How to properly protect your garden plot from the wind in winter with a hedge: you need to make three rows of plantings

In winter, wind is one of the main enemies of the garden and trees, which can have an extremely negative impact on crop yields.

One of the ways to cover an area is to create a hedge.

But you can't just plant a lot of trees or shrubs.

Let's see what advice the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh gives.

How to Properly Create a Windbreak from a Hedge

The main task is to create a harmonious three-row variant.

1. The first row consists of unpretentious plants that will take on the first waves of air flow.
2. The second row is large trees that direct the air flow upward.
3. For the third row, you can choose tall ornamental shrubs that will not be damaged by the wind flow.

You can create a vegetable garden or make other plantings behind such plantings – the wind will practically not reach the crops.
