Gardeners and gardeners begin their battle for the harvest every year. An abundance of vegetables and fruits means not only compotes and other preparations for the winter, fresh vitamins from the garden, but also an additional source of income. You can read the plot at good harvest.
Rules that will help ensure the harvest
Conspiracies and prayers are effective help. But before pronouncing them, it is advisable not to violate the rules that are mandatory for every farmer.
- The land must be treated with respect and reverence. Previously, she was called the “nurse” and was considered a living being. She will feed and give a good harvest only when she is treated well.
- Purchasing seeds. In our age of the Internet and large supermarkets, there should be no problems with purchasing seeds: they are sold literally at every turn. But healers advise taking seeds from ordinary people on the market. But you need to choose a person who is kind, generous, sympathetic, and has good energy. Then the harvest will be rich. You should refuse the purchase if you come across a quarrelsome and angry man, even if his prices are reasonable. Then you won't get a harvest.
- When you are planting seeds or seedlings, you should not lend anything.
- It is better to sow and plant in the garden alone, and not under the supervision of a neighbor.
- It is better not to eat the first cucumber or tomato or other fruit that ripens in the garden, but to leave it for seeds.
- Pay attention to the moon.
Now many gardeners and gardeners know that it is better to plant based on the phases of the moon.
- When the moon changes its phase, you cannot plant anything (seeds, seedlings), otherwise the plants will be weak and will often get sick.
- The energy of the waning moon is directed towards the center of the earth, so at this time it is better to plant root crops, i.e. those plants that ripen underground: potatoes, radishes, carrots, beets, etc. You can do weeding and get rid of pests.
- The waxing moon helps stems and greenery grow, so at this time it is worth planting shrubs and fruit trees, as well as cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.
- On the new moon it is customary to plant potatoes, peas, carrots, red fruits and other warm colors. Trees can be trimmed.
- Before the full moon, it is good to harvest crops, replant trees and indoor plants.
- During the full moon you can plant round vegetables: cabbage, pumpkin, etc. But you cannot give anything from your garden to anyone.

Millions of people prefer to follow her advice, because she collected these conspiracies from all over Russia. Stepanova’s books are extremely popular not only in our country, but also abroad. These spells of the Siberian healer will be given first.
Conspiracies before planting seeds
You need to prepare the prosvira in advance during church holiday. It is advisable to take the prosvira from the Annunciation, which is celebrated on April 7th. It must be crushed and mixed with seeds, saying:

Before planting the seeds in the soil, you need to hold them in your palms. At this time, the prayer “Our Father” is read. Then you need to sprinkle the seeds in front of you, cover them with your hand and say:
“It has sprouted, grown, outgrown itself.”
When throwing seeds into the ground, you can say:
Spells over the earth for a good harvest
The prayers of the Siberian healer will help make the land productive. This prayer must be read in front of the icon of the Mother of God “Spreader of the Loaves.” Ambrose Optinsky also said that She always helps those who are trying to get their daily bread.

Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".
This is an appeal to Joachim and Anna. It is usually read by those who want to beg God for children. But it also helps to grow a rich harvest in the garden. It is read before sowing.
“O holy righteous woman, Godfathers Joachim and Anno! Pray to the Merciful Lord, that He may turn away His anger from us, righteously moved against us by our deeds, and may, despising our countless sins, turn us, the servant of God (names), to the path of repentance, and may He establish us on the path of His commandments.

“Mother Earth, accept my affection. I give you a red Easter, and for this you give me the richest harvest. Key, lock, tongue. Amen. Amen. Amen".
Spells for good growth of cucumbers
One of the most popular crops is cucumbers, which can be grown not only in a greenhouse, but also open ground. They are very demanding, especially regarding temperature, so they will grow well only in warm conditions (24–27 degrees during the day and 15–17 at night) and at high humidity(about 90%). Conspiracies for good growth cucumbers will help provide this vegetable to your family, relatives, and neighbors.
This is an effective spell from a Siberian healer that needs to be read before planting cucumbers. Before reading it, you need to take some vegetable oil (half a glass) to church and put cucumber seeds in it. You need to withstand this glass for the entire service, after which you don’t take it out for another three days. While sitting down, speak.

