The final cabbage harvest is just around the corner, so it's time to think about what we'll do with the plant residues.
Often leaves and stems remain.
What options are available?
Some people think that it is worth leaving cabbage plant remains on the plot. The logic is simple: over the winter, the cabbage should be processed and improve the soil composition.
At first glance, this decision seems reasonable.
However, this is just a false impression. It is always important to remember that cabbage is one of the most favorite delicacies for many pests.
They will be active until the cold weather sets in. If you leave cabbage leaves and cabbage stalks on the plot, you can significantly increase the pest population.
As a result, it will be extremely difficult to fight them.
Therefore, plant remains, pre-shredded, should go into the compost pit. In this case, they will be useful. However, first you need to make sure that the cabbage looks healthy. If there are signs of problems, it is better to destroy such plant material.
