With the advent of spring, gardeners and gardeners have more and more business to do. At this time, trees are cut, wounds on the bark are treated, flowers are transplanted, gardens are dug up, and much more.

Snow fight

In some regions, in March, snow still lies, but the spring temperature and the bright sun make it heavy and friable. Such snow can cover the branches of young, still weak, trees. From severity, a fracture of weak shoots can occur, so it should be gently shredded. The grooves and the places where the drainage is also cleared of snow, the development of additional dampness will not lead to anything good. The beds are also cleaned.

This snow does not need to be dumped on a heap, it is still useful. It can be laid around a tree, so the roots will thaw more slowly. After all, the dark soil warms up quickly enough, which means that the sap flow will begin earlier, and no one canceled the night frosts. Excess snow can be used on beds with strawberries and raspberries.

Cuttings and branches sprinkled for vaccination can also be covered with snow, and sawdust from above, which will mirror the sunlight and prevent it from melting. In the mowed areas, it is possible to build a fence from it, which will retain moisture and with this help the soil is better moistened.

All heat-loving plants that are sheltered for the winter begin to open little by little so that the roots receive more air and mold does not form, which appears most often in places of high humidity.

Burns

In March, the weather may be far from spring, and tree bark suffers from it. During the day, there is a plus temperature at which the sun's rays burn the bark, and at night it is completely different. Such differences adversely affect her. A well-known precaution is whitewashing. You can whiten trees with hydrated lime in boiling water, or with special paint. The procedure is carried out in sunny weather without wind.

Garden pruning

Low temperatures are quite painful on trees, the bark begins to crack, and the branches freeze. Until the tree wakes up and sap flow begins, you need to cut off all diseased branches and cover up the wounds.

Just wounds can not be left in this form, they are cleaned with a knife, treated with an aqueous solution of copper sulphate and covered with garden var. Succinic acid will help accelerate healing, which disinfects wounds and further carries out processing.

It is in March that seasonal pruning of all diseased and improperly growing shoots is carried out. Wait for the right temperature. To understand which branches have deteriorated during the winter, you need to cut off their edge and look at the color of the trunk, if it is light, then you don’t need to trim, on the contrary, then you need to.

Bushes of raspberries, gooseberries and other fruiting, are cut in the fall, now they are only forming them, cutting branches so that the berries are larger.

Pest control

With the onset of heat, all small pests leave their burrows and move to more comfortable places, in the cellar or basement. Pickled grains are used for their struggle. Small insects living in the cortex are fought with a special hunting belt.

When the temperature is stable, the garden is sprayed with antifungal drugs. In such solutions, you can add funds for the prevention of garden diseases.

Additional work in March

When the snow begins to melt, the roots of some bushes may become bare. To prevent malfunctions, they are compacted a little and mulched with peat.

The lawn on which snow lay also requires attention. It is cleaned with a fan-shaped rake so as not to damage the blade of grass. At the end of March, nitrogen fertilizers are applied to stimulate the growth of young shoots. If you are sure that the frost will not return, then boldly open the vineyards and roses.

Troubles in the garden are always pleasant, the further existence of the garden depends on the quality of the work performed. The above recommendations can prevent the problem and maintain its healthy state.
