Experienced summer residents know well that it is best to trust secrets from the past.
In the past, people were able to reap excellent harvests without industrial chemicals.
One of such unusual secrets is collecting cones in a pine forest. Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", landscape designer and agronomist, tells us how they can be used in the country.
What are the benefits of pine cones?
The best mulch
Few people know that pine cones can be the best option for mulch due to their properties. In the cold season, cones will protect the root system from adverse weather conditions.
But in the summer you don’t have to worry about hot weather.
It is also worth noting that no weed can overcome this mulch.
Drainage
It is important to know that you can always have incredibly high-quality drainage on hand. Rhododendrons and hydrangeas respond especially well to it.
For cooking on a campfire
If you add a couple of pine cones when starting a fire, the food will have a very pleasant aroma that cannot be compared to anything.
