Those who at least once in their lives had to get rid of shrub thickets, remember these days with a smile, and many with discontent. This work is not from the lungs and without help, skill and knowledge is very difficult to cope with the cutting of the shrub.
Many novice daches bought areas in an abandoned state, as they say "from hand to hand." Most people first buy household plots, dreaming to plant more shrubs and trees, and then because of the fuss and lack of time, they rarely appear. As a result, if you do not follow and do not cut forward a young piglet, then the entire area will tap the shrub, from which it is not so easy to get rid of. Many believe that what to mess around, waste time and strength, it is better to sell the overgrown plot and buy everything you need in the market. This is where the most interesting, acquiring land begins, we want to plant garden crops faster and harvest, and you need to start almost from scratch and remove all the scrubbeds that do not bring the crop on the garden plot.
By virtue of inexperience, many novice dacms begin to vigorously fight thickets, a garden tool suffers in an unequal fight, then the shovel was breaking, then chippet. In addition, it is only overcome one bush, as a new one appears in the same place. So you can spend all summer on the plot and not cope with the task. Of course, you can seek professional help, call a special brigade, which in the shortest possible time will quickly and efficiently bring order on your site, but not everyone can afford that pleasure. Causes can be different: starting from the material condition and ending with the impossibility of check-in special equipment, as well as if you need to remove shrubs selectively - leave the fruitful and remove the old and scratched.
Why do you need to remove shrubs?
Before you get an answer to the question, let's start from afar and deal with such an important and necessary question for each dachnik - trimming shrubs and decorative trees. Many novice subsidiaries do not intend how much information you need to know to not harm the Earth and maintain the life of plants as long as possible. Abundant flowering of decorative shrubs in the country area and beautiful thick greens is a significant plus, because at the same time 2 goals are achieved - the decor and the protection of the country area from prying views. If you put on the perimeter of the plot of decorative shrub, for example, a rosehip, then it is not only beautiful, but also useful. In the spring, he will delight us with his beautiful gentle bloom, and in the fall can be collected fruit and a whole winter enjoy a useful vitamin drink. All is well, but there is one but. Most inexperienced gardeners are afraid to get rid of unnecessary slips, they believe that this can harm the plant. It turns out that no one does in time and over time, decorative shrubs grow so much that it is less and less and less space for planting garden crops. What needs to be done to avoid a similar situation?
Leave or not?
As mentioned earlier, if shrubs do not cut, then young piglets will quickly fill all the free space. If timely and correctly make a trimming of damaged and opposed its shoots, then you can hold back the intensive growth of the strokes and form a neat and beautiful shrub. The main task of trimming is not only to get rid of unnecessary slips, but also to achieve beauty so that plants in the garden have an attractive view at any time of the year.
Depending on the type of plant, there are certain techniques. For example, decorative young shrubs need to be simply maintained at a certain stage of growth. In the first year after landing, a skeleton is formed from strong branches, and with the onset of spring all sick branches and rearranged ruthlessly removed. To achieve symmetry, you can neatly trim and severe shoots.
Beautiful shrubs are mostly grown only for the sake of beautiful colors, because pruning is very important. If there are shrubs that do not form powerful shoots from the bottom of the crown, it is not worth worrying - every year the increase will appear around the perimeter of the crown. These include Kalina, Lilac, Barbaris, Magnolia, etc.
Shrubs on a plot of the 2nd category bloom on young shoots (the increase in branches since last year). Blossom begins in the warm season in spring or summer. Due to rapid growth and growing, it is important to trim correctly - remove damaged branches (only 2-5 cm), but you can only do it after flowering, cutting the shrinking branches. The next year, pruning is made according to the same scheme, but you can already simulate the shape of the bush yourself.
The third group of decorative shrubs is quickly growing on young shoots, they need to trim in a timely manner and do not regret in order to prevent the formation of a powerful slope. If no measures are accepted, then after 2-3 months, bloom stops and the shrub grows so much that the root system covers all the free space.
One of the most reliable ways of cutting down a shrub on the country's dacha - digging frightened. For example, if you do not trim in time, the root siblings begin to germinate further and further, gradually capturing the entire area. A good option is to dig a piglet manually. If you resort to the rest of the methods, such as surface resistance, then the next year the young rose rose rose will grow on your site.
How to get rid of shrub
The deforestation of the weed shrub is produced at any convenient time, but if this is done with a specific purpose, for example, getting rid of decorative scruising shrubs, it is better to start early in the spring so that throughout the summer it is to control the situation and gradually remove a separate threshold.
The effective method, compared with the mechanical cutting of the shrub - the use of chemical components. So, the herbicide of the new generation, the drug "Tornado" has proven well. It is used in vineyards, gardens and in the country areas. Excellent copes with weeds, perennial weed plants and shrubs. The principle of his action is: the chemical, penetrated through the stems and leaves, reaches the root system, as a result, after a while, the plant completely dies.