“Oh, sit there, watchmen, without a gun or a knife. Collect emeralds, take care of them, protect them. I will have a royal harvest, and you will have freedom. Amen!".
When the cucumbers grow, the boxes need to be taken out and burned.
Tomato seedlings also require careful care: you should not allow thickening in the beds, otherwise the seedlings will stretch out and produce a harvest late. We must not forget about ventilation, because tomatoes love fresh air and cannot tolerate stuffiness and heat. When planting tomatoes (the first bush) in the garden, you need to say.
Spell for tomatoes
“As the forest is thick, so is my bush. St. Peter, St. Elijah, my tomatoes and me. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
You need to get up before sunrise, cross yourself three times, and, looking at the seedlings, say:
“There is no number and counting of the believing people, the ringing of the church bell, the ants in the forest, so there would be no counting of the profits of the tomatoes in my garden beds. Amen".
You can say:
“Like the ancient forest is tall and thick, So let my tomato bush be full. Key, lock, tongue. Amen. Amen. Amen".
Tie each tomato bush with a red woolen thread and recite the spell:
“The vein is scarlet, the blood is red, the berry grows juicy and beautiful. Get nourished from the sun, swell from the moon. Amen!"
Spells for potato growth
Potatoes begin to be planted at the moment when leaves begin to bloom on the birch tree. It is advisable to use tubers for planting from those bushes that gave a good harvest last year.
It is necessary to say:
“Holy mother Moon, you are tall and strong. You are high, you are far away. Your light shines widely. This is how my harvest will be born. Give me strength. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
Before planting potatoes, you need to let the cat out into the garden and say: “Where the cat wanders, the first potato will fall.” Wherever the cat runs, that’s where you should start planting potatoes.
Very often, the entire potato harvest is stolen from the owners. This plot will prevent strangers from approaching the garden bed. You need to get an aspen stake, stick it in the middle of the field, and, turning to the south, north and east, loudly pronounce the words of the conspiracy. At the same time, you need to draw crosses in the air, using your ring and middle fingers. right hand which need to be tied together.
“In the name of Adonai! This land is not mine, but God’s, not a thief’s, but God the Father’s. In the name of Adonai! Let it not be the thief who takes the fruit, but the one who sticks this stake in the ground! Amen. Plague, blood, death, pestilence, thief. Amen. Amen. Amen. Whoever breaks my amulet will not take a sip of water or chew a piece of bread. He will die an untimely death. Amen".
Spells for carrots
Loose soil is suitable for carrots ( loamy soils, peat bogs), and it grows poorly in clayey and wet soil. You can plant it at the end of April, because it tolerates frost well, or you can wait until May or even June.
When planting carrots, say:
“Root to root, and top to top. Let this root be strong. Amen".
“Tops are tops, Roots are bottoms. Multiply, Grow, Gain strength from Mother Earth. Key, lock, tongue. Amen. Amen. Amen".
It is desirable that the carrots in your garden grow large, juicy and sweet. This can be achieved with the help of a conspiracy. You need to prepare a saucer in advance and pour the seeds into it and put a coin. Leave it all overnight. When sowing carrots, you must say:
“I am purchasing a rich harvest from the inhabitants of the underground kingdom! Amen!".
The coin needs to be buried at the edge of the bed.
Spells for cabbage
Cabbage is a cold-resistant plant. It will only grow if it receives enough water. Intense heat is the enemy of cabbage; if it is more than 25 degrees outside, it is difficult for it to grow, and at temperatures above 30 degrees it does not form a head.
These prayers of the Siberian healer must be read when planting cabbage in the garden. This is an appeal to the martyr Irina.
“Thy lamb, Jesus, Irino, calls with a great voice: I love You, my Bridegroom, and seeking You, I suffer, and I am crucified, and I am buried in Your baptism, and I suffer for Your sake, for I reign in You, and I die for You, that I may live.” with You, but as an immaculate sacrifice, accept me, sacrificed to You with love: through your prayers, for You are merciful, save our souls.”
“Virginity was replete with kindness, O maiden, you were the most red of suffering, Irino, stained with Your flowing blood, but you were the beauty that overthrew atheism, for this reason you accepted the honors of victory by the hand of Your Creator.”
These words should not be uttered by a woman whose period began at this time. And so - during landing you need to say:
“Cabbage, don’t be empty, but be thick.”
“Brush yourself with a bush, wrap yourself in a leaf.”
Spells for onions
Onions need to be planted open place which is well blown by winds. You should not plant onions before May 9th. When the onions grow foliage, they need to be watered. But watering should be stopped as soon as the bulb begins to ripen. After harvesting, the bulbs must be dried thoroughly.
So that the meadow does not rot, when planting, say:
“I will go to the meadows where the bow is, and I will take its power to my ridges. My word shall be, but my bow shall not rot.”
