February – time to go to the dacha: gardeners were reminded of important things to do on the plot at this time
In February, it is too late for summer residents to admire the scenery. It is necessary to gradually return to normal and tidy up the garden.
At this time, you need to do more than just dig up paths at your dacha.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told what absolutely needs to be done in the garden in February.
First, you need to clear the trees and bushes of stuck snow.
This must be done carefully so as not to break the fragile branches.
Secondly, the collected snow should be placed in the tree trunk circle. Many advise to compact it.
Not all gardeners agree with this, but supporters of this idea believe that mice are not as active in dense snow.
Thirdly, if there is little snow, you need to stock up on what you have. Install barriers, collect snow from roofs and buildings and pile it under trees and bushes.
Fourthly, if there is little snow in the greenhouse or it has melted, you also need to replenish the supply.
Fifthly, you need to check the condition of the sheltered plants and the shelters themselves. Perhaps mice have been somewhere or settled - then you need to take measures against rodents.
Sixthly, in the south at this time fruit trees are pruned.
Previously, we talked about which crops should not be planted after cucumbers.
