The next summer season is coming to an end. All gardeners in the last fine days remove the remaining crop from the beds and make blanks for the winter. In a month in summer cottages, it will be difficult to meet the owners, because they will all leave for city apartments, forgetting for the whole winter about their country possessions. However, before leaving the summer cottage until the summer, you need to make sure that he is ready for severe frosts, otherwise it will have to be forgotten about a good harvest next year.
• First of all, you need to get rid of the grass. If the grass is not infected, then it can be sent to the compost hole. If on the grass you find “pests”, then you should be mowed, dry well, and then burn it.
• After gathering the last crop, roll all the beds. Do not try to crush big lumps too much.
• Prepare for winter all trees and shrubs, such as apple tree, cherry, gooseberries, currants, etc. D. Carefully inspect the tree and cut all the “sick” and dried branches. You should also get rid of young shoots. Then the trees need to be fertilized. For this, top dressing with phosphorus and potassium is best suited. They can be bought at any specialized store. Thanks to such top dressing, trees will be better to suffer frosts and next summer they will rejoice you with their fruits.
If there is little snow in your city, but the winter is severe enough, then it is better to botherly bent and securely fix it.
• Often in winter, rodents come to the country in search of food. Therefore, you must collect all the fallen leaves around the trees, tear out the weeds, etc. D. After that, the tree trunk must be sprayed with a solution that can protect it from rodents. Currently, the choice of such funds in stores is quite large.
In addition, if you have a house in the country, albeit a small one, it should also be prepared for the “winter”. Before leaving, turn off the electrical appliances, or it is better to unscrew the corks. This will eliminate the risk of fire. Drain the water from all tanks, clean the gutters of garbage, leave garden inventory in a non -dashing room.
If for the winter you leave things in the country, then it is better to pound the windows so that the thieves could not get into the house. In addition, the property should be protected from small pests, such as rats, and arrange a mousetrap house or lay out poison.
