– What else does a family need to live comfortably at the dacha?

Watering with compost liquid
Every gardener has a compost heap on his property. Advice on how to use compost as a fertilizer for irrigation. Use an old water barrel. Place the barrel on a stand made of pallets or bricks on the sunny side. Make several small holes at the bottom and place a small container under them. Place grass clippings, weeds, and leaves in a barrel. After a month or two, liquid fertilizer will begin to flow out of the barrel in the form of a dark, cloudy slurry. Use this concentrate to water plants.
Tomato tops from pests
Fill the cut tomato tops (stepchildren, lower leaves) with water. Leave for two days. The resulting solution can be sprayed on plants, for example: potatoes, cabbage, radishes, radishes, etc., as well as pumpkin plants, for example: cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkins. from insects and various pests.

How to water onions to keep them healthy
Good advice on how to achieve a good and healthy harvest of onions sown with seeds. Many gardeners water onions only with water, without using additional fertilizers. Our advice is to water the onions alternately: with a weak solution of water with ash (1.5 cups of ash per 10 liters of water) and a very weak solution of potassium permanganate. After such alternation, the onion becomes healthy, strong and juicy.
Homemade preparations - shelf life
Many people don’t think about it, and sometimes they simply don’t know what the shelf life of prepared jars is. After 2-3 years, the properties of the product deteriorate and it is no longer safe to use. Therefore, it is necessary to know exactly when this or that winter preparation was made. It is recommended to mark the preparation date on each jar, for example, write it on the lid of the jar with a permanent marker. This way you will know exactly by what year and month you need to use this product or dispose of it. You can also sign the composition of the preparation and who prepared it - in case you share it with family and friends.
How to save carrots until spring
You can save grown carrots until spring - the following advice will help you with this. Leave one or two carrot beds undug. Carefully cut off all the tops, fill the bed with 10 cm of soil on top and leave it like that until spring. With the onset of spring, carefully rake the soil (10 cm) with your hands and dig up the carrots. It will be fresh, juicy and delicious!
Dry bench in any weather
How often have you had to wipe down a bench after rain so you can sit on it and enjoy the fresh air? I think most summer residents face this problem. The following advice will help you. Experienced gardeners have figured out how to solve this problem. It is necessary to make a folding bench, the back of which will fold down, and if it does not have one, then the seat will fold down. This design can be made using loops. If no one is sitting on the bench, then the backrest is folded and the rain will not wet it. When the need arises, the backrest is folded up and fixed to the stop. If there is no back, make a seat from 2 halves connected by hinges.
How to get rid of moles on the site
Have moles dug up the entire area? Then the next tip is for you.
- The first advice is to fill the mole tunnels with household and organic waste that is unpleasant for them, such as pig or goat droppings, herring brine. A less humane method is also suitable - a solution of gasoline and water.
- The second method is a “noise attack”. Moles feel the vibrations of air and earth very well. It is necessary to install metal ratchets on the wormhole. A vibration will be transmitted from the turntable or rattle, which will be very irritating and thereby force the mole to “move” from your area.
- The third way is to make a barrier in the wormholes. For this we need branches of roses or gooseberries. The branches must be finely chopped and buried in all mole holes. Together with the branches, you can use the solutions from tip number one. These barriers, combined with the smell, will drive moles away from your site for a long time.
How to cut cabbage with a shovel - a little trick

Iodine to help the garden
Every gardener has heard about the benefits of iodine for seedlings. This advice is on how to water with iodine solution so that the harvest is good and tasty. First, at the stage of growing seedlings, for example tomatoes, it is necessary to water them once with a solution of iodine and water. The solution is diluted in a ratio of two drops of iodine per five liters of water. After you water, you will notice that flower ovaries form faster and their number will increase. The leaves will be more branched.
In practice, the yield on watered bushes is much larger and better, the fruits are up to 20 percent larger than those of similar non-watered bushes. Secondly, after the seedlings are planted in a greenhouse or open ground, after about 2 weeks it is necessary to water them again with a solution of iodine and water. You need to water about a liter of solution for each bush. The iodine ratio remains the same: 1-2 drops per 5 liters of water.

In the house of dreams
Natalya Filippova, AiF Dacha: Pyotr Petrovich, tell us who in the family came up with the idea to buy a dacha?
Petr Popov : We inherited a plot of about 8 acres on the territory of SPO “Veteran” from our grandmother. Of all the benefits of civilization, only light was installed there. In 1996, they hired a team, dug the foundation, and installed a brick box. It is, of course, very tempting to, say, in one year, insulate a house, install gas, install a sewer system and live with all the amenities. But the family did not have the funds for such large expenses; all this pleasure stretched out for 19 long years.
– How did you solve the problem with heating the building?
– A two-story brick house with an area of about 200 m² was insulated with several materials laid in layers: vapor barrier film, vertical sheathing, mineral wool boards and plasterboard. But they did this a long time ago, the dacha remained summer, unheated. There are 146 plots in our cottage village. Only a little more than 50 were ready to supply gas. Not only is this service incredibly expensive - more than 2 million rubles - but it took another 7 years to collect various kinds of papers and approvals. And only in 2015, a gas pipeline was installed in our house, we bought a double-circuit gas boiler, pipes and radiators were brought from it to each room, heat came into the house, and hot water flowed from the taps. It is a very pleasant activity to independently regulate the temperature in the rooms. For example, in May of this year there was a cold snap, but we don’t depend on anyone, we turned on the heating ourselves. Of course, some summer residents used to live in their dachas all year round, but heating with electric radiators was too expensive, and not everyone liked or could afford to build a stove and heat it every day.

