Summer starts with cleaning
Even the most well-groomed garden in the beginning of spring looks depressingly: the covering material protecting the soil, squinted under the weight of snow and moisture, last year's foliage turned into a pile of debris and began to rot, and under the trees fallen fallen branchesand a windbreak. Not only that garbage collected over the winter looks extremely aesthetic, it also has a negative effect on the soil state. Therefore, the very first work at the dacha in the spring should begin with a general cleaning.
As soon as the first snow comes and the temperature stabilizes a little, collect the covering material, clean it and hide until the next frost. Note that if the spring has not yet fully entered its rights and the tree branches are covered with snow or ice crust, it should be removed, otherwise because of excess gravity, the branches may crack.

However, do not burn last year's foliage, because it can harm your health and the health of others. Experienced gardeners use winter garbage to create compost, pouring the remains of foliage into a special container or pit.
With the advent of spring, the first weeds wake up. If the shoots of the enemies of garden crops have already appeared through the soil, remove them right now, otherwise a week later the grass will grow significantly. In addition, in mild and humid places, for example, under rocks, containers, etc., moss is often formed, which also adversely affects plants. It is convenient to remove the brush with a brush or a strong stream of water.
In addition, when cleaning in a garden plot in the spring, check the integrity of all pots and vases, then treat them with herbicides. If some tanks were used for wintering perennials, replace them with soil. Also add additional soil to the flower beds and flower gardens.

Spring in the suburban area: preparing the soil
One of the most important stages of spring works on the backyard is tillage. As soon as the snow completely melts and the earth ceases to adhere to the shovel, the soil needs to be dug in order to remove from the soil the roots of weeds and larvae of pests.
Also in the spring it is necessary to fertilize the soil to ensure a good harvest. As a subcategory, it is recommended to use universal fertilizers, which contain nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
As in the spring time there are sharp fluctuations in the temperature regime, the soil around shrubs, trees and perennials should be mulched. This will protect the root systems of plants from the cold and hide them from the scorching sun. To create mulch, it is better to use fresh humus or compost.
In addition, pay attention to the strength of the soil. In too heavy soil, water stagnation occurs at the roots of plants. To improve the quality of the land, in this case it is recommended to add large gravel or fine sand to it. If the soil is too loose, along with fertilizers, add clay or clay soil to it, otherwise nutrients and moisture will penetrate deep into the soil.
After preparing the soil, pay attention to spring works on the lawn. With the first thaw, remove the remnants of snow and ice from the lawn, allowing air to reach the grass. Because of the harmless at first glance, the remains of ice crusts, through time on the lawn are formed ugly bald spots.

However, any work on pruning should be carried out before the beginning of the growing season.
If you plan to plant young seedlings, you need to do it right after the snow has come together. But keep in mind that the planting should be done before the buds are not formed on the seedlings.
Also after the convergence of snow it is recommended to cut and tie the bushes. If your area is dominated by sunny days, darken the non-woven material with evergreen shrubs.
In addition, when caring for trees and shrubs, pay attention to bonded dry leaves. Often, such leaves are nests of dangerous pests. To protect the health of plants, collect dry leaves and burn them.