You need to pour the seeds into the weed, say the spell and go to the garden bed:
“Go, onion, from my hem to the garden bed, Grow, onion, for my prosperity. Wash yourself with the rain, wipe yourself with the wind, Grow in height and width. Deed, word, silence, engagement plot. Key, lock, tongue. Amen".
When planting onions, say:
“It’s not I who sow and plant, but God helps and blesses my garden bed. Grow, my onion, grow, multiply one by ten. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".
Protecting your garden from the evil eye
Sometimes it is impossible to wait for the harvest in the garden due to the evil eye. Someone praised your harvest or your spreading tomato seedlings, and because of the evil eye, you lost your entire harvest. Sometimes an envious glance from a neighbor was enough to cast an evil eye. To protect the garden from the evil eye, you need magical intervention.
How to protect your garden from the evil eye
Spells of a Siberian healer against the evil eye
These spells of a Siberian healer will protect your garden from the evil eye:
“Lord, help me. Be a fence for my garden, for my land. Amulet-fence, help me. Neither the devil, nor the she-devil, nor the evil witch will cross that fence or spoil my garden. Amen".
On Thursday, against the evil eye, you need to drive a peg at the gate with the words:
“I bow to Christ, the Heavenly King. Lord, save, save my land from every evil word, every evil look. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
This spell, a talisman against the evil eye, is read on the new moon, early in the morning, only in the spring, before you sow something in the garden. If on the same day, a little later, it rains, the ritual will have to be repeated again, the next morning. Otherwise it won't help:
The harvest is for me and not for an evil witch. Amen".
Ritual with church land
This ritual to remove the evil eye should be carried out in the fall, when the entire harvest has been harvested, and early spring, while no work was done in the garden. You need to go to the church fence and take a handful of earth. At home, you need to pour it into a glass and stick a church candle into the ground.
“I will take off the dark cloth, the black damage, from the Holy Land. Lord, bless my land, may fruits be born so that I can feed myself. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
You can grow a wide variety of crops in your garden, but the most popular is potatoes. But in order to achieve a good harvest from it, you need to work hard and correctly perform all the necessary agrotechnical manipulations. This article will tell you how to plant potatoes correctly.
The most important point in growing potatoes is choosing the right one. seed material. The future harvest depends on how correctly the seeds were selected and prepared. After all, even if the planting care was correct, it is difficult to get excellent root crops from bad seeds.
Preparing seeds for planting should begin in the fall, when the harvest occurs. Seed preparation is carried out as follows:
- First, the vegetables need to be sorted. For planting, you need to select smaller root crops, and leave large ones for eating;
- Seeds should be selected from those bushes that produced the maximum amount of potatoes;
- the optimal size of tubers for sowing should be 4-5 cm. This size is equivalent to chicken egg. A few tubers are allowed larger size. They will ripen a little earlier and also produce a slightly larger harvest;
- Very big potatoes can also be used as seed material. It is worth noting here that some varieties in this case will give a lot small root vegetables. This will result in significant cost overruns.
You can find information that potatoes cut into several parts can be used as planting material. This option is possible, but only if there is a shortage of small-diameter seeds.
To get a good harvest from pieces of tubers, they should be dried in the sun before planting. The weather should be warm and dry.
In addition, parts of the potatoes must be sprinkled with ash. Remember that such planting material may deteriorate in a rainy spring. This is because the skinless surface is more susceptible to negative influence pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, fungi). As a result, such seeds will rot in the spring. 
It is worth remembering that when planting sliced potatoes, the weather should be dry and warm. If it's raining there is a risk that the chopped tubers will simply rot in the ground, not yielding any harvest or forming weak shoots.
Planting material can be bought in special stores or retail outlets. IN in this case You should not give preference to super-elite varieties. The point is that they will give excellent harvest only when all agricultural technology is correctly recreated. At the same time, the elite varieties are the most productive.
When buying seeds in a store, be sure to ask the seller for a quality certificate. This document should always be accompanied by varietal potatoes. If there is no quality certificate, then there is a risk of purchasing contaminated planting material. As a result, the harvest will be disgusting. In this case, you will also have to carry out a soil disinfection procedure in order to get rid of diseases and pests. 
Some gardeners claim that sprouted seed eyes can be used as planting material.

