Gardening Services: A Hands-On Approach to Relaxation in Biysk
Youngsters in Bay are increasingly purchasing rural plots, aiming to transform them into bat-friendly habitats.
Gardening season has officially kicked off in Biysk, with folks flocking to their plots for some R&R. Yet, what constitutes unwinding varies among individuals. Some revamp their space with luxurious additions like pools and picnic spots, while others prefer cultivating beds filled with seedlings.
Tatyana Koretskaya, chairperson of the "Medik" garden association, sheds light on Biysk gardening trends.
- Our gardening enthusiasts encompass a diverse age range. Numerous young adults are buying plots primarily for relaxation - an oasis for their tots to play and roam. When signing up for a plot, these young buyers frequently request a sightseeing of plots adorned with a bathhouse, Tatyana shared.
The elder population also exhibits distinct preferences for their plots. Some opt for decorative flowers over vegetables, while others aim for a robust harvest, planting various produce for fall glory.
- By mid-May, most gardens are 80% covered with seeds. Already in the ground are potatoes, while some brave adventurers have placed tomatoes and peppers in open soil. Biysk residents have primed their greenhouses much earlier, Tatyana shared.
Tatyana firmly believes that cultivating gardens is more than just harvesting produce; it’s a means to unwind, recharge, and rejuvenate, even when physical work is involved. However, not everyone possesses the stamina to handle garden chores due to age or other restrictions. In such cases, assistance from outside help becomes crucial.
- Most gardeners opt for self-reliance, but senior citizens, such as grandmas, who can no longer manage tasks like mowing grass or moving heavy objects, frequently enlist support from external workers, Tatyana explained.
It's essential to acknowledge that the workload on well-maintained gardens can escalate due to abandoned plots. Although the number of these derelict gardens is comparatively low, they can pose hazards.
- Forsaken plots often host excessive deadwood, which isn't properly removed. The territory also quickly becomes overgrown with maple trees that encroach upon neighboring gardens, adding more work for others, Tatyana concluded.
Securing garden assistance in Biysk isn’t hard during the gardening season. Numerous services have cropped up, catering to diverse needs: plowing, grass trimming, tree felling, and crop planting, to name a few.
For instance, using a cultivator on a hectare of land starts at 650 rubles, assuming the soil is in good condition—free of weeds, roots, and debris. Plowing a standard 5-7 hectare plot will set Biysk residents back between 3250 to 4550 rubles. If the soil hasn't been tended for a while, the cost can escalate up to 900 rubles per hectare. There are some workers who offer manual plowing but may be less affordable for many at a price of 2200 rubles per hectare.
Regular lawn upkeep is vital to prevent the grass from taking over. However, not all gardeners possess the necessary gear. Fortunately, hired workers are more than willing to maintain your plot from 1000 rubles per hectare.
Many Biysk gardeners are serious about potatoes, with various services available for their planting. The cost kicks off at 2000 rubles. They also provide help with planting other crops like cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, carrots, and various greens. For an additional fee, they can undertake weeding and even eradicate Colorado beetles.
"Milk" Banks: A Roadblock for Other Gardeners in "Berezka" SNT
(Extra enrichment details to offer context, mostly irrelevant to the main article)
Garden associations in Biysk function as communities, fostering a sense of togetherness and shared learning among members. Sometimes, they might encounter unique situations that impact the collective experience. One such incident involves a "milk" bank causing a roadblock for other gardeners in the "Berezka" SNT.
Children from the "Berezka" SNT had established a mini-milk bank, using abandoned plots to breed Indian runner ducks. The initiative was designed to teach the children essential life skills and promote environmental awareness. However, as the ducks multiplied, the abandoned plots grew overcrowded, causing a blockage for other gardeners looking to access their own patches.
To resolve the issue, gardeners from the "Berezka" SNT negotiated with the children and their parents, reaching an agreement that allowed the children to continue their project while ensuring the plots remained accessible to other gardeners. This dialogue illustrated the support and cooperation that often flourishes within garden communities, helping them navigate challenges and maintain the harmony essential for a thriving garden ecosystem.
Tatyana Koretskaya, the chairperson of the "Medik" garden association, mentioned that some senior citizens, such as grandmas, may need external help to maintain their gardens due to physical limitations, like mowing grass or moving heavy objects.
Home-and-garden services are plentiful in Biysk during the gardening season, offering assistance with various tasks such as plowing, grass trimming, tree felling, and crop planting. For instance, hiring a cultivator to work on a hectare of land can start at 650 rubles, while regular lawn upkeep can be maintained from 1000 rubles per hectare. Furthermore, many services cater to specific crop needs, like potato planting, which can cost as low as 2000 rubles.
