Country newspaper to read. Periodicals for gardeners and gardeners

Meet Dachnaya!

The newspaper "Dachnaya" is one of the oldest newspapers in Russia on horticultural topics. It has been published since 1991; in January 2016, the newspaper staff celebrated its 25th anniversary. Once it came out, like many others, in black and white, on 16 pages. Now the newspaper is full-color, on 36 pages.

The newspaper covers all issues of horticultural activities. Most of the pages are devoted to publications on the cultivation of horticultural and horticultural crops - these are the headings "Gardener School" and "Gardener School". As well as materials sent by readers, and which the editors place in the headings: “What I know - I don’t hide”, “In everyday life - grains of experience”, “Teach me - I will say thank you”.

We always publish extensive materials on growing garden and indoor flowers, ornamental trees and shrubs.

About medicinal plants(both wild and cultivated) is a hereditary herbalist. In these sections (“For Medicine in the Garden”, “Generous Gifts of Berendey”) you will find such recipes that you have never read about in any herbal guide.

The current craze for summer residents and gardeners in the design of plots and various crafts on them is not forgotten either.

And you can also learn about new products on the garden market, replenish your collections with recipes for preparations for future use and culinary ones. To do this, we have two headings: "Summer-Storage" and "Kitchen" Country ".

The site of the publishing house "Northern Week", which publishes the newspaper "Dachnaya": www. vdvsn. en

The publishing house publishes 15 newspapers: Dachnaya, Grass of grass, Zavalinka, Winter Cherry, Woman's Troubles, Woman's Joy, Woman's Kingdom, Little Princess, Pensioner, Pensionerskaya Pravda , "Oh, my mother-in-law!" and others. The newspapers themselves are located at http://www.vdvsn.ru/gazety/

In fact, articles from my site also appear in the Dachnaya newspaper. And of course I can't ignore my benefactors. My cooperation with the newspaper is not the first year, there are a lot of interesting things there.
For those who do not have (or who are not friends with) the Internet, the newspaper can become a serious assistant in gardening. And besides the Dachnaya newspaper itself, the publishing house offers a lot of useful things.

And now the real letter that came to the editorial office of the Dachnaya newspaper. The editors asked me to post it. Spread.

Long life to you, Dachnaya!

Dear readers! You are holding the best of Russian newspapers in your class. I know what I'm talking about, because I myself had to hold in my hands more than three dozen newspapers of the gardening and dacha direction. And rare of them had their own, recognizable face. The real truth is that most of these newspapers could only be identified by the title on the front page - tear it off and no Sherlock Holmes could tell what kind of paper it was in your hands.

Newspaper with its own face

Of course, the success of a newspaper is determined by the personalities of its creators. If you turn to the cover, it is not difficult to establish that the ship called "Dachnaya" left the stocks in 1991. And thus he has been at sea for exactly a quarter of a century. And there were two shipbuilders who built this "vessel" - German Barbolin and Vyacheslav Belousov. The first thing I want to note is that it is not so important what your ship is called. But it is important who his captain is, the first mate, the pilot and the boatswain. How experienced they are, whether they know the location well, whether they will save when it starts to storm.

If we continue the “ship” theme, it is quite obvious that they built their ship strong and stable (not losing balance when sailing), and they led it like Pomeranian captains - boldly, but prudently. But this journey was fraught with many dangers. It was necessary not only to please the reader, but also to solve the darkness of prosaic issues related to its distribution.

Publishing a newspaper for gardeners in a city located on the 65th latitude looked very bold from the very beginning. And, of course, the newspaper experienced all those deformations with which the Russian reality was overloaded. Of course, there was a lot of drama in this voyage, how could it be otherwise, try it yourself - you will find out what it is like to start such a business from scratch!

For a quarter of a century, the newspaper has changed a lot and at the same time has remained the same - this is how a person changes with age, remaining the same as he was in his own way. inner essence. How is this possible? Quite simply, the changes that the newspaper underwent were gradual, and did not touch the basics - its style and design. But there have been positive changes as well. First, the composition of the authors has grown stronger every year. How did the regional newspaper manage to attract the best authors? It seems that the “fault” is the good attitude with which the newspaper staff met them.

As a result, the newspaper turned out to be both serious and simple, kind and competent. On the one hand, the articles in Dachnaya can be trusted almost like scientific dissertations, and on the other hand, they are written in an accessible language and are not stuffed with abstruse terminology. And all this together constitutes the inalienable handwriting of Dachnaya, its image, its corporate identity.

