Trees and flowers need shelter in winter: do it before you leave the dacha
Winter is a relatively dangerous time for many flowers and conifers.
Cold is not the only threat – many trees and shrubs survive this time relatively well.
But a large amount of snow and strong wind can break branches, and hares can strip the bark from below.
Let's see what the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to do.
Features of covering plants and conifers
Choose a couple of days when it is not raining and wait until there is a slight but relatively stable cold spell.
Choose the material and cover the flowers, conifers and heat-loving shrubs with it. It is important to understand that if it is still warm outside, the flowers may rot.
To cover flowers, you can use spruce branches and leaves, and for trees, use agrofibre and other similar materials.
It is better to check and ventilate the shelter from time to time – its frame should not press the plants to the ground.
