Most summer residents are convinced that once they have mulched their plot, they can forget about this procedure until spring.
However, in reality everything is much more complicated, and you need to devote time to the garden in January.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh explained what needs to be done to ensure that garden and horticultural crops comfortably survive the winter.
According to the expert, it is important to perform a number of necessary, but very simple actions.
According to Kovrizhnykh, it is necessary to regularly change the mulch and inspect the overwintering plants.
The fact is that hungry rodents often look for a secluded and warm place, which is exactly what mulch is.
Hiding under a layer of covering material, mice and rats often begin to gnaw the roots and young shoots of “dormant” plants.
Accordingly, it is worth not only changing the mulch, but also setting traps on the site in a timely manner, as well as poison for mice.