Before boarding
Before planting, properly prepared planting material must be “awakened”. This procedure means that the tubers should be greened before planting. To do this, root vegetables are placed in a bright place. For example, they can be placed in the shade of trees or under various canopies. 
This procedure will cause the seeds to begin to produce corned beef poison. Thanks to him potato tubers can be stored much longer.
When gardening root crops, you should avoid direct contact with them. sun rays. In this case, they will be oversaturated with poison and eating them will be dangerous to health.
After this, you can begin the process of sprouting potatoes. It should be carried out about a month (in some sources 20 days) before planting in the ground. Germination of tubers is carried out according to the following scheme:
- first they must be washed in a weak solution of potassium permanganate;
- after this, the planting material should be spread out in one layer (maximum two layers) into containers. For these purposes, you can take wooden boxes;
- containers must be placed in a bright room where the air temperature is 20–22 O C. The boxes must be placed in such a way that they are not exposed to direct sunlight;
- in such a room the boxes should last 2-3 weeks;
- then they are transferred to a cooler room with a temperature of approximately 10-14 O C. A glazed balcony is perfect for these purposes.
Some gardeners say that you need to start sprouting potatoes in the dark. But in this case, weak and long sprouts form on the tubers, which can be easily injured or even broken off during planting. To ensure a good harvest, germination of planting material should be carried out in a bright room. As a result, the sprouts will be strong, green and not very long (no more than 1-1.5 cm). 
When sprouting potatoes, they need to be moistened. To do this, the tubers are periodically turned over different sides and sprayed with water. Moreover, it is necessary to spray root crops every other day. For spraying, experts recommend alternating plain water, solution mineral fertilizers and ash solution. This alternation helps minimize the risk of pathogenic microflora appearing on tubers. At the same time, the process of their germination is stimulated. Remember that spray solutions should be prepared immediately before use.
An excellent place for germinating potato tubers is a greenhouse. Planting material here should be laid out on a straw bed. Root vegetables must be covered on top plastic film. As a result, seeds will be created necessary conditions for fast and high-quality germination: sufficient humidity and warmth.
Preparing the site
Before growing this crop in your garden, you need to not only know how to plant potatoes, but also what place would be optimal for it.
Sandy loam and medium to light loamy soils are best suited for potatoes. It will also grow well in forest and dried peat soils. At the same time, acidic and heavy soils are not the most best choice for potatoes. In this case, it is worth adding manure to the soil to improve its characteristics. 
Choosing a site for this garden crops, crop rotation must be taken into account. Potatoes can only be planted in the same place after three years. The following vegetables are excellent precursors for it:
- beet;
- cabbage;
- leafy vegetables;
- carrot.
In this case, you need to prepare the soil itself. This will improve productivity in the future. To do this, fertilizers should be added to the soil. Usually they are applied for the first time in the fall, when all the crops from the fields have been collected and the vegetation has been removed. The most the best way soil fertilization is the introduction into it natural fertilizers, especially humus.
To prepare the land for planting potatoes, you need one square meter add 10 liters of manure that has rotted. When digging, you can add about 50 g of potassium-phosphorus fertilizers. 
It is worth noting that if there is acidic soils To achieve excellent fruiting, it is necessary to lime. To do this, 400-500 g should be added to the soil per square meter. dolomite flour or lime.
If fertilizers were not applied to the soil in autumn, then this procedure can be carried out immediately before planting planting material. This procedure will be part of the site preparation.
Thus, preparing a place for planting potatoes is carried out according to the following scheme:
note that special attention When it comes to preparing the landing site, attention should be paid to low-lying areas. In lowlands it is necessary to provide drainage through which excess water will drain.
But it is also necessary to remember that preparation of the planting site should be carried out immediately before planting the planting material:
- beds and holes are formed at the selected location;
- Fertilizers must be added to the bottom of each hole to enrich the soil with the necessary useful microelements, as well as to protect root crops from pests. To increase productivity, it is recommended to add to the pits wood ash and humus (one handful each). You can apply any other fertilizers;
- In addition to fertilizers, you can place onion skins. Its smell will repel pests such as two-tailed grass, wireworms and mole crickets from your plantings;
- After adding all the components to the well, they need to be mixed well.
It is worth noting that some gardeners advise putting black beans in the holes. However, in reality, such manipulations do not always bring obvious and positive result. Therefore, few people know and use this method in practice.
When the planting material is prepared for planting, and the location has been chosen correctly, you can begin directly planting the seeds in the holes. However, here you need to choose the right time.
When to plant
One of the most important points Growing potatoes is the choice of planting dates. Even if all the preparations were carried out correctly, an incorrectly chosen disembarkation time can ruin all your efforts. 
It is worth noting that the choice of planting dates directly depends on both the potato variety and weather conditions terrain. However, there is no need to rush. It's better to wait until the street has settled down warm weather. But you shouldn’t wait too long, since the ground shouldn’t dry out too much. Here, as elsewhere, a golden mean is needed. According to folk wisdom, tubers should be planted in the ground when small leaves appear on the birch and poplar.
Professional gardeners say that the ideal time for planting is when the soil at a depth of 10 cm has warmed up to 10 degrees. At the same time, at night the temperature should also not fall below 10 o C. 
You can find information that tubers are planted after strong shoots have formed on them and the soil has warmed up to 6 o C. Although potato growers can argue with this statement. In this case, the planted tuber will not always germinate.
Landing technology
To plant potatoes correctly and get a good harvest, you must adhere to specific technology planting planting material. The key to success in this situation will be the correctly chosen planting pattern, which should be 80x35. This space between the rows will be quite enough for the bushes to be comfortable. With more frequent planting, the bushes will shade each other. At the same time, they will be poorly ventilated, which can lead to late blight. In such a situation, there can be no question of any high-quality hilling.
Reducing the gap between plants is allowed only in a situation where the area has small sizes, as well as when growing early ripening varieties on black soil. In this case, the bushes do not form very tall and powerful greenery, which does not affect their productivity. In this case, the distance between the rows may be not 80 cm, but 60 cm. 
Variations are also possible with the distance between neighboring plants. If the planting material consists of small tubers, then the distance of 35 cm can be reduced to 20 cm. For early varieties this parameter can be 26 cm (about one and a half bayonets of a shovel). Late varieties will give good harvest with a distance between tubers of 30 cm.
It is worth noting that when growing potatoes on heavy soils The tubers are planted at a distance of 45 cm from each other.
The depth of planting root crops is also important. Their optimal depth should be 7-10 cm. This parameter depends on the characteristics of the soil and the size of the planting material:
- large tubers should be planted deeper;
- small potatoes are planted closer to the surface.
- for light soils, a depth of 10 cm will be normal;
- for clayey and dense soils, the holes should have a depth of no more than 5 cm.
Tubers should be planted in the prepared holes with their sprouts facing down. The ground underneath them should be loose. When the potatoes are planted in holes, they are covered with earth on top and the soil is leveled using a rake.
As you can see, growing potatoes is not so difficult.

