Winter is coming soon. One of the main tasks of a summer resident at the very end of autumn is preparing fruit trees for frost and snowfall.
It is necessary to ensure that the root system of each of these plants is insulated.
But what material should act as a protective one?
This question was answered by an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.
What to fill tree trunk circles with at the end of autumn
In the second half of November, these areas should be covered with peat.
It is desirable that the thickness of the resulting layer of dense mass be approximately 15 centimeters.
This is exactly how, at the end of the final autumn month, you need to “process” the tree trunks of adult trees growing in your dacha.
What to do with young trees?
As for woody plants that are less than three years old, they, of course, also need to be protected from winter weather conditions. But in a different way.
It is necessary to tie a significant part of the trunk and forks of the shoots of each such tree with spruce branches and raspberry stems.
In addition, it is necessary to dig in the ends of the strapping.
