Is there a pond on your country plot? That's very good!

Firstly, there is no shortage of oxygenated water. And such liquid is good because you can safely water your plants with it!

Secondly, the pond attracts birds, which help eliminate many insects that pose a serious danger to garden and vegetable crops.

Thirdly, a small artificial pond is a good "decoration". The dacha turns into a great place for rest and relaxation.

At the same time, the pond can also become a source of problems. Thus, during the "golden" time of the year, the reservoir has to be constantly cleared of leaves.

However, if you perform one simple action at the end of summer, the above-described difficulty is unlikely to make itself known.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh addressed summer residents with an important reminder.

What to do with a pond in the last days of August

There are literally a few days left before the onset of calendar autumn.

However, there is still time to protect the pond.

Have time to cover the artificial pond with a fine mesh before September 1.

Of course, the device needs to be secured. Pegs will come to the rescue.

Timely tensioning of the net is a guarantee that leaf blades will not fall into the pond.

The mesh material can only be removed after the leaves have fallen.
