To prevent the breeding of pathogenic organisms and other harmful creatures, you need to clean up the area.
The vegetable garden and orchard must be cleared of various debris, which can become a real magnet for problems for summer residents.
There is not much work, but it is important. The first thing to do is to clean up the root zone of fruit trees. Rotten, broken and other fruits are collected and, for example, sent to compost.
Don't think that they will rot under the tree and become fertilizer. The fruits can attract pests or become a source of disease that will spread throughout the garden in the spring. In compost, all this will rot and rot and become harmless in a couple of years.
It is also worth walking along the beds and collecting the tops of the plants. Throw them into the compost or burn them, and scatter the ashes during digging or save them until spring.
It is also better to rake up the leaves in late autumn and put them in compost or turn them into ash.