Caring for raspberries in summer: basic work
1. Raspberries love sunny places, so provide them with enough light. But make sure that the soil under the bush does not dry out! The plant needs to be watered quite abundantly, about 1-2 times a week, without creating a “swamp”. Apply water to the roots, do not pour on the leaves.
2. Conservation of soil moisture and weed control – important stages caring for raspberries in summer. An earthen rampart can be built around the bushes, and the soil under the plant can be mulched with sawdust, peat, straw, and humus. This will also make the soil more fertile.
3. Properly caring for raspberries means feeding them in a timely manner. It’s good when, even before planting the plant, the area was fertilized with humus at the rate of a bucket per square meter. If the soil is poor, in June-July you can feed the raspberries with ash, adding 100 g per square meter. Alternatively, in mid-summer add complex feeding: 4 grams of phosphorus, 6 grams of nitrogen and potassium each, mixed with 3 kilograms of rotted manure.
Do not overfeed the plant! Make sure you really need fertilizer for raspberries:
Raspberry leaves take on a light green hue when there is a nitrogen deficiency;
Too fast growing, fatty shoots and poor raspberry yields occur when overfeeding with nitrogen;
The leaves have turned brown - perhaps there is not enough potassium;
From the middle to the edge the leaves begin to turn yellow, then they fall - magnesium is needed;
4. Although the raspberries are pretty unpretentious plant, but it may not avoid infection by viruses, fungi, and insect pests. For a good harvest, it is recommended to carry out timely treatment and prevention of plant diseases.
Raspberries should be treated with Bordeaux mixture and various chemical and biological preparations at least a month before harvesting, preferably before buds open, flowering and after fruiting.
Can the plant be treated? natural means, So, from various pests, including aphids, spider mite, raspberry flies and beetles, caterpillars are well helped by spraying the bushes with an infusion of ash (300 g per 10-liter bucket), mixed with 40 grams dissolved in water laundry soap. Infuse the mixture of ash and soap for 4-5 hours. Another option is a four-day infusion of husks onions(for a 10-liter bucket - 200 g).
In summer it will protect raspberries from many diseases proper watering, mulching, removing fallen leaves and weeds, loosening the soil around the plantings. If the bushes were not cultivated in the spring, watch the raspberries especially carefully. At the first appearance of signs of damage to one bush, the most radical and the right way to save the rest of the crop - dig up and burn diseased shoots. When cutting, immediately pack them tightly in film before taking them outside the site.
5. If you have learned how to properly care for raspberries in the summer and have received a good harvest, after picking the berries, cut the fruit-bearing branches to the ground, without stumps, and select and leave the strongest ones from the young shoots. In the spring you will do the final pruning of overwintered raspberries.
Every gardener dreams of high yield and does everything possible for this. It is important to get support before boarding higher powers. This can be done with the help of special prayer texts and conspiracies.
It has long been noted that Orthodox Christians have high yields in their gardens and dachas, even in a “bad” year, and the grown fruits are well stored.
Rules for every gardener
Before turning to heavenly powers, the following conditions must be met:
- When planting seeds, it is not recommended to lend money.
- It is better to work in the beds without prying eyes. This especially applies to neighbors.
- We need to treat the land with respect.
- It is better to plant plants on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday.
- When the seed has already been lowered into the hole, each time you need to say the words:
“Grow, don’t make a mistake, let there be a good harvest.”
When landing, you need to pay attention to the cycles of the moon. During the waning moon, root crops are planted: potatoes, carrots, beets, etc. During this period, it is advised to start weeding and destroying harmful insects. Shrubs and fruit trees are planted on the growing moon. Before the full moon, bushes and plants should be replanted.
Whom does one pray to for a good harvest?
For many centuries, Russian farmers have been turning to God to receive large number born fruits and grains. In any task in the garden or vegetable garden, you must ask for help from the Lord.
Address prayers to Jesus Christ and Mother of God, and also:
- to the Apostle Luke;
- Hieromartyrs Charalampius and Blasius;
- Martyr Phokas;

