06.11.2023 12:06
Many areas contain a variety of trees: some serve an aesthetic function, while others are planted for harvesting purposes.
In any case, we would not want the plants to feel bad and die.
However, in some cases, we ourselves may be to blame for such an unfavorable outcome, says agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.
What are the 3 most common mistakes to be aware of?
Inaccurate loosening
Everyone knows the recommendation that trees need to be provided with good aeration. The most accessible method is loosening the soil located above the roots.
However, it is important to understand that any awkward movement can damage the root system. As a result, the plant may die.
Therefore, when completing the task, it is worth sticking to a depth of 10-15 centimeters.
Incorrect mulching
Everyone knows that a properly performed procedure is extremely beneficial for the plant. However, it is important to remember that the mulch should not come into contact with the trunk.
If this happens, the plant may die within a few months. Therefore, when laying the layer, it is worth making an indentation from the trunk.
Hunting belt
This is a very useful acquisition for any gardener, but there is one important condition for correct use: the trapping belt should be removed periodically, and not left on a permanent basis.
If you don't do this, you can simply lose the tree.
