When all the remains of vegetation in the beds are collected, and the garden is trimmed and cleared of fallen leaves, summer residents have only one concern left, after which they can close the season and rest until the sowing season.
This is not a difficult task, but it is very important – you need to wrap the fruit trees in old tights.
Why tights?
Because old and torn stockings and tights are most often thrown away, and over the course of a year, a lot of this stuff can accumulate.
Despite the presence of holes or other defects, they remain just as strong, will last more than one season and can provide an invaluable service at the dacha right now.
Yes, you can store onions and garlic in them - harvest or seeds for sowing.
But it would be better to tie them around young tree seedlings, which may be damaged by rodents and hares in winter.
In search of food, animals often look into temporarily abandoned areas, where they eat the young bark, which can cause the seedling to die.
In addition, simple protection allows you to protect trees from severe frosts.
It is enough to just tightly wrap the stockings around the trunk like a bandage and fix it.
For reference
Pantyhose are a type of underwear that is a connected pair of stockings, made of elastic materials: silk, nylon, lycra, elastane or their combinations. They are available in various colors and thicknesses.
