Fertilizing plants in August to maintain their growth is carried out mainly foliar. At the beginning of the month, as soon as you harvest the currants and gooseberries, immediately feed and process the berry bushes. When harvesting, remove spider nests, dried berries, twisted leaves and burn them.
Berries, when working in the garden in August, begin to lay the next year's crop, they begin to grow the root system, so they need mineral top dressing with superphosphate and potassium. For red currants and gooseberries, it is enough to take 1 tbsp. l. double superphosphate and 2 tbsp. l. potassium per bush, and for blackcurrant - 2 tbsp. l. double superphosphate and 1 tbsp. l. potassium. Fertilizers for plants in August should be applied during irrigation in dry weather and dry in the top layer of soil in rainy weather. It is undesirable to use potassium chloride, especially for gooseberries, since it will immediately shed its leaves, and the plant needs leaves for the successful development of roots. Gooseberries can shed their leaves prematurely and during prolonged drought if you do not water them in time.
If the summer turned out to be rainy and powdery mildew killed the entire crop on the gooseberries (gray felt coating on leaves and berries), treat with Vectra or Topaz preparations at the beginning and then at the end of August, if by that time there are still leaves on the gooseberries. Weeds must be weeded out and the soil under the bushes should also be treated with one of these preparations.
Important! Next spring, be sure to treat the gooseberries three times: on young leaves, then after 2 weeks on young ovaries and after harvesting to eradicate the fungus pathogen for 4-5 years.
If powdery mildew damaged only part of the bush, and the rest of the berries are clean, then a couple of times before harvesting, treat the entire bush with Fitosporin and only after that with Vectra or Topaz.
In the gardener's calendar for August 2017, the processing of apple trees affected by scab is necessarily planned (first black spots on the leaves, then black spots on the fruits). To protect plants in August, Vectra or Skor is used.
In early August, weakened plants can be attacked by shoot aphids. Spray the ends of the branches with Healthy Garden (6 grains per 1 liter of water).
In cherries, plums, sea buckthorn and lilacs, when working in the garden and in the garden, all root shoots are removed in August. If you want to take root offspring from them, then this should be done in the first half of August, and you should not take them close to the trunk - preferably 1.5-2 m from it, otherwise you will severely damage the roots of the mother plant.
Special attention in the calendar of the gardener and gardener for August, it is given to berry bushes. At this time, do not give them nitrogen supplements, especially weed infusions or manure, since nitrogen causes the ends of the branches to grow. This new growth will not have time to lignify by the cold and will dry out in winter. On the contrary, you should stop the growth of branches, for which pinch (cut off) the tops of the branches of blackcurrants and gooseberries. But not in red currants, since it is at the ends of the branches that the largest number of fruit buds are laid in it.
In blackcurrant, according to the recommendations of the gardener's calendar for August 2017, it is possible to shorten the ends of the branches. If the branches are weak and there are few fruit buds on them (the brushes are rarely located), then they shorten even a third of their length. (But pruning is recommended in late autumn, as this always causes the awakening of the lower buds. Lateral branches will begin to develop from them, which will not have time to lignify before winter and frost will dry them up.)
When planning things according to the gardener's calendar for August 2017, do not forget to cut the weeds under the bushes with a flat cutter or weeder, deepening it into the soil by about 2 cm, and leave them directly under the bushes.
Important! It is necessary to choose a day so that there is no rain for at least 3 hours after spraying.
Garden work in August and plant protection products
Now the main enemy of tomatoes is late blight and fruit rot. At this time, it is no longer possible to use chemicals, so use an iodine solution for treatment (10 mm per 10 liters of water). Repeat spraying after 3 days. You can also treat plants with Fitosporin every 10 days. Spray the fruits with a solution of calcium chloride (200 ml of a 10% solution diluted in 2 liters of water and spray once only the fruits with the stalk).
When drawing up a work plan for the gardener's calendar for August 2017, pay attention to peppers to protect them from stem rot, just like cucumbers. Remove gray or white mold with a dry cloth or soaked in a strong solution of potassium permanganate, then pollinate this place with ash. You can cover the affected areas with slurry of chalk, potassium permanganate and water.
Cucumbers should be protected from bacteriosis and anthracnose with Fitosporin. It is impossible to use chemical agents, including copper preparations, at this time.
