How to tie up trees for the winter: 5 cheap options for summer residents and gardeners
Winter is approaching, and one of the most pressing issues is protecting plants from the cold.
It is important to remember that trees on the site are threatened not only by frost, but also by wild animals.
Let's figure out what materials can be used to tie up the trunks of perennials.
How to tie trees for the winter
One of the best options is considered to be spruce branches. Spruce and pine branches provide air circulation and at the same time perfectly protect tree trunks.
The second option is brushwood. You can find it in abundance in the nearest forest or use the branches that remain after pruning trees.
Burlap is an option for those who want to reliably protect tree trunks from possible sunburn. If you also treat it with tar, you can forget about rodents.
There is no need to get rid of old nylon tights - they can still serve as a covering material for trees.
If you want to use the covering material year after year, then you will have to spend a little. An economical option is to use spunbond and other non-woven materials that are breathable and durable.
