The greenhouse and hotbed need to be prepared for the winter period if you want to get a harvest next year.

In addition to treating the frame against possible fungal growth, it is necessary to remove plant debris.

We suggest we discuss this topic in more detail.

Let's see what the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh thinks about this.

Why is it necessary to dig up plant remains?

First of all, we dig up the weeds by the roots and also remove the fruiting bushes of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and other crops.

This is done because among them there may be stems with signs of disease - such branches need to be burned.

You can sort out the healthy tops and send them to a compost pit or simply burn them in a specially equipped place.

If you don’t want to burn it, then the plant remains are placed in a compost pit, sprinkled with urea and covered with film.

In other words, we do everything possible to remove “sick” vegetation remains.