Rake the soil from the bulbs so that they stand on the soil on the roots. Pour in the common salt solution (1 cup of salt per bucket of water) and leave the bulbs uncovered. The same should be done with cabbage: first rake off the soil and pour the salt solution on top of the head, and then, unlike onions, spud again. Do not forget to regularly, about once every 10 days, water the cabbage against the keel with a solution of calcium nitrate (3 tablespoons per 10 liters of water, pour 0.5 liters under each bush) or lime milk (1 glass of lime, dolomite or chalk per 10 liters of water, pour 0.5 liters under a bush).
Against pests on vegetables during this period, you can only use the biological products Agravertin and Fitoferm or the new biological product Iskra-bio (do not confuse it with chemical agent Spark).
If you have not yet planted garlic before winter, at the end of August, on the 25th-26th, do it. Make holes in the soil with a depth of 12-15 cm, pour 1 tbsp. l. sand, lower the AVA fertilizer granule and garlic clove, pour 1 tbsp. l. sand and loosen with soil. With such a deep planting, garlic will not sprout in the fall, but it will develop a powerful root system, with which it will leave before winter. The fertilizer will last all summer and no additional feeding is required, and the sand will create microdrainage around the garlic and it will not rot.
Important! The drug "Maxim" is specially designed against the rot of bulbous crops. We recommend soaking all bulbs in it before planting.
Particular attention in the gardener's calendar for August 2017 is given to work on a strawberry plantation. The beginning of August is the deadline for processing plantings of strawberries. It is necessary that the bushes have a large green mass by the end of the month, since we very often have early and rather strong frosts at the very end of August or early September, and strawberries have the weakest point in the rhizome. Therefore, it is necessary that strawberries cover it with their leaves.
But if you did not have time to process the bushes before mid-August, leave them to winter as they are. For strawberries, this is better than bare rhizomes not covered with leaves. Usually they stick out of the ground, so the bushes should be piled up with soil or a new one should be poured under them, but in such a way as not to fill the heart. If you applied AVA fertilizer when planting, then you do not need to feed strawberries for 3 years. If you didn’t do this, then plant 0.5 tbsp in the soil under each bush. l. azofoski.
Sometimes the question is asked: should strawberry leaves be mowed? No, because it will begin to grow leaves to the detriment of the laying of fruit buds and the yield is reduced. You can mow no later than the 20th of July and only in two cases: if you grow strawberries on large plantations or you have old plantings - 3 or more years old. When mowing, do not touch the heart, otherwise you will make your strawberries disabled.
In flower beds, lily hoverfly - red bugs can cause great damage to lilies. In the fight against them, the remedy against the Colorado potato beetle - Sonnet will perfectly help. When you work in the garden in August to process potatoes, process lilies at the same time. In addition, the appearance of rust - botrytis is possible on oriental hybrids. It, fortunately, does not go to the bulbs, but damages the leaves, buds and flowers. Therefore, planting lilies should be regularly sprayed every 2 weeks with Bordeaux liquid or any other copper solution.
August will come - it will lead its own rules.
The main task of the gardener in August is to stop the growth of the current year's shoots in length. The formation of the apical bud and the ripening of the shoots will better prepare the plant for winter. To stop the growth processes of the shoots, the following measures are taken: remove the mulch from the near-trunk circle, apply simple potash and phosphorus fertilizers to the zone of the active root system, pinch the tops of young growing shoots and reduce watering. Do not apply nitrogen fertilizers, as this can cause a second wave of shoot growth.
Upon completion of the collection of raspberries, fruiting and damaged branches are cut out. Young shoots that have grown over the summer should be shortened, cut off the growth tops - this will make it possible for their wood to mature and prepare for the upcoming cold weather.
Vegetables in August also need our care - loosening and top dressing. Potato tops should be mowed 2 weeks before you plan to start "digging potatoes" - the tubers will ripen better.
August is the time for abundant fruiting of tomatoes and peppers. The tops of the tomatoes at this time must be removed, leaving a couple of sheets above the top brush. This will speed up the ripening of the set fruits.
When caring for flowers in August, rejuvenating division and transplantation of perennials come first. Getting ready to plant bulbous flowers. For them, beds and rabatki are made in advance. On the clay soils make sand and compost for digging. If necessary, the soil is lime.