How the Tornado works:
- after processing after 2 hours, the first results are observed;
- a week after spraying, the shrub begins to shine and gradually fade;
- after a half months, the plant will die completely and it will be possible to emerge.
The principle of action of this herbicide is that it does not pose a threat to neighboring, untreated plants. It is possible to plant cultures on the processed area after 3-5 days. Tornado does not penetrate deep into the soil, and therefore does not have a destructive effect on the garden cultures and for the future harvest.
According to the instructions, the herbicide is small-toxic, but when processing shrubs, security measures must be observed, and not allow the chemical to enter the mucous membranes.
By the way, herbicide is harmless to warm-blooded animals and bees, but for fish it can be destructive, so if you have an outdoor reservoir with fish on your summer cottage, then it is better to move them at the time of processing to a safe place.
What are the advantages of Tornado:
- Quickly penetrates.
- You can use for the processing of soil from weed grass before planting.
- Destroys almost all types of weeds, as well as malicious and wood-handicraft vegetation. The range of action is about 155 species of plants.
- It is used as a drying agent of sunflower and grain crops.
- It is equally active at low and high temperatures.
- Does not penetrate the soil.
- Safe for people and plants.
Get rid of shrubs using "Tornado" very simple - enough to make plants and wait a certain time. Processing is better to produce in the evening or early in the morning when it is dry and there is no strong impulse of the wind.
After the shrub perceives, it can be rewarded with the help of forks or carefully remove the plant from the ground. The soil at the venue of the shrub must be switched and make fertilizer.
Roundapup is an equally popular tool of getting rid of weeds. This herbicide is also in honor of the experienced gardeners and summer houses, as he can beat even the most malicious weeds.
So, try to find answers to frequently asked questions when dealing with weeds and cutting down shrubs:
- How much does the means for processing the site? Gebicide is sold in 125 ml bottles. In order to clean 1 weave of the Earth, it is necessary to use from 5 to 10 liters of the diluted solution. It turns out that for the processing of 2 hectares of the Earth, 1 vial of herbicide will be needed. You can spray a plant or grease the leaves with a brush or sponge.
- Use the splitter with fine holes is undesirable. If you use just such a device, then you first pour ordinary water into the bottle, pour the drug and add water again. It turns out that 1 vial of herbicide is divorced in 12 liters of water. After breeding "Roundap", it should be mixed thoroughly. Spray better in dry weather, immediately after the rain it is impossible to make processing, it is better to wait for 6 hours. Also pay attention to how dusting leaves on your shrub, as dust prevents herbicide penetration.
- 7 days after processing, we can still drink weeds and even loosen the soil, so you can prevent herbicide in the root system. After a half weeks, the leaf of the shrub will be faded, and after 2 weeks the shrub will dry completely.
- Remember that in the soil, even after treatment, the seeds of weeds (annual and perennial) remain, therefore the likelihood of their germination even after 2-3 years is not excluded! It turns out that 1 time I process the site, it is impossible to get rid of the problem forever.
- If the ropes of herbicide when processing got into garden crops? This should be avoided, since herbicide can destroy plants. Immediately after processing, to avoid losses, it is better to wash off the preparation with water with vegetable crops. Finding into the ground, "Roundap" will not affect the growth and development of plants.
- The shelf life of the drug - 2 years, but, according to dackets, if you did not break the tightness of the packaging, then the drug will not lose its strength even 5 years.
- Beware of fakes - you can find a yellow preparation on the market with the same name.
Cleaning a shrub section
When the above-described methods in the fight against shrubs do not help, can cope with the cutting of shrubs can be unusual, but very effective methods.
How to cut the shrub:
- Use herbicide. We divorce the tool according to the instructions, we make cuts in the plant with a sharp knife and enter the substance. We are waiting for 7 days. When the plant perits, it will stay with a dry shrub from the ground.
- An interesting way to combat rose hips - if you can't fully remove the shrub thumbs up, then try to "bury" slate sheets on Earth. Depth should be equal to the depth of the roots of the plant. Further, the rosehip will not germinate and over time it can be removed manually, pre-well jerked the ground with a pitchfill.
- In order not to spend the forces and do not dig the roots, you can get rid of them in this way: Land on Earth (to the place where roots are located) Dry-colored film, you can use cardboard (fold it pre-in several layers), rubberoid, sawdust or crushed Cora. From above, you can put grass, cut branches. Such isolation of roots from sunlight will weaken them and they will die.
- If the soil is sandy, then it is possible to remove the roots from the shrub: folded above the dried branches cut off a week ago and pour them. Only be sure to fold them so that it does not catch anything around, the powerful embankment of the fire does not hurt.
- The processing of shrubs before cutting down with a strong urea solution will cope with the task faster.
- Recall the method of our great-grandfather - in the autumn you need to walk along the plug, turn the ground so that the roots remain outside the outside, they will be freezed in winter, and in the spring it will be possible to remove them from the site.
- Fall asleep with salt - an option effective, but after him the earth will not be fertile.
