5 actions to take in the garden and vegetable garden in mid-spring: advice for summer residents

Mid-April is approaching. Soon the cold will retreat and the snow will stop falling.

The new summer cottage season will come into its own.

Mid-spring is the time when a summer resident should start preparing his country plot.

It is advisable for the gardener to perform the five actions listed below.

Garbage collection

If there is any waste on a country site, it needs to be disposed of.

Before the full start of the new gardening season, you need to make sure that there is no debris accumulated over the winter left on the soil cover.

Removing old mulch

There should not be any mulch layer left on the soil that was laid down in the fall.

First of all, we are talking about leaves, in which dangerous microorganisms could appear.

However, the removed material can still be used. For example, send it to the compost pit. Before this, a fungicide called "Fitosporin" should be added to the leaves, reports TUT NEWS .

Checking the condition of the tracks

In mid-spring, the summer resident must make sure that the paths have not deepened too much during the fall and winter.

If this does happen, you need to fill the holes and level the surface using sand material.

Pruning branches

Woody and shrubby plants should be freed from unnecessary shoots.

We are talking about damaged and diseased branches.

Checking coniferous plants

If the soil around such representatives of flora is dry, then it is advisable to remove the covering material from the plants.
