Experienced gardeners begin preparing their plots for the summer cottage season as early as February.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, tells us what every summer resident needs to do in February.
First, it is necessary to check fruit trees for mummified fruits and remove them.
Mummified fruits can cause fungal infections.
Secondly, you need to disinfect the soil by treating it with biological preparations. For greater efficiency, you can use fungicides.
Thirdly, in February it is important to protect trees from rodents. For example, you can wrap the trunks with burlap or fabric soaked in a tar solution. You can also tie wormwood or tansy to the trunks.
