Planting days for August 2016

Choosing a sapling

When buying a fruit tree seedling with an open root system, first of all, you should pay attention to the condition of the bark - it should be smooth, shiny. Shriveled bark indicates that the sapling is overdried and most likely will not survive.

The roots of the seedlings should be in the clay mash. If you buy a seedling in a container, make sure that the drainage holes in the container have visible fibrous roots - this means that the tree is not planted in the container the day before.

In addition, the seedling must be formed in accordance with its age, not have broken branches, mechanical damage to the trunk, signs of damage by pests and diseases. The seedling must also be sure to have a label indicating the variety.

Pour over the coaches

In late August, remove the tops of the Brussels sprouts. Kochanchiki poured faster, and the plants will not waste their strength in vain.

Cherry plum does not immediately ripen

Therefore, it is necessary to collect it in two or three steps, removing the fruits in the phase of technical ripeness. At a temperature of about 3 degrees, they are stored for up to three weeks.

Sowing peas

In August, when the day becomes shorter, and the nights are cool, they are created optimal conditions  for the growth and development of peas. By the way, the effect of heat on peas can be significantly mitigated by mulching and watering under its protective layer.

Peas are a real magic wand for those who have poor light soils in the plot. Thanks to the friendship of peas with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, the earth will be enriched, which will enable next year  on the site to grow excellent carrots, lettuce and kale.

We store potatoes

Potatoes will lie without problems until spring, if, laying it in the bins, sprinkle the layers with dry leaves of mountain ash or wormwood, cloves of garlic. Tubers will not germinate ahead of time if there are dried mint leaves between them.

Do not forget to

Before the end of the first autumn month, you have time to do a lot. Including stock up the roots of horseradish (as in the winter without its sharpness?), As well as sorrel, parsley, dandelion (for forcing greens). At the same time, zealous hostesses prepare parsley, cumin, shepherd's purse, nettle leaves, and last calendula blossoms for the future.

Vodichka need

With a lack of moisture, beet roots turn out to be fibrous and small, and with a sharp resumption of irrigation, they can crack. Therefore, in dry weather, plants should be watered moderately. Soil mulching will retain moisture in it.

On the free beds

It is advisable to sow the liberated plots of dacha land with green manure crops. Most often for this purpose they use winter rye, mustard.

You can sow vacant beds with lettuce plants. This will allow getting to the table vitamin greens until frost.

Nitrogen is not needed

Nitrogen fertilizers should not be applied under fruit trees, bushes and perennials in the second half of summer. Nitrogen will provoke the growth of new shoots that will not ripen, and the plants will not have time to prepare for winter.

Easy exit

Cauliflower is very sensitive to boron deficiency. If she feels it, the young leaves are deformed, the heads become shallow, become bitter, brown spots appear on them. To correct the situation, you can spend foliar feeding plants with a solution of boric acid (5 g per bucket of water).

There is a lot of trouble, I want to be in time, and in order for things to go uphill, be sure to check the recommendations given by the lunar calendar for August 2016 of the gardener and gardener, florist.

The moon decreases and takes place in the constellation of Cancer. In spite of the fact that it is a fertile sign, today negative factors will be outweighed: the phase of the moon, the day of the week do not have to do land work or to harvest.

If you have collected it, then, without hesitation, put vegetables and fruits on the table and eat them for health. They are not suitable for long storage. Root vegetables today are not engaged.

In the sky the New Moon rises and it turns out in the sign of Leo. Today, the destruction of weeds will be successful, and it is better not to touch other cultivated plants. Today they are extremely sensitive to any manipulation.

Have a seed harvest. It's time to replenish stocks of quality seed.

The moon begins to grow, but is in barren Leo. It gives strength and energy to representatives of the flora, which is noticeable in accelerating growth and maturation. It is necessary to ensure that the soil does not dry out, and there is enough mineral fertilizer.

Keep collecting seeds, and fans traditional medicine  engaged in the preparation of medicinal herbs and roots. You can recycle the crop, successfully preserved vegetables, berries and fruits.

The growing moon moves to the infertile sign of Virgo, which is favorable to flowers. It's time to sow greens (dill, parsley, salad). She will have time to grow up and give a fresh harvest.

Flower growers need to think about planting next year. You can plant crocuses and daylilies, transplanted perennials, and on the 5th, be sure to harvest.

Gardeners should not be very zealous, you can not cut or remove the branches.

The moon continues to grow in the constellation of Libra. It is an average sign of fertility, but, like Virgo, it favors flowers. It is time to divide and transplant perennials - peonies, delphinium, primula, phlox. Depending on the region, August optimal time  for planting lilies, in the southern areas they are planted later in September.

Gardeners take care of vegetables, clean the beds. Now the fruits are filled with juice, time to harvest.

This is one of the most best days. Today, the positive is in full swing, and luck goes to gardening hands. The moon grows in fertile Scorpio. The work will be furious and will appreciate the excellent result.

True, there is an exception to the rule: since the plants on the growing moon absorb water well, it is better to choose another time for the tuber and bulbous representatives. Now they are saturated with moisture, which will adversely affect the storage of tubers and planting them in the ground.

On the 9th lunar day, the moon changes the growing phase by ¼, but is still in Scorpio. Great time to harvest, which will be stored for a long time. Juicy fruits and ask in the hands.

Do not forget to harvest and preserve it.

The moon grows and passes into Capricornus. Every day for gardening works  time is becoming more favorable.

If on the 14th you do not need to start new businesses and be active in the garden, it is better to continue harvesting on that day, then on the 15th and 16th, be sure to work in full force. Welcome to the beginning of new cases. It is possible to transplant plants, plant perennial flowers. It is not too late to feed growing crops with fertilizers so that they make the necessary supply of nutrients before wintering.

