Why you need to get rid of the snow crust on your flowerbed: plants can suffer
An experienced gardener knows that a flower garden needs care in winter – so if you stay in the country during this period, you can perform simple actions.
Some perennials may require hilling with snow, but this rule only applies in the presence of loose snow and frost.
But, as we all know, the weather can change dramatically and an unexpected thaw sets in.
Let's pay attention to the simple advice of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and scientist-agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What can be done?
The gardener needs to ensure that a crust does not form on the surface of the snow; in this case, the plant may begin to rot after the thaw sets in.
This is quite dangerous for a perennial flower, as it can simply die due to rotting processes.
Therefore, our task is to destroy the crust - it is better to do this during the day.
You can also make holes in the snow if too much of it has fallen on the flower bed.
