The height of the fence should be at least 10 cm above the surface of the Earth and 10 cm under the ground. Some gardeners prefer for greater reliability to fencing not a plot, and each plant separately.
2. Every year, inspect the place of landing of the orehouse and delete young plants in a timely manner, which appeared spontaneously.