Personally, I would recognize the newspaper even by its small scrap. And if our supervisory bodies were fair, they would mark the newspaper with their awards from year to year. However, isn't it for us - its readers and authors - the very fact of its 25th anniversary.

So let's congratulate those who founded Dachnaya and worked in its team all these years! And we wish that the newspaper, having overcome all the difficulties, flourished more than ever!

Let's support our favorite newspaper during this difficult time! Buy a newspaper at newsstands and subscribe to it! This is a newspaper that can be trusted, a newspaper with its own face and traditions, which can clearly be called old. And this is now a rarity.

"Country" is worth it! She is the best!

Heading "Legal field" Soon summer residents will slowly reach the market to sell their crops. They will go with caution, if the police will drive them away. Indeed, it is still unclear whether entrepreneurial activity sale of surplus crops obtained on their own for their own needs on their site.

Absolutely all plants react positively to manure. But it should be applied correctly: 1) when applying manure in the spring, you can sow or plant all varieties of cabbage, cucumbers, lettuce, leaf celery; 2) onions, beets, peas, greens, and strawberries work better in the second or third year after manure is applied, that is, fertilizer must be applied under the previous crop; 3) pome and stone fruits, as well as berry bushes and many ornamental crops respond very well to systematic soil manure; 4) fresh manure applied under a tomato causes increased vegetative growth of the plant to the detriment of fruiting. Therefore, it is undesirable to apply manure for this crop or apply it no later than a year before planting. Under tomatoes mainly contribute mineral fertilizers in pure form or in combination with organic - humus or compost; 5) carrots especially suffer from fresh manure. When fresh manure is applied, an increased nitrogen content is formed in the soil, which damages the tip of the carrot root, resulting in a branched root crop. Therefore, it is better to apply manure a year before sowing seeds. #protectiongarden #agrotechnology #favorite garden #fertilizers

And the fly will not fly! We didn’t have a single fly left in the area - neither in my area, nor in the neighbors. The flycatcher that I made using the idea of ​​pre-revolutionary masters helps out. I spent my childhood with my grandmother in the Zaporozhye region. I remember how in the summer in the heat we rested in the room where there was a glass flycatcher of pre-revolutionary factory production. Grandmother said: "There is only one fly in the room, but it won't let you sleep." But the flycatcher helped out. I remembered about it many years later, when a dacha appeared. There was no escape from flies, Velcro helped little. It is impossible to approach the compost heap - darkness flew there. Of course, I didn’t want to treat the compost heap with chemicals. It was then that I brought to life the idea of ​​a pre-revolutionary flycatcher. I took a 5-liter round bottle, cut off the top at the shoulder level. The upper part of the cut-off bottle was lowered with the neck inward into the lower part. Lined up the cuts and sealed with tape. The flycatcher is ready! Rotten meat waste should be placed through the neck at the bottom of the bottle. All the flies from the yard and even from the kitchen flock to this bait. Flies dive inside the jar, feast on "delicacies", and they do not have enough intelligence to fly out of it. You will not believe it, but in the early days I caught half a five-liter jar of flies, filled them with water and buried them in the ground. The jar does not need to be washed, so as not to deprive it of a “wonderful” smell. So I caught the flies not only from my site, but also lured the neighbors. For the past two years, there have been no flies in my yard, obviously, I have destroyed the entire “gene pool”. This flycatcher is not suitable for residential premises - the smell is not the same, but it distracts the flies from the house. The same device can be made for a country house, taking a smaller bottle. And for bait, use the whey obtained during the preparation of cottage cheese.

Prevention against late blight Late blight of tomatoes annually spoils the mood of gardeners, who sometimes do not even have time to taste the taste of their tomatoes. Fruits can be given a chance to ripen if you take care of the prevention of the disease. I prefer the taste of tomatoes grown not in a greenhouse, but in the “fresh air”. Of course, in this case, it is more difficult to save from late blight. But we agreed with our neighbors that we would fight together and at the same time. And while the disease has not yet declared itself, and the nights are getting cooler, we prepare garlic solutions and begin to spray our tomatoes. We use a recipe that has been proven over the years. To prepare it, you need to take 1.5 cups of crushed garlic, 1.5 g of potassium permanganate and 2 tbsp. spoons of grated laundry soap, dissolve all this in a 10-liter bucket of water. We spray the bushes, per 1 sq. m. leaves somewhere around 10-15 liters. During the summer, we process five times every two weeks. To prevent late blight, someone uses sour kefir, which is diluted in water at a ratio of 1 liter of kefir to 10 liters of water. Late blight microbes at the stage of appearance destroy iodine. Only 1-2 drops need to be dropped into the milk solution, which is made from half a glass of milk and 1 liter of water. Spray the fruits with iodine solution. In addition, we try to cover our tomatoes at night - we follow the weather forecast. Tatyana Purgina, Yasnogorsk, Tula region #favorite garden #late blight #tomatoes #tomatoes #plant protection

