An experienced gardener prefers to prepare for winter so as not to have a lot of problems in the spring.
Proper closing of the current season gives the opportunity to start a new one with a greater time advantage.
Some work is best done in September and October, which will allow you to preserve your country site until spring.
Let's see what the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to do.
5 Things It's Not Too Late to Do in October
Here is a list of tasks.
Preparing the lawn for winter. It is necessary to clear the grass of debris and remove the layer of fallen leaves, as it will hinder photosynthesis.
Checking the well. If the water has acquired an unpleasant smell of hydrogen sulfide, then disinfection should be carried out.
Preservation of the septic tank. Two weeks before pumping, clean the tank with special bacteria.
Preparing the water supply. Water from hoses and taps must be drained by gravity.
Treating the basement and cellar. Use an antiseptic to prevent mold from forming.
