Spring frost, which damages the flowers of fruit trees and destroys future crops, is a scarecrow since time immemorial. We can not do much against the distinctive frosts of the weather, but it is often possible to protect at least part of the beloved plants. There are several ways.
If the soil is at least a little warm, you can capture and use its heat. Flowering strawberries, shrubs and small trees before the arrival of a freezing evening are simply hidden in a tent of a non -woven white fabric. The temperature can remain a few degrees higher than outdoors. Let the textiles, preferably in multiple layers, blend to the ground and here to anchor it firmly and seal, by renovation of soil, mulch, stones or wood. You can still rape the effect if you place stones, bottles of water or black foil under the tree on a sunny day.
Similarly, non -woven white fabrics will also serve to protect young sowing. It does not matter if freezík creates a thin ice crust – this creates another insulating layer. You can leave the textiles during the day on germinating sowing and growing vegetable seedlings, but do not forget to uncover the flowering strawberries so that bumblebees or bees are pollinating.

Another method of flower protection isDew – the aim is to cover flowers and buds with a thin layer of icing, which protects them from deeper freezing. The finer fog the hose attachment, the better. While the textile is desirable to prepare everything in advance, you have to timing for the moment when it begins to freeze.
Counterage candle
Instead of traditional smoke, fire can now be used in a more considerate way. Special anti -line candles, sheet metal containers filled with paraffin and with wick, last at least 8 hours. Place them under the crown, one for a small tree is enough. But do not put it close to the trunk. Candles can also be placed among shrubs, but use the effect of rising heat is the most advantageous. If the somewhat unusual wick fails, the burner, candle or a handful of dry twigs will help. If the need for heating passes, the candles are extinguished by snaping the lid and serving again. An ordinary candle in Lucerna can also help to some extent, and it is very helpful in the greenhouse.
