In October it is worth working and be in time completing before severe colds autumn works in garden. It is necessary to say goodbye to garden wreckers and diseases, to prepare plants for difficult winter conditions that in the next season the garden pleased with harvest and beauty.
Fruit-trees and bushes
- at the end of October when the main part of leaves has flown, do processing from wreckers and diseases by urea solution (carbamide). This nitrogen fertilizer is well dissolved even in cold water. Prepare 5-7% solution (500-700 g on 10 l of water) and spray branches, especially tops where the plant louse, branches, trunks and pristvolny circles at plants winters. It is better to carry out processing to windless dry weather.
- to introduce mineral fertilizers at the end of the month rather late, but the Ava fertilizer can be used, it has ""long-playing"" property and is not washed away by rains and melt water.
- everyone decides to dig over pristvolny circles under trees. Today is controversial issue. But in the presence of humus (compost), it is better to use it late fall when the sokodvizheniye comes to an end. It will serve as additional power supply in the early spring. The organic chemistry is brought on krone perimeter, exactly there are inhausting roots of trees. Also on frost introduce organic fertilizers under bushes.
- under stone cultures, and it is cherries, sweet cherries, plums, cherry plum, surely bring ashes, or dolomitka (lime powder). Calcium is necessary for forming of fruits and trees will be more resistant to diseases. And also ashes are necessary also for all berry bushes, it contains necessary microelements, potassium and reduces acidity of the soil.
- at long dry weather it is necessary to make moisture charging watering in garden of all plantings. The lack of moisture of the earth is podmerzaniye of roots at plants, especially it is necessary to water young landings.
- all fruit need protection against spring burns. Therefore it is necessary to whitewash trunks late fall, and even skeletal branches.
- at approach of steady cold weather it is also necessary to take care of protection against rodents who can damage bark at trees.
Decorative and flower cultures
- we remove clematises from support, we cut off and we use lashes as the shelter, we stack on the earth.
- we cut off peonies, irises, delphiniums, daylilies, lilies, phloxes and other long-term, we bring under roots humus which will serve as both the shelter, and power supply in the spring.
- we prepare roses for wintering gradually. We cut off, we hill. At approach of steady low temperatures (-5 - 7 wasps) we put shelters.
- we cover rhododendrons with thick layer of coniferous debris. Young landings also should be covered completely, using ukryvny material.
- panicled, treelike hydrangeas well winter at snow availability. But it is better to hill, cover young landings with leaves, peat, forest coniferous laying. Cutting can be carried out both in the fall, and in the early spring.
- coniferous plants from solar spring burns and snow blockages obvorachivat white ukryvny material. Large copies connect by ropes from breakage of branches in winter time.