Pray to the Merciful Lord, that He may turn away His anger from us, righteously moved against us by our deeds, and may, despising our countless sins, turn us, the servant of God (names), to the path of repentance, and may He establish us on the path of His commandments. Also, with your prayers in the world, save our life, and in all good things, ask for good haste, all that we need from God for life and piety, from all misfortunes and troubles and sudden death, through your intercession, delivering us and protecting us from all enemies, visible and invisible, and Thus, having passed this temporary life in the world, we will achieve eternal peace, where through your holy supplication may we be worthy of the Heavenly Kingdom of Christ our God, to whom, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, be due all glory, honor and worship forever and ever. Amen".

“Sent down upon us, Mother of God, gracious help, and when the sower goes out, let the seeds not fall along the way or in the midst of thorns, or on the stones, but on good soil. Make them rise, so that the earth may produce fruit a hundredfold, and we all cry out to God with joyful hearts and grateful lips: Alleluia.”
Prayer to the Lord
The text of the most powerful prayer:
“Almighty God, we call upon Thy mercy, so that Thou hast deigned to nurture these seeds, which Thou hast deigned to nurture with Thy blessing. Grant, O Master, to Your people to always thank You for Your gifts, and turn away the souls of the hungry from the barrenness of the earth, so that the poor and the rich, the sick and the strong, glorify Your name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".
A plot for a good garden