Pepper is the envy of all In order to get a good crop of pepper, we selected varieties that will take root on our peat soil in the Moscow region and most of all we will like to taste. The selection of favorite varieties took more than one year, but now we always have a good harvest. We often bought peppers in the vegetable section of the store, and if we liked it, we left the seeds. Thus, we chose for ourselves the Kakadu, Ramiro and early pepper varieties, which we call Candles, because it grows with fruits upwards. We learned the names of peppers in the store. We also try to plant a new variety every year. Last year it was Crimean pepper, which bore very well due to the hot summer. Sowing-planting Of course, this culture requires attention. We plant seedlings in early March, referring to lunar calendar. Since pepper does not like transplantation, we immediately determine the germinated seeds in jars of 0.5 l sour cream. We are preparing our land. At the end of April, we transport seedlings to the dacha and at the beginning of May we plant them in a greenhouse. It is advisable to plant before flowering, otherwise the first fruits will be small. With the threat of May night frosts, cover with acrylic. Pepper is usually determined by the place where cucumbers used to grow, so there is enough manure in the garden. We lower the seedlings into a bucket of warm water, carefully release the plant from the container and put it in the hole, where we put a pinch of fertilizer for peppers and tomatoes, 5-6 granules of superphosphate, a handful of ash, 5-6 granules of long-acting fertilizer. We spill everything with warm water, throw it with compost soil and tamp it down properly. Then again we spill with warm water and throw it with dry earth. Then within 8-10 days the peppers do without water. All leaves that touch the ground are cut off. Fertilizers - strictly according to the scheme During the season, every 10-12 days we fertilize the peppers according to the scheme: 1) dilute the Gumi fertilizer according to the instructions and water the plants; 2) fertilizer for peppers and tomatoes is bred according to the instructions, watered; 3) insist 10 days manure, water. All top dressing is carried out on moist soil. Pre-harvest care In early August, we cut off the tops of the peppers and remove the stepchildren to allow the set fruits to grow and ripen. We water the peppers in the greenhouse as needed and only with warm water. And the greenhouse itself is well ventilated daily and closed in time so that the heat of a summer day is preserved there all night. Irina Kryazhyna, Orekhovo-Zuevo

If the lawn has lost its shape The saddest spring sight on the site is the lawn after the snow has melted. Bald, bald in places, with faded tan marks, barely alive. I can’t even believe that in the fall he went under the snow bright emerald. To return the grass to its former beauty, roll up your sleeves higher! 1. First of all, we take on a rake - we call them leaf opers. Ordinary fan rakes are our first assistant in putting things in order on the lawn. And slowly, we carefully scrape off everything unnecessary from the lawn - old leaves, grass, mold from water and snow, moss. Immediately, before our eyes, fresh grass will begin to sprout. 2. To help the grass grow, the lawn needs to breathe. To do this, we pierce the entire territory with a pitchfork. Special slippers with nails on the soles even appeared on sale, they are tied to boots or sneakers - and forward along the lawn back and forth. 3. After such aeration, the area must be spilled with water. In general, all procedures related to the resuscitation of the lawn are best done on wet ground. 4. Further top dressing. Shops offer a variety of spring lawn fertilizers. Choose those that contain potassium and phosphorus. If you have urea in your stash, then it can also be scattered over the grass in the spring. And again, thoroughly pour everything. 5. In general, water is the main food for grass. I water my lawn almost every day. And in the heat above 25 ° C, I leave the sprinklers for the night. But I have sandy soil, the water drains quickly. Therefore, the frequency of irrigation should be calculated based on the composition of the soil. 6. Every year in the spring the lawn must be sown. The lawn itself tells you exactly where to scatter the seeds - in places where moss grew (it is carefully cut out beforehand and this place is sprinkled with lime and sand), where the dog accidentally sat down, leaving a yellow spot where the grass simply froze over during the winter. Therefore, in the fall I buy sports turf seeds (by the way, it costs less in autumn) and store it in a warm room. 7. As soon as the young grass grows up, the time has come for the first mowing. It's okay that she grew unevenly, the lawn mower will fix it. A well-known rule: the more often you mow the lawn, the thicker the grass and less weeds. In the summer you have to mow at least twice a week. In spring and autumn - once. Olga Belan, Ramenskoye

Country newspapers

The dacha life of St. Petersburg residents of the pre-revolutionary period became such a self-sufficient phenomenon, with its established traditions and customs, that it gave rise to such a specific phenomenon as dacha newspapers. The names of many of them have already appeared more than once in the text, and this is no coincidence: today those newspapers serve as one of the most important sources of information about the dacha life of the inhabitants of St. Petersburg at the beginning of the 20th century.