Folk signs about the weather in August:

It is well known that the hottest time for sowing and planting all kinds of plants is spring. But experienced gardeners and gardeners will say that throughout the summer you can plant vegetables and fruits, and in every possible way ennoble your garden and household plot. In order for your labors to be rewarded with a good harvest and strong plants, a lunar planting calendar for the summer of 2017 was compiled to help. Astrologers, closely following the movement of the planets and the position of the moon, compiled a complete and detailed schedule, indicating when and what work is best done.
How useful is the lunar landing calendar for the summer of 2017?
The influence of the only natural satellite of the Earth has become known for a long time. And the simplest observations of the ebb and flow in large and small bodies of water confirm that the liquids on our planet are subject to the movement of the Moon and its phases .. As for plants, they are subject to the same rule that regulates the tides, because plants also have liquids. Thanks to observations and constant research, it was found out that various garden work can be done in different phases of the moon, and the basic rules for planting were also developed. Based on this knowledge, astrologers draw up a calendar every year. It is known that:
- With a young moon, it is not recommended to engage in any planting work, as the plant will develop for a long time and either die or produce a crop too late. But it's good to do during this period preparatory work: cultivate the land, remove weeds, fertilize, water, do prevention from pests.
- In the first quarter, I plant those plants whose fruits are above the ground and, first of all, the growth of the stem is important. Juices along the stem rush upward from the root at a higher speed and therefore the delivery of nutrients from the soil is faster, the plant develops better and gives a good harvest. At this time, it is good to water and fertilize plants, take care of trees and shrubs. But do not cut branches or cut off excess shoots - juice will ooze from the "wounds" and the plant will hurt for a long time and may die.
- At full moon it is recommended to postpone any planting work and start beautifying the site: weeding, hilling, weeding and pest control will be a great success. But any damage done to the plant, which can lead to its death, will be neat.
- In the last quarter, it is recommended to plant potatoes and root crops, thin out the rows of sown carrots and beets, since at this time the juice rushes down to strengthen the root system. Therefore, any plants where the root is important will grow better, faster and their harvest will be rich if planted during this period.
By observing the moon, scientists also found that the zodiac sign in which the satellite is located also affects the yield. Conventionally, the zodiac pantheon can be divided into three groups of signs: fertile, medium fertility and infertile. It would be logical to believe that the element of the sign has a great influence on the fertility of the sign. So, for example, the most prolific signs traditionally include the signs of Water:
- Cancer is considered the most fruitful and fertile sign of all. It is believed that during this period you can safely plant any plants and as a result you will get a rich harvest of juicy, poured and tasty vegetables and fruits. Plants will not be susceptible to disease and will easily withstand bad weather and pest invasion. But you should take care of good watering. But harvesting during this period, on the contrary, is not recommended, since its shelf life will be short.
- Pisces is another sign that contributes to the rapid growth of plants, their strengthening in the ground and further large yields. But you should take care in advance that the plants receive nourishment in the form of fertilizers on time, and also weed the beds well. Harvesting is also best postponed until more favorable times.
- Scorpio, although it belongs to the signs of Water, is not very suitable for planting work. But you can transplant bushes or trees during this period - they will bear fruit for a long time. Prepare the soil, pay a little more attention to the plants and in the end you will have a good harvest. By the way, you can pick vegetables and fruits on this day, but only for preservation, they will not be stored in a cellar or barn for long.
Signs of various elements are classified as medium prolific signs, and various plants and crops can be planted during these periods, taking into account all the reservations and recommendations of the calendar. By the way, you will find complete information for the year in.
- The days of Taurus are suitable for planting root crops. But you should protect your crops from pests and pernicious influence weather. Try to fertilize the soil as much as possible beforehand and make sure that the seedlings are not attacked by insects.
- The days of Libra refer to the period when you can plant any plants, but astrologers recommend sowing on this day, or thinning out the rows of already planted plants (if necessary).
- Although Sagittarius is classified as a sign of medium fertility, experienced gardeners it is recommended at this time to do weeding and hilling plants, and if you need to plant something, then try to focus on the lunar phase.
- In the days of Capricorn, plant root crops and deal with grains, harvest, fertilize the land, treat bushes and trees from pests, but do not water. Only if it's absolutely necessary.
The remaining signs - Leo, Virgo, Aries, Gemini, Aquarius - are not recommended for planting anything. But astrologers say that during this period you can successfully ennoble your site: cut trees and shrubs, weed and water the beds, hill plants, harvest and fight pests. Anything other than planting to get more yield will benefit your garden.