“From east to west, from north to south. From the sea to Buyan Island. Earth Mother, Earth, you gave birth to us and endowed us with a ridge. Let the ridge not become scarce; let every vegetable grow on it. And give them drink for life, for life, for wealth. Amen".
Afterwards crumbs of bread are poured onto it and they cross it three times. The bread should be illuminated in the temple. At the end they say:
“The bird will fly in and consecrate the garden bed. Amen".

“The earth gave birth, the earth rewarded, the earth enriched, Mother of God, save. Amen".
Ritual for seeds

“Fire, water, fire, water, the time has come for the seed. The seed will take heat, no matter how much water flows away. For good. To your health. For the harvest. Amen".
Depending on the type of crop, it is necessary to keep the seeds in a thermos for a certain amount of time at a specific water temperature. For example, pepper and cucumber seeds are kept for a little less than half an hour. The water should be at a temperature of 45 degrees.
Before planting, the seeds must be blessed. To do this, a prayer is read over them for the consecration of the seeds, and sprinkling with holy water is performed.

You cannot remove the seeds from the glass before planting. When planting, you need to say:
“There is hail in Jerusalem, There is rain in Jerusalem, There is trouble in Jerusalem, And in my garden there is a ridge. Just as butter is rich, so are my ridge and my table rich. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

“The vein is scarlet, the blood is red, the berry grows juicy and beautiful. Get nourished from the sun, swell from the moon. Amen!".

“I will take off the dark cloth, the black damage, from the Holy Land. Lord, bless my land, may fruits be born so that I can feed myself. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
Conspiracy after harvest
When all the fruits have been collected, the beds are cleared of unnecessary plants. Bad plants burn, weeds are put into compost. Ashes from plants should be poured into compost heap and say:
“Fire is a healer, ash is a baker. They obey my word, they need my word. Amen".
After this, the soil is loosened to a shallow depth. After 14 days, the beds are dug up to their full depth and the roots of weed plants are removed. Larvae chafer collected and destroyed by throwing them into the fire. It must be said:
“My garden is at the gate, and for you a beetle means a hundred sufferings and a hundred torments. Burn, burn in fire, you won't come back to me. My words are molded, strong, forged in fire. So be it."