The day before the full moon, the moon grows already in Aquarius. This is a bad sign, so today you will achieve great success in combating weeds and cultivating the land.

Full Moon continues to occupy space in Aquarius. Today, the earth fades, the livelihoods of crops stop. Active work in the garden stop. Forces are directed to the destruction of weeds and harmful insects.

If you plan to do conservation, then refuse, this is a bad time.

The moon enters a descending phase and is located in Pisces. It's time to start planting bulbs and tubers of flowering crops or digging them for storage.

Root top dressing with organic fertilizers of plants is allowed. Tired of working in the garden, then engage in conservation and harvesting for the future.

The moon decreases and moves in the sign of Aries. An infertile sign is not suitable for transplanting and planting plants.

Continue to pruning, remove broken branches. Spray the plants against pests, and reduce watering.

The rest of the harvest, weed, pruned shoots, dig up bulbs for winter storage. Exceptions are work with the roots, in any case do not touch them.

The moon is waning in the sign of Leo. Active work in the garden and the garden is not carried out.

Time to look at your "green pets" and listen to your intuition. Now she is the best prompter. If you notice that the plant grows poorly or the place does not suit it, in the near future correct your mistakes, feed it or transplant it.

The 31st is one of the hardest days in the lunar calendar for plants. Take a break from garden and garden troubles, read literature and just enjoy the beauty of the garden.

Throughout August, the stem and root shoots are regularly removed in the garden as they appear. Check the reliability of the installation of supports under the branches of abundantly fruiting trees. Periodically inspect trap belts, destroying the pests caught in them. In addition, you need to systematically collect the drop. Depending on the quality of the fruits, they are used for processing (drying or cooking compotes, jams, spins).


The timing of the first harvest is the most early varieties  pears and apples. The fruits collected on August 1, 3–6, 9, 11–14, 16, 20–23, 25, 29–31 will keep their nutritive and commercial qualities for a long time.

It should be already engaged in the preparation of containers and storage space for the main harvest of autumn, as well as late, winter varieties. In addition, you need to start preparing seats for new seedlings.

At the end of August, the movement of the juice liquid in fruit crops stops, their development slows down. To increase the winter hardiness of the garden, trees must be fed with potash-phosphate fertilizers, excluding nitrogen-containing components. After that, reduce irrigation, stop loosening near-stem circles.

If the fruits and leaves on garden plot  infected with scab, which is a common infection in rainy seasons, it is necessary to treat the trees with a solution of urea at a concentration of 50 g / l. It is necessary to spray not only the trees themselves, but also the near-stem circles. The best days for spraying will be 1, 3, 5, 9, 12, 15-16, 21, 24, 27-31 of August.


Of course, throughout August, they continue to regularly perform standard agrotechnical methods. Especially important is the timely removal of weeds, which prevents their insemination. In dry periods, it is necessary to produce a mandatory watering of plants, achieving uniform soil moisture around the whole root system. But it is necessary to take into account the individual preferences of specific crops to the watering rate. For example, abundant watering of apple trees on the eve of harvest can lead to fruit fall.

In August, harvested sea buckthorn. As long as the berries are not gone, it is possible to pick them with a dry margin. Subsequently, they will be creased.

Do not hesitate with the collection of berries of red and black currants. When the berries ripen on the bush, their nutritional value is lost, the quality deteriorates. In addition, the delay in harvesting prevents the planting of new fruit buds.


On raspberry pruned shoots are pruned, trying not to leave even stumps. Parallel to this, they remove diseased and pest-afflicted, as well as old shoots. For improved ripening shoots of the current year, they pinch the tops.

In the first half of August, it is necessary to cut the strawberry-bearing strawberry. It is better to schedule these works on August 1, 3, 5, 12, 14, 22-26 and 27-29.

First, they clean more adult plantations that are already several years old, and then, if necessary, young ones. At least, be sure to remove dried, yellowing leaves. As a result of mowing, leave 2 cm of hemp. This allows for better weeding of row spacing. After that, strawberries are fed with dry fertilizers, introducing into the soil a mixture of superphosphate, ash or potassium magnesia. Plantations older than 4 years uprooted, and dig the plot and lime.

The second half of August is the best time to plant young garden strawberries. This work must be completed no later than mid-September, otherwise the plants will not have enough time for rooting. And the approaching frosts will be disastrous for them. Therefore, it is best to do this August 15, 19, 20, 23, 27-29.


Planting is recommended in the standard way - one-row rows when the interval between them is 60 cm, and between plants - 30 cm, placing the bushes in a checkerboard pattern. In the landing wells lay humus, fall asleep a handful of ash and 1 tsp. superphosphate. Everything is thoroughly mixed with small additions of earth. Then the wells are watered, place the plants, fall asleep, slightly tamping around the root collar, and watered again.

In the vineyards in the first half of August they continue to water, loosen and weed, they spend the next feeding.

During August, the beds continue to loosen and weed, regularly water the flowers, prevent the spread of diseases and pests. Constantly monitor the state of hedges and ornamental shrubs. As necessary, shorten the shoots, cut out root growth. To give the lawn neatness periodically mow the grass.


In mid-August, shrubs and perennials are fed for the last time. This will contribute to improved budding of the buds, ripening of the shoots, and an increase in the frost resistance of the plants. For these purposes, a solution of superphosphate with potassium salt, taken at 30 g per 10 liters of water, is used. This volume of liquid fertilizer is enough to enrich 1 m2. The maximum effective feeding will be 1, 3, 5-9, 12, 14-16, 19, 23, 24 and 31 August.

During August, peonies, phloxes, alstibas, delphiniums, primroses, bells, as well as all other perennial flower crops are divided and transplanted. This is best done on August 5, 7, 9 and 20.
