In mid-autumn, the summer resident must begin preparing his country plot for winter.

There is a lot to do: remove weeds, dig up the soil, and cover the plants.

And you also need to prepare the greenhouse. Unfortunately, many gardeners forget to do this.

If you have a greenhouse on your property, be sure to follow a few important steps.

This must be done before the beginning of November, emphasizes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, an agronomist and landscape designer.

Cleaning up garbage and plant debris

In the final ten days of the second autumn month, the summer resident must clear the greenhouse of debris.

In addition, the greenhouse must be cleared of plant debris.

And you also need to pull out all the weeds.

Disinfection

Next, it is necessary to treat the walls and frame of the greenhouse with a cleaning and disinfecting agent.

There is no need to use expensive chemicals.

You can limit yourself to using soapy water and potassium permanganate.

Strengthening the structure

About a month and a half before the start of winter, it is necessary to strengthen the structure.

It might make sense to install support posts.

The gardener must ensure that the greenhouse acquires the ability to withstand even snowstorm conditions.
