There are empty spaces in the ground, thanks to which the plants breathe. Unfortunately, they were flooded before the last rains, which is why the specimens are now undergoing real torture. Due to the lack of air, their leaves begin to turn yellow and wither, the roots can rot. Even if we do not see puddles, on clay ground water soaked in and floods flowers. Check how to prevent a garden disaster.
After At the beginning you need to get rid of water stasis from the garden. In muddy soil, we make holes with a metal rod or shovel. In this way, the watering water will flow deep into the soil.
Then we dig the surface of the beds to aerate the soil. You should do it gently. Otherwise, the roots of specimens will be damaged.
In the next step, we must properly take care of the plants and restore their former condition. For this purpose We get rid of rotten leaves and shootsincreasing the risk of developing fungal diseases. We also remove completely damaged specimens.
We also need to sprinkle vegetation with fresh soil to improve the structure of the substrate. This is especially true for specimens with exposed roots.
We also recommend their supply in nutrients that will help in regeneration. I am talking about light fertilizers, e.g. biohumus.

Some of the heavy rains begin to cover the flooded surfaces with bark or dry soil, which is a huge mistake. Why?
Well, by applying subsequent, even dry layers, we create a barrier that prevents water from evaporating. Therefore, we are still dealing with the problem of excessive moisture. As a result, we extend the regeneration time of specimens.
It is also better not to stand on the wet earth. Walking on it, we bring her thickening and hinder the breathing of plant roots.
The garden is flooded after heavy rainfall due to too compact or clay soil. Both in both cases, you should take care of better soil permeability, adding sand, expanded clay or compost to it.
In places where water stagnation is formed, We recommend lifting discounts or underground drainage. It is nothing but a network of drains laid in ditches filled with sand or expanded clay. They collect excess water, which then goes to the collectors, and finally to special tanks.