“When starting to publish the Dachanaya Zhizn newspaper, we made it our main task to serve the interests of the dacha inhabitants in their social and economic life. ... With the aim of creating a newspaper on the pages of which the topics of the day of all summer cottages of the St. Petersburg province would be recorded, we will try to fill the gap currently felt in the ranks of the capital's press. Thus began the first issue of the Dacha Zhizn newspaper in April 1911...

The extraordinary boom of the dacha press was expressed in the publication of numerous dacha newspapers and leaflets. They came out both in St. Petersburg and in the dacha suburbs themselves, and were designed to reflect the dacha interests and needs of St. Petersburg residents. One of the first dacha newspapers appeared in the St. Petersburg suburbs in 1882, it was called "Pargolovsky summer leaf", and it told about the life of Ozerkovo-Shuvalov and Pargolovsky dacha residents. And in 1885, as an appendix to the Moscow illustrated family magazine "Rainbow", the magazine "Country Life" appeared.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the following were published in St. Petersburg: "Northern Dacha Leaflet" (1904), "Dachnaya Gazeta" (1908), "Country Courier" (1908), "Dachnik" (1909), "Country Life" (1911), "Dacha "(1912), in Moscow - "Dachny Herald" (1899) and "Dachnik" (1912). All these publications turned out to be extremely short-lived - none of them lived more than one summer season. Given the rarity of the publications mentioned, I cannot deny myself the pleasure of reproducing something from the pages of these rustic and naive newspapers (see. Application, pp. 577-578).

For example, the newspaper "Dachnaya Zhizn" was published only in 1911, and "Dachnik", with the subtitle "literary and reference newspaper", was published during the summer season of 1909 - every other day. Its first issue appeared on May 1, and the last one was published on August 30. According to the editorial statement, “with its extensive and varied program, it aims to serve during the summer season to the entire dacha population as pleasant and entertaining entertainment, a useful indicator in all cases of cultural, scientific and educational life, a practical reference guide and a bright reflector reflecting on the columns of its newspapers are all manifestations of foreign, out-of-town and country life.

Newspaper "Country Life", 1911, No. 1, April 10-16. From the collections of the Russian National Library

Indeed, the range of topics covered in dacha newspapers was remarkable for its extraordinary breadth. These are dacha arrangement and dacha economy, description of dacha places in Russia and abroad, government and administrative orders concerning dacha points. Much attention was paid to the theme of life and improvement of holiday villages.

A dacha chronicle was necessarily placed: all kinds of information about the life of dacha suburbs, reviews of performances of dacha theaters, stories about dance balls, sports, children's games. There was always a section of incidents in dacha newspapers, which often reported “horrors” that often chilled the soul and tickled the nerves - the death of careless dacha residents under the wheels of trains, fires, thefts, murders, etc.

Newspaper "Dachnik", 1909

In any dacha newspaper, there was certainly a literary department, where stories, poems from dacha life, as well as satire and all kinds of sensational works were printed. So, on the pages of the "Dachnik" there appeared "Athlete-Killer" - "the latest sensational criminal novel", "A Thousand and One Passions, or a Terrible Night in the Lakes" - "an amazing novel in one murderous part without a prologue and epilogue", etc.

The object of satire on the pages of dacha newspapers often became “dacha husbands”, who sent their families to the dacha and were forced to go from the dacha to work in the city every morning, and return back in the evening, loaded with all kinds of bundles and bags. No wonder there was even such a dacha proverb in use: "Whoever did not live in the dacha did not carry bags."

In addition to all this, practical materials were also published in dacha newspapers, for example: “How rational baths should be arranged”, “Country gardens”, guidelines for arranging a “dacha flower garden”, “dacha aquarium”, “dacha poultry farming”, as well as the schedule of dacha trains , posters of country theaters, etc. And what newspaper can do without advertising? The main information concerned, of course, the search and hiring of dachas. However, there were also other advertisements, for example: “A large selection of country wallpapers”, etc.

