The previous dacha season ended only recently. It would seem that gardeners and vegetable growers can take a rest.
However, experienced summer residents understand that it is too early to relax.
After all, in a few months the new dacha season will begin. And preparations for it need to start now.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh listed three important actions that need to be completed in December.
Buy drugs
The beginning of winter is the best time to buy products designed to protect garden and vegetable crops.
It is worth stocking up on such preparations at the beginning of winter, since during this period these products are relatively cheap due to low demand.
Check the seeds
The first month of winter is a period that should be devoted to checking the condition of the seeds.
Many of them may have expired. These bags should be thrown away. Then you need to buy new packages with seeds.
In this case, the summer resident will not be faced with an unpleasant “surprise” before and during the growing of seedlings.
Disinfect the soil
Winter is a great time to improve the condition of the soil, as well as to rid it of pests and pathogens of dangerous diseases.
Low temperatures make it possible to achieve the desired result without using expensive preparations.
It is enough to leave the container with soil in the open air for a while.
