Secrets of a Successful Harvest from Oleg Valenchuk's Gardening School

      The end of the academic year for students is usually associated with stress: tests, exams, worries about grades. However, at the Gardener's School, founded in the Kirov region in 2011 at the initiative of State Duma deputy and chairman of the Union of Gardeners of Russia Oleg Valenchuk, a completely different atmosphere prevails. There is no feeling of tension, grades, or homework. The main focus is on the personal success of each participant, striving for a deep understanding of gardening nuances.

      With the approach of each new season, gardeners have many questions. That is why the hall at the First May Territorial Administration was filled with listeners long before the class began. On March 26, a lecture dedicated to onion agronomy took place here. As is known, garlic and onions are considered universal remedies for many ailments, so no vegetable garden is complete without these crops. However, gardeners often face problems with low yields, poor storage of onions, and bolting. Lecturer Nikolai Baryshev emphasized the importance of choosing quality planting material. He stressed that the bulbs should be free of damage and signs of disease, as this directly affects the yield. The lecturer also discussed sowing dates, soil preparation, and care methods for onions. The right choice of variety, timely planting, balanced fertilization, and proper watering play a crucial role in obtaining a quality and abundant harvest. Participants in the lecture received not only theoretical knowledge but also practical recommendations that will help them turn the struggle with "onion grief" into "onion happiness."

      For those who missed the class, there is no need to be upset. On March 31 at 11:00, Nikolai Baryshev will give this lecture again at the "Kosmos" Culture House. This is a great opportunity for everyone interested to gain valuable knowledge and ask questions. All listeners will also receive a set of elite vegetable seeds from the Union of Gardeners and lunar planting calendars.

      In March, the annual project "Oleg Valenchuk's Gardener School is in touch!" also started for gardening enthusiasts on social media. In the official group of the Union of Gardeners on VKontakte, anyone can ask any questions related to gardening and receive prompt answers. The community wall has already posted the first videos and recordings of past lectures. This allows gardeners to refer to valuable recommendations and advice at any time.

      - The main task of our School is not just to introduce listeners to the basics of growing crops, but to provide verified, modern information and the opportunity to directly ask questions to specialists, - says Oleg Valenchuk. - Each of our lecturers is a true expert in their field. We strive to ensure that the recommendations given in the classes help gardeners achieve good results while avoiding unnecessary expenditures of time, effort, and resources.
