For a long time I read and reread your site with great interest. Very like. Especially rubric " crafts at the cottage" And only now I thought that I had something to share with you. For the last two years, I have been practicing a peculiar preparation of garden flower beds and flower beds by winter.
True, my advice was somewhat late - outside the windows of winter, but I think it will come in handy for future autumn. As it is true, prepare the cart in winter.
So, all the annuals breaking down with the root, and perennials cut off the ground part and all this wealth is at compost. But the leaves of the trees (near the birch, cherry and apple tree grow near) do not assemble and do not burn, as I did before. Just sweeping this gold from the autumn from the tracks and distribute all over the area where flowers grow.
We have in the winter in our Kuban, often instead of snow go rains, and after the rains - frost. And then suddenly plus temperature will be installed. And so several times in the winter. And my colors warm and cozy under foliage, and even in winter the growth process continues. And the earth is good - it seems to be covered with mulch.
I remove the spring foliage not the whole - part of it goes under the steamer, from which the soil becomes loose and fertilized, we advise you to read - how to improve the soil.
I want to say everyone: do not pinch the earth and flowers. The foliage will reliably protect from weather popsicles.