“I can’t even imagine what kind of inner strength one must have in order to spend 19 years of one’s life on construction and continuous repairs like this...
– It’s not about construction or even renovation, it’s just that our whole family loves living in the country. Mom, Natalya Nikolaevna, is an individual entrepreneur. Fifteen years ago, the dacha became an outlet for her, a pleasant vacation. Her interest in plants awoke, she studied a lot of specialized literature, knows all the varieties and their characteristics. Everything grows on the site: fruit crops, vegetables and flowers. For the winter we provide ourselves with potatoes, root vegetables - beets and carrots, as well as cabbage. We make preparations, cook preserves and jams, roll up compotes, lecho, tomatoes and cucumbers. Dad, Pyotr Nikolaevich, worked for many years as a children's coach and football teacher at the Meteor School of Sports. He likes to take care of plants, landscape his dacha, and he can handle repairs and finishing of any complexity. As for me, with the advent of the dacha, I took a new look at plants. They are so entertaining and interesting that I planted a Canadian maple and several gooseberry bushes on the plot. And this influenced the choice of profession (although I am a certified lawyer) - last year I entered a master’s program at the Department of Agriculture and Plant Growing of the Russian State Agricultural University, the largest agricultural university in the country.

– I’m wondering: will this rich experience in repairs be useful to you somewhere?
– Of course, we are now doing renovations in a city apartment. We don’t have time ourselves: we hired a crew. And here I can reveal one secret: no matter how good people your relatives or friends recommend to you, in order to get a high-quality result, whether in an apartment or in a country house, always monitor all the work processes yourself, then in the end there will be something to be happy about.
Foam figures
A dolphin on the crest of a wave, a cute lamb or a fearless lion with a gorgeous mane will be an excellent decor. It’s easy to make such crafts using polyurethane foam.
To get the desired figure, select the base. It should be shaped like the object being manufactured. Plastic bottles, wood, wire, and paper are often used as a base.
The benefits of homemade crafts for the garden
Of course, garden figurines and decorations for gardens and vegetable gardens can be bought in the store.
But a lot of things are easy to do on your own. This way you can have a great time in the winter, remembering the summer days, or find something to do during a quick rain, spend time with your children, showing them the basics of needlework. Making your own decorations for the garden will help you get rid of trash that you don’t dare throw away, and free up balconies, garages, sheds, and rooms in your country house. The material at hand can be anything. Most often they use plastic bottles, tires, remnants of boards, hemp, old toys, kitchen utensils and anything else that the zealous owner (or housewife) has caught the eye of.
Very often, neighbors also become infected with the desire to do something unusual, so soon the entire gardening community is pleasing the eye with cute little things that lift their spirits.
And lastly: original crafts highlight the area and make it an excellent place to relax, becoming a stylish place where relatives and friends come with pleasure.
Feeders and birdhouses
A variety of materials are used to make beautiful and cozy houses for birds. You can use wood, tin cans, and plastic containers.
Crafts for a dacha made from scrap materials will be an excellent decoration for the area. Feeders made from old dishes and car tires look amazing.
DIY garden figurines (photo)
If you decide to decorate your garden yourself, remember that here you need to finely feel the line between the stylistic direction of the garden and a sense of proportion. Because when decorating a garden, going too far with the number of figurines or choosing the wrong type of decorative figurines can easily ruin the aesthetic appearance of your site.
After all, you will agree that figurines of Little Red Riding Hood, Baba Yaga, Kolobok or another fairy-tale character would not look entirely appropriate in a Japanese garden. A green lawn decorated with a large number of artificial palm trees, under each of which there will be a figurine of a gnome, will look even more strange.
Based on the requirements of landscape design, try to choose images of figures in unison with the main direction of the style of your site.

Garden decor - photos of the best DIY crafts
If there has been construction or renovation on the site recently, then some building materials, such as cement, are likely to remain. With the help of concrete, you can create excellent decor for your garden with your own hands .
- To do this, you need to find the largest leaf; a burdock or water lily leaf is perfect;
- Then you need to apply a layer of cement on this sheet, not very thick, but not thin either. In order for the leaf to subsequently stand, the top must be level and smooth, otherwise the leaf will have to be dug into the ground;
- After this, you need to wait about 5-6 hours until the solution dries completely, turn it over, remove the sheet from the cement and voila - the decor is ready.
To prevent your DIY concrete crafts from looking too gloomy, you can glue colored pebbles in the middle or simply paint the sheet any color.
Despite the fact that concrete is considered a rough material, it makes quite interesting artistic crafts.
