In spring, a lot of work related to the care of the plot appears at the dacha. However, not all the work that seems useful actually benefits your garden or vegetable garden.
You will learn about 5 jobs that may be useless or even harmful to your garden in the spring.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" - a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer, told what you shouldn't do at your dacha in the spring.
Excessive pruning of plants
Pruning plants is an important procedure, but over-pruning can harm your plants.
Each plant has its own characteristics and pruning requirements, so it is important to study the information about each species and follow the recommendations.
Incorrect pruning can result in weakened plants and poor growth.
Replanting flowers and plants at the wrong time
Repotting flowers and plants is a common chore in the spring, but it's not always beneficial.
Some plants have a specific time for repotting, and repotting at the wrong time can cause stress and damage to the root system.
Before repotting, study the requirements of each plant and choose the right time for repotting.
Use of chemical fertilizers without measure
Chemical fertilizers can be beneficial for plants, but if used incorrectly, they can harm the ecosystem and plant health.
Use fertilizers with caution and follow dosage recommendations.
It is best to turn to organic fertilizers that have a gentle effect on plants and maintain balance in the soil.
Late thinning of fruit trees
Thinning fruit trees is an important step in caring for them, but thinning too late can lead to undesirable consequences.
If you leave too many fruits on the tree, they will be small and underdeveloped.
Thin out at the right time so that plants can focus their resources on producing quality fruit.
Overwatering
In the spring, it is often tempting to water plants frequently and generously, but overwatering can lead to root rot and the development of fungal diseases.
Water plants sparingly, especially during periods of heavy rainfall when the soil is already moist.
