Garden: Transplanting older plants

Shrubs or trees planted in the spring can be done without any special measurestransplant next springSuch a move in autumn they are risky as the young roots may not be strong enough. In the spring, we dig uproot lump rootmore than 1/3 larger than when planting, so that it also includesnew roots

Trees and shrubsthat have been growing in one place for several years should be transplanted with great care.In the spring, we cut the soil around the trunk around the circumference of a large circle. Losing the roots will cause the plant to create lots oftiny rootsthat will strengthen itsroot lump root ballWe repeat the whole procedure next spring. The specimen prepared in this way canoverdo in autumn

Older trees that grow over 6-8 years in one place shouldoverdo it professionals . In order for them to catch on in a new place, they shouldstay very strong trimmed before the move .

Balcony and Terrace: Pots in a warming sleeve

Containers with potted plants that will remain on the terrace or balcony for the winter should bewrapped with material warming SpecialJute sleeveswith sewn pockets, which are usually filled withfiber coconut ,wool wood ,polystyreneor pillows air pillows The sleeves must be tied with string or tape, so that even in strong winds they stick tightly to the walls of the pot.

Plants in the house: Flowers under the ceiling

If thewindowsill is missing space , the plants can be placed in baskets suspended from the ceiling. The length of the lines (or chains) should be selected so that the containers are athigh sight .

Orchard and Vegetable: Time to dig the heavy soil

We have good news for all those who after harvestingforgot to dig beds In many cases, this can be dispensed with, because on land regularly enriched withcompostorsown greenfertilizersoil microorganisms take over the lion's share of the work. Then it is enough to loosen the substratewith a cultivatororwith a conditioner , cover it withwith a layer moistened leaves or straw and sprinkle with flourrock flourorlimealgaeMicroorganisms will do the rest.

In spring, after cleaningbeds from bedding , the preparation of the substrate will be very easy. Onsoils heavy , consisting mainly of clay,however without spadeThe easiest way to dig the ground issurface frozenUnfortunately, one dig for a little it will work, because onuncovered surfacesandnon-carious pomrozowa efficiencyof the role is lost again.Therefore, the substrate must be digged every year.
