Mulch and no trash
Timely removal of various waste (grass, fallen leaves and branches) should be a constant priority task, since in most cases this is the dominant cause of diseases, says Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.
It is also worth organizing a high-quality layer of mulch to make the care even more complete.
