Winter is considered a rest period for gardeners.
However, it is worth visiting your country house periodically even during the cold season.
This should be done even if the winter months are particularly cold.
After all, it is necessary to carry out procedures, the importance of which many summer residents forget.
An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what to do on a summer cottage during severe frosts.
Shake off the snow
Frosts are often accompanied by heavy snowfalls.
A lot of white precipitation appears on trees and bushes. Snow should be shaken off these plants periodically, otherwise the branches may break.
A snow "cap" may also appear on the greenhouse. To keep the structure in order, precipitation must be removed from it as well.
Cover the beds with snow
If frosty periods are not accompanied by a large amount of snow, then it is still worth coming to the dacha.
It is necessary to protect open beds from low temperatures. The snow that was still collected should be used as a covering material.
Fight rodents
Winter is a period of particular vulnerability of trees to rodents.
Therefore, in the cold season it is worth using special means, as well as performing a procedure such as trampling down the snow in the tree trunk circles.
