Hazulnut Production Guide – 1
Climate Requirements: Hazels can only grow sufficiently to yield large amounts of nuts in moist, temperate climates. The perfect example of such climate is Black Sea region of Turkey. While hazels can be grown in hotter climates which are not as moist, the lack of rainfall warrants constant watering.
Soil Requirements: Hazel roots spread a lot and will not go too deep into the soil, going only as far as 80 centimeters deep in sloped areas. The soil requirements aren’t too steep but as always soil that is rich in nutrients and deep will contribute to the production.

Planting Period: Hazels should be planted between October and the start of spring. In regions with warm winters, October-November, in regions with harsh winters or high altitude February-March, when it will be warm, is advised. The advantage of planting in autumn is being able to replace the trees that aren’t satisfactory before spring, therefore not losing time.
Fertilizers: From the moment hazels are planted, fertilizers are very important in hazelnut production to ensure quality yield and health. To get the desired results, soil must be tested to decide which kinds of fertilizers are required. Hazels normally grow in soil with ph values of 5-7. Values less than this have detrimental effect on growth.Lime can be added to combat acidity and best time to do this would be November and December. Periodically tests must be conducted to see if adding more lime is required.
Lime and phosphorus shouldn’t be added to the soil in the same year. The fertilizers with nitrogen should be sprinkled 50-60 centimeters away from the trunk under the leaves and mixed with the 3-5 centimeters of depth in soil. This will help pest control as well as proper distribution of fertilizer.
Growing Melons, Makings, Tips – A Grandfather's Tenets
See Turkey !
In these hot summer days, melons are one of the favorite fruits of the Turkish people, who produce 1.8 million tonnes of melons every year. This places Turkey at the second in the world melon production, right after China, who produces 6.6 million tonnes. All this information is leading to this: We know how to grow quality melons, and now we’ll share our secrets with you.
First thing you have to do is to decide which kind of melon to grow. There are many varieties with different flavors grown around the world and your choice should suit your purposes and climate.
Overall, melons like hot or warm climates. The long growth period requires hot and sunny weather, too much moisture might cause fungal diseases. Clayed or acidic soil isn’t good for melons and it should be able to hold water well. Read the rest of this entry »
Cultivated Mushrooms — Tools of the Trade
We’ve already chosen the location of our brand new white mushroom business, so now let’s find the necessary equipment to make it all come together.
First, we’re going to need some shelves in our mushroom production room. They should be made of iron rather than wood so that the moisture will not compromise them. If we run the first shelf so that it measures just 20-30 centimeters higher than the floor, it will be easy enough to access — ideally, our 3 story storage shelf should be 80 centimeters lower than the ceiling.

Planting Citrus Trees — Where, When and How?
The best young citrus tree is the one with 4 or 5 years old roots, and it is well grown, healthy and strong. Only the best young citrus trees must be bought as it’s effect on production is great. The best time to plant these is spring, from the end of March to the start of May as the trees planted early will grow and be more resistant to the cold winter. But if cold isn’t an issue, autumn is just as well. While planting your citrus trees, the roots must not be exposed to the sun or the wind for too long because they are very sensitive, they wither and die very quickly. For this reason the trees are uprooted without clearing the soil from the roots and sold in plastic containers with their roots in soil as well. But if the tree is completely removed from the soil, they should be kept in moist chests or straw and if they aren’t going to be planted very soon, it’s best to temporarily cover their roots with soil and water them, without exposing the trees to direct sunlight. While transporting young citrus trees, pluck all the leaves and never leave the young trees in the water to keep them alive.
They are not to be planted too deep !
Young citrus trees should be planted in holes you’ve prepared earlier, and watered as soon as possible. They are not to be planted too deep, it’s best to plant them too close to the surface then planting them too deep. The grafted zone must be entirely out of the earth. A water basin of around 120 centimeters diameter should be dug around the tree and filled with water, and the soil must be monitored to keep it from being too dry. For the first few years trimming too much should be avoided to let the tree grow strong branches and fruits must be plucked before they grow too much so the branches don’t break under the weight.
Growing Citrus Trees — Which Kind Of Soil Is Best?
Citrus family likes loose, fertile, middle depth and acidic soil. Citrus roots are close to the surface, they only grow about 60 to 65 centimeters of depth in earth. It is possible to grow Citrus trees in swallow soil if the fertilizing and watering is done with extreme care.
If the soil contains too much clay for water to flow easily, the need for irrigation and fertilizing is much greater. The top of the soil should be loose and easy to work on ( loam is perfect for this ) while the bottom should have enough clay to hold the water. Places where the groundwater is less than 1 metre below the surface is ideal for Citrus production.
How To Successfully Deadhead Roses Using Reliable Methods and Techniques
Deadheading the shoots and buds: Roses in general, tend to grow one or two thick branches and many thin ones. For quality rose cultivation, deadheading of roses can be used to get rid of the thin branches, leaving the desired thick branches to grow even more. The new roses should be examined regularly and as soon as the new buds are 2.5 to 3 centimeters long, they should be cut from the top to stop their growth. Read the rest of this entry »
