Despite the fact that in winter all plants on the site are in a state of hibernation, there are still a number of tasks that should not be neglected.

Even in January it is worth coming to the dacha to take care of the area.

Checklist of things to do at the dacha in January

Firstly, it is worth taking a close look at the trunks of fruit trees to find places where pests overwinter.

Secondly, it is extremely important to inspect the garden after each heavy snowfall. If you do not want your trees to be left without branches, it is important to shake them to get rid of excess snow.

Strong winds and snowstorms often cause damage to winter shelters of plants. Therefore, it is worth taking the time to return everything to how it was.

And be sure to replenish the bird feeders hung around the area. Birds are a natural enemy of insects, therefore, they significantly simplify your fight against garden pests.

If there is a greenhouse installed in the garden, you must make sure that everything is in order with it. To do this, it is recommended to clear the structure of snow so that it does not deform under its weight.
