Experienced gardeners know that even in December there is a reason to go to the dacha. Not only to check the safety of the property.
There is a whole list of things that you absolutely must do at this time of year, instead of watching your favorite TV series.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told what needs to be done in the garden in December.
Remove snow
Snow needs to be removed not only from paths, roofs and outbuildings. Trees and fruit bushes need to be shaken off.
Wet snow or a thick layer of it can break branches. During a thaw, the snow can melt and turn into an icy crust.
You can already take care of the snow supply in the trunk area of trees, shrubs, in the greenhouse and in the garden.
In this case, the collected snow does not need to be compacted.
Trimming
In dry and frosty weather, you can prune trees and bushes.
This applies to those who did not have time to prepare the garden for the new season in the fall, or in the event that the branches cracked under the weight of the snow and broke.
Feeders
In winter, you need to feed the birds. During this time, they will get used to it, and there is a chance that they will stay in your garden for a long time. In this case, the summer resident will have an ally in the fight against pests.
Therefore, you need to leave unsalted lard on the branches, which tits and woodpeckers love, and for other birds, sunflower seeds, oatmeal, and millet.
