Preparation for winter in the country

Vintage assembled, gardens and gardens go on vacation. But with the onset of cold weather, the work does not end. And until the real frosts have hit, you need to have time to put in order bed and take care of a reliable wintering of garden plants.

In the garden
Winter cookings begin in September and, depending on the weather, end in late November. There are no special tricks here, but I will come to this case seriously.
As a rule, I start with the garden. I clean it from organic residues and together with garden leaves we add them to a compost bunch.
Ridges are driving on the bayonet shovel, but I do not break the clock. In winter, such soil blocks are frozen, a significant part of the pests and causative agents die.
Before Morozov, we turn a planting mixture for seedlings: one part of the turf and humus, two parts of the sand. For cabbage on the bucket of planting mixture, add ash (2 cups) or haired lime (1 cup). For some vegetables (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers) I use a mixture of humus and peat (1: 1). For all vegetables on the bucket of the mixture, add 60 g of superphosphate and 20 g of potassium sulfate. Instead of fertilizer, sometimes I simply smell 3 glasses of ash. The prepared mixture put in a dry place.

In the garden
Even a slight decrease in temperature destructively affects the vital activity of garden plants, their root system suffers. Resistance to low temperatures in the above-ground and underground trees are different. And in order to protect the roots from winter damage, I use different ways to protect the soil from deep freezing. If there is no snow, shelted the rolling circles by any organic material, vanting, velvetsev or compost. If a lot of snow fell, it skeins it under the trees, and on top of a layer of humus or manure. I remove it in the spring when the threat of strong frosts will take place.
I want to pay attention to the fact that the first snow should not be completely covered around the tree trunk. After all, even a layer in
5 cm can protect the roots from the twenty-degree frost.
And, of course, all the trees, except for the young, I definitely be a white. Tells disinfects plants and protects their trunks from burns. It must be done before the onset of sustainable freezers.
I wish you success to those who seek them, because only labor leads to success.

To master gardening and garden science I started 10 years ago, when our family acquired its own giving. Then in matters of agriculture I understood little. Now I will work with early spring and until late autumn. And this work is in joy. I would like to tell how I prepare our site by winter.
Before the final freezing of the soil, I will definitely produce watering the garden at the rate of 30-40 buckets per adult tree. After the first frosts, when the soil fluctuates 3-5 cm, the coil circles in the trees and the berries at 5-10 cm fall asleep. Roses shelter sand and sweetheart, planting bulbs of tulips, daffodils, garlic and onions - dry leaves. Before they are assumed to have stable frosts, we make a whitewash of adult trees with a coil and cracked bark. Then spray all the plants with lime milk (2.5 kg of freshly lime on the water bucket). Before spraying, I focus it in three layers of Marley. In November, we cut the berry shrubs. For black currant, I remove broken and weak annual shoots, leaving 3-4 strong branches on the bush. At the gooseberry and red currants, I cut out unnecessary young shoots, as well as shoots older than 8-10 years old, which are bad fruit. Annual raspberry shoots and blackberries tying in bundles, bend to the ground and insulate the sweetheart.
To protect young trees from mice, trunks
Before the first branch, we bind the bagnik, and the stem and the branches wind by old pantyhose.
Moreover, I have a cheese down and watch the height of the strapping of the strain and stems was above the snow cover possible in our garden.
In the garden after the leaffall, the nests of winter pests are well noticeable. Gently remove them, and the leaves affected by the fungus, I collect and instil the pit to a depth of 40-50 cm. All cropped and dry branches burn.
Before falling out of snow, I sow carrots, parsley, celery, dill, cilanthole. At the same time, the grooves fall asleep dry soil so that the seeds sprout only in early spring. On cold days, crops shelter by plastic film.
All the best and good winter!
