All summer residents know about the need for regular watering of garden and vegetable crops.
However, only a few people know that in some cases it is necessary to use boiling water instead of moderately warm liquid.
So, which specific representatives of the flora should be watered with water brought to boil?
And in what situations is it worth doing?
Raspberry
Watering with boiling water is an interesting way to protect raspberries from pests and dangerous diseases.
But the procedure must be carried out carefully and in compliance with a number of recommendations. Otherwise, the fruit bush will simply die.
Firstly, you need to water the raspberries with boiling water at the beginning of spring: when there are no severe frosts. At the same time, the air temperature should not be higher than -3 degrees. The plant should not be "awakened" yet.
Secondly, you can't use too hot water. It is desirable that its temperature be 60-70 degrees.
Thirdly, you can water the raspberry bush with such a liquid only once.
Currant
A similar procedure should have a positive effect on currants.
The main thing is to comply with all the conditions described in the previous paragraph.
Weeds
And watering with boiling water is also a good way to combat weeds.
Water the extra plant with very hot water. Keep the container with liquid at a low height.
Boiling water will make the soil "softer" and will have a negative effect on the dangerous flora. As a result, removing the weed with the root will become a very simple task.
Remember: when using boiling water, you need to be very careful. Do not burn yourself and avoid hot water getting on vulnerable plants.
