʻo he waika loa ko mākou lepo (kekahi kumu a mākou i hoʻohana ai: ua koe ka dolomite mai ka laha ʻana ma luna o ko mākou mauu).
Akā, pono anei iā mākou? Ua lilo paha kā mākou hoʻoponopono ʻana i ka lepo alkaline. ʻAʻole maikaʻi ka maikaʻi o kā mākou mau tōmato i kēia makahiki, ʻoiai ua maikaʻi nā mea ʻē aʻe i ka makahiki tōmato maikaʻi. ʻO kā kāpeti, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma ka pH o 6.0 a kokoke i 7.0, loaʻa nā pilikia. Inā mākou e hoʻāʻo ma mua o ke koho ʻana ma mua o ke kanu ʻana. Maʻalahi ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o nā mea hoʻāʻo lepo o kēia wā, a ua mākaukau kā mākou lawelawe hoʻonui kūloko e hāʻawi iā mākou i nā hopena piha e pili ana i nā pae mineral a me nā waiwai pono ʻē aʻe e pono ai kāu mau mea kanu. ʻO ka mahiʻai ʻana, e like me kā koʻu kupuna kāne i ʻōlelo ai, ʻaʻole ia no ka laki. He hana paakiki. A ʻepekema.
ʻO ka hope: Aia kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe e pono ai mākou e hana i loko o ka māla, e like me ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka manawa leʻaleʻa. Akā i ka makahiki e hiki mai ana, e nānā mākou i ka pale ʻana a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā pilikia ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana. Me he mea lā hiki iā mākou ke hoʻomaka e hana i kekahi mau ʻōlelo hoʻoholo no ka makahiki hou ma ka māla.
