There are only a few weeks left before the arrival of calendar spring.
At the end of winter, a summer resident should visit his country plot to do several important things.
If you prepare your garden for the spring period in advance, you will be able to avoid many problems associated with planting and growing trees and shrubs.
So what are some important activities that an amateur gardener should not forget about in February?
Inspection of plants
It is necessary to check the condition of trees and shrubs. There should be no pests on them.
If parasites are still present, then you should fight them using special means.
Snow and garbage removal
If snowfalls have been a frequent occurrence in recent weeks, then snow removal will need to be done.
It is not worth stopping at this. Various garbage should also be removed. If there are organic remains, then you should think about sending them to the compost pit.
Trimming
At the end of the calendar winter, the summer resident must remove excess branches from trees and shrubs.
We are talking about shoots that have serious damage or signs of illness.
Preparing greenhouses
If the greenhouse needs repairs, it is advisable to carry out the relevant procedures before March.
If the summer resident puts the premises in order in time, then there will be no problems with spring planting of crops.
Checking the condition of fertilizers
The owner of a country plot must make sure that the fertilizers that were stored at the dacha all winter can still be used.
Problems often arise with unburned wood residues: they may have become damp.
To prevent this from happening, the container with ash should be moved to a room where there is no high humidity.
