By cultivating vegetables, we put a lot of effort in making them spend abundant crops. Sometimes, however, one storm or downpour is enough for our efforts to be destroyed, and not too much. Fortunately, they can be properly secured, so they will have a better chance of survival.
The vegetable garden may suffer seriously during the clash with the forces of nature. Most often there is mechanical damage to plants, such as crouched leaves or broken stems. It also happens that downpours can crush young cuttings, and the strong wind destroys shortbread plants, leading to their complete dying. Hail and gusty air gusts also affect the damage to crops and mutilation, which makes them more susceptible to various types of diseases.
In addition, heavy rainfall and storms can lead to flooding. As a result, the roots of vegetables, which are immersed in water for a long time, begin to rot. Another problem is soil erosion, because the Earth is not able to absorb violent rainfall, so there is a washing of the top, fertile layer of soil, which results in taking valuable nutrients.
This problem applies to most plants. However, nVegetable vegetables, high and climbing plants, as well as young cuttings are the most vulnerable to damage.
Therefore, seeing in the weather forecast that strong downpours and storms are announced, we must protect our plants in the vegetable garden so that they do not suffer. The basis is to cover specimens. This is the simplest method of protection.
Using agrotextile We wrap delicate plants and attach the material to the ground so that it is a barrier for specimens before the wind and strong rain. We can also invest in Miniszklarno, plastic tunnels or lampshades, which we will get in most garden stores and will help us protect individual vegetables or whole beds. They will also prevent excessive moisture.
It is also worth doing an additional Palling, rolling and supporting plants. This is a method that will allow us to save them from adverse weather. In particular, she will need additional support Paprika, peas, sunflower, corn and tomatoes.

A good idea is to consider solutions before the next season that will allow us to secure our beds in. So we can mount wind barriers that work well during strong storms and gusty winds. Not only mesh barriers will work, but also natural ones, e.g. hedges. Remember, however, that they do not shade the flower beds.
Let’s not forget about Fr. mulching, which is extremely helpful not only during dried. To create litter, we can use e.g. straw or wood bark.
It is also worth using drainage and creating elevated flower beds. This will protect our vegetables from the effects of heavy rainfall. Thanks to these methods, water will not accumulate in a given area, and the increase in the flower beds will also cause that there is no water stasis or flooding.
