The first frosts already appear at night, although most of the harvest has been harvested, there are still unfinished business. Today we will tell you what to do for a summer resident during the second month of autumn
We bring beauty
Nature is slowly preparing for the onset of winter, why don't we do it too? First, let's put things in order on our site. Put all the tops from the harvested vegetables (if you do not have a household) in one place. It is advisable not to heap it up, but to lay it in layers. Send all unnecessary foliage and dry grass there. Over time, natural debris will come in handy to fertilize the soil.
Should prepare for cold weather and lawns. They need to be mowed, otherwise in the spring you will not have an even, beautiful green carpet, since it is difficult for the grass to break through the dry sod.
You can also reduce spring worries: move some of the work to October. For example, plant perennial flowers in already empty flower beds. But be careful, you need to plant those that bloom in spring.
We send for the winter
By the way, about empty flower beds. We all often transplant indoor plants outside in the summer. So, it's time to bring them home. The soil for flowers can be fertilized (with various additives that are easy to find in specialized stores, or use last year's humus, if it remains). This will prevent the appearance of possible diseases. And your green favorites will not have to fight ailments.
In addition, right now you can update your plants. Transplant a small flower into a larger pot. And if you met, for example, the rose of your dreams in a flower shop, then do not pass by and be sure to buy it immediately. And after a week, transplant it into your pot and soil.
Don't forget about garden trees
We cut off all diseased, dry and broken branches. And everything that attacked during the harvest period (fruits of apples, ranetki, etc.) must be removed. Pests (worms) live in an already rotten carrion, if all this is not destroyed, then harmful larvae will fall on the tree and in the spring they will infect root crops. The most effective method of dealing with intruders is burying. Bury the whole carrion to a depth of 35 - 40 centimeters. At the end of October, it is advisable to free the trunks and branches from lichens. To do this, you need a 7% or 10% solution of ferrous sulfate. Use three tablespoons per liter of water. Spray the liquid on the trees. After a few days, the lichens should fall off on their own. If autumn did not please with rains, then all vegetation must be shed well. Trees should not be allowed to winter dry. Frost can cause them to dry out. Young growths are especially vulnerable.
By the way, about the gains. In October, the plants, if desired, can be planted. But all young trees must be covered so that rodents do not destroy it. You can tie them with spruce branches or burlap. And be sure to spud the base of the strapping by 15 centimeters.
It's also time to shelter strawberries and other shrubs. For this, hay or a special film is ideal, which will not be difficult to find in any suburban store.
Preparing for spring in advance
Autumn is the best time to take care of the soil. Yes, yes, it was at this time of the year, and for example, not in the spring (as many believe).
So, almost the entire crop has already been harvested, so it's time to prepare the beds for the next gardening season. To do this, you need to dig them up.
We have already talked about the various methods of soil preparation. Of course, you need to remember about garden tools. Before storing tools for winter storage: wash, dry and repair (if required). And only after that send them for the winter.
