What is necessary for landing
During the winter, you need to accumulate plastic bottles. Plastic should be transparent so that the sun's rays better illuminate the seedlings. The optimal volume of 1.5 liters. The bottom will have to be cut, and the cork must be preserved, it is needed to preserve moisture.
Basic when planting seeds. Julia recommends sowing proven cabbage varieties:
- Belorussian 455;
- Glory;
- Golden Hectare;
- Bear F1;
- Sat 3 F1;
- Guarantee;
- Sugar
- Aggressor F1.
A woman uses a glass bottle to form holes for repelling pests two options for mixtures. Mix No. 1: baking soda, burning red pepper. Mixture No. 2: tabazole (1 part), dolomite flour (1 part).
How to make ridges
Empirically Minyaeva came to the conclusion that vegetables grow better in narrow ridges. The land is cultivated before planting by a cultivator, after which it forms not wide and low ridges.
The paths between them are left so that it is convenient to walk on them. Tillage and preparation of ridges engaged in advance. If the weather is dry, thoroughly water the soil with cold water the day before planting.
Landing time
Exact landing times vary by region. In the Moscow region, where the author of the method lives, cabbage can be planted under bottles at the end of April. The soil is warming well by this time. For winter storage and for harvesting, medium late, late varieties are grown. They can be sown in May.
Each seed bag has an exact recommendation for planting dates. It is worth sticking with them to grow strong heads of cabbage and not to lose part of the crop due to cracking of the heads.
Landing technology
In moist soil, bottoms are formed using bottoms. In order for the growing heads of cabbage not to be crowded, the distance is maintained at 40 cm. A mixture of insects is poured onto the bottom of each hole. If you use a mixture of No. 1, then sprinkle a little and only around the perimeter. The consumption of the mixture No. 2 - 1 tbsp. spoon per well.
Both options repel insects and deoxidize the soil. Cabbage does not like sour soil. Seeds are laid out in prepared wells, in one of 2-3 pieces. This is for guaranteed shoots.
The seeds are sprinkled with a handful of humus or coconut. Planting cabbage ends with the installation of plastic bottles over each well. Watering the ridge is not necessary, the earth is wet. Corks need to be twisted, all bottles around a circle to sprinkle a little with the earth that they were not blown away by a wind.

To keep the place on the ridge empty, sow seals between the holes:
- dill;
- marigold;
- coriander;
- early carrots;
- beets;
- leaf lettuce.
