Melt water, as we know, is formed as a result of melting snow or ice.
As the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explains, water obtained in this way has a beneficial effect on plants.
Benefits of Melt Water for Plants
The liquid obtained from melting snow or ice promotes accelerated plant growth.
Thanks to it, the accumulation of green mass occurs faster, and the overall appearance of the plants improves.
Disadvantages of using melt water
Using melt water from snow taken directly from the street to water plants can be risky due to the high content of mineral salts in such water.
In addition, the cleanliness of snow, especially in urban conditions, raises certain doubts.
How to get useful melt water
If you live in a city, which automatically means there is no clean snow, the best way to get melt water is by freezing it in a freezer.
This way you can be sure that the irrigation liquid does not contain excess salts or impurities.