And one more feature of the dacha press is its emphasized apathy. There were absolutely no echoes of social and revolutionary events, precisely at this time, at the turn of the century, which disturbed and turned the whole society upside down. Even in turbulent times, country life remained a self-sufficient, closed, autonomous phenomenon.

Much in the dacha newspapers of that time may seem very naive to us today. How insignificant are all the problems of summer residents in comparison with the brewing vicissitudes of the life of that time! Only a few years will pass, and in the fire of military and social upheavals, Petersburgers will no longer be at all up to the former country charms ...

This is a large genus, more than 250 species of evergreen shrubs and subshrubs. The leaves of this violet are simple, dense, dark green, arranged oppositely on the stems. The flowers are tubular, two-lipped, surrounded by bristly bracts, in short peaked inflorescences at the ends of the shoots or in the axils of the upper leaves. Barleria flowers, depending on the type and variety, are red, pink, yellow, lilac and white. There are varieties with white flowers with purple stripes on the petals ...

2. Growing dahlias... I plant dahlias in mid-May, but this is if the buds do not germinate very strongly on the cuttings. If the sprouts are already long, then it is worth waiting until the time when the threat of frost has passed. I take out delenki from storage at the beginning of April and keep them in a non-freezing cool room, where the temperature is from +8 to +12 degrees Celsius. As soon as the kidneys peck, division can be carried out ...

3. Slavic vegetable calendar... According to the Slavic vegetable calendar, the symbol of 2016 is the turnip. I don’t know about you, but the Slavic calendar is closer to me than the Eastern one. I've been using it for a long time and it almost never lets me down. So 2015 honey-hop was no exception. No wonder it also has another name - a year or two. Vershkov has grown a lot. The grass rose early, mow - I don’t want to, but there is no one. In the old days, such a year was considered rich - they put a lot of hay for cattle.

4. Long life to you, Dachnaya!... You hold in your hands the best Russian newspaper in its class. I know what I'm talking about, because I myself had to hold in my hands more than three dozen newspapers of the gardening and dacha direction. And rare of them had their own, recognizable face. The real truth is that most of these newspapers could only be identified by the title on the front page - tear it off and no Sherlock Holmes could figure out what kind of paper it was in your hands.

5. Watermelons under the film ... I grow my watermelons under a low film cover. In good, hot weather, I remove the film, giving the plants the opportunity to enjoy the warmth emanating from the sun, but in the evening I stretch the film again and with the timing that the soil under the watermelons warms up properly and accumulates so much heat that it is enough for the night, often very cold, which was especially the case last summer, when night temperatures sometimes dropped to critical levels

6. Anafalis three-veined ... The plant is unpretentious, non-capricious, frost-resistant. I haven't noticed any pests or diseases on it. The main thing is that the site should be without stagnant water, drier, sandy loamy and even stony soils are even better suited to it. Feels good and breeds even on an almost sandy area. Some species of this plant are most often found on stony soils, which are limited in nutrients, but are well blown by all winds.

7. Adenium from seeds ... It was such a handsome man that I decided to have at home. The seeds were sent to me from China by mail. They came very quickly, in the spring of 2012. While they were on the road, I carefully studied the information on how to sow them correctly and how to grow seedlings in the future.

8. Blue-eyed miracle of the northern garden. Honeysuckle among berry crops has been a favorite in our gardens for twenty years now. Indeed, this is the very first berry that we are looking forward to. Honeysuckle ripens earlier than wild strawberries for a week and a half. Its berries have a unique refreshing sweet-sour taste, they are loved by both adults and children. Honeysuckle berries are a storehouse of vitamins. Breeder Leonid Petrovich Kuminov called her a rejuvenating berry. He believed that honeysuckle has a youth gene that prevents the aging of the body.

9. Rowan Köhne. ... The bark of the tree is smooth, a pleasant reddish-brown shade with creamy-beige lenticels. The leaves are pinnate with a total length of up to 25 cm, from 17-33 graceful, narrow, finely toothed leaves no more than 3 cm long. Most of the leaves are crowded at the top of the tree, which gives the plant a peculiar appearance. The flowers are white, about 1 cm in diameter, collected in corymbose inflorescences with a diameter of 5-8 (up to 15) cm. A special color is given to the plant by fruits ripening at the end of summer - pea-sized berries, of an unusual alabaster-white color, edible, sour taste .. .
