Why do you need to clean tree trunks: it will be easier for trees in the spring

There is quite a lot of work in the garden, and November is not yet the time to relax, as there are only a few days left before the frosts.

You have probably already whitewashed the trunks and even tied the branches of young trees with twine.

But do not forget about the importance of mulching the tree trunk circles - this task must be completed as quickly as possible.

Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

How to properly clean and mulch tree trunk circles

When frost and a hard crust form on the surface of the earth in the morning, you can begin cleaning the tree trunk circles.

Remove old mulch and old fallen leaves, and remove up to 5 cm of soil.

In its place, you need to pour a layer of fresh lowland peat 10-15 cm thick.

This simple work will help get rid of some of the wintering pests, fungal spores, bacteria and pathogens that may appear in the spring.
