Where to put snow when clearing paths at the dacha: the best option
The beginning of this winter was quite snowy.
Owners of country plots now have a lot of work to do: they have to remove snow from the roof of the greenhouse and from the branches of fruit trees.
In addition, it is necessary to clear the paths, otherwise the layer of snow will become so thick that it will be impossible to pass.
Many gardeners have a question: “What to do with the snow, huge masses of which accumulate when clearing the path?”
A recommendation on this matter was shared by an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
Where to put the snow
Snow is a very useful covering material.
Obviously, this type of precipitation is not a source of high temperature. However, it does not allow the soil cover to lose heat.
Therefore, heavy snowfall is good news for a summer resident. It is much worse when the frost period is accompanied by a small amount of white precipitation.
When clearing paths, the summer resident must send snow to those areas where plants are located that may be damaged by severe frosts.
We are talking about winter crops, flowers, fruit trees and shrubs.
Thanks to the snow that appears in these places, the soil will not freeze too much. Thus, the plants and their root systems will receive reliable protection.
