Unusually warm winter weather often poses a danger to the garden.

This can lead to bud swelling in mid-winter.

Let's figure out how to deal with this scourge and what preventive measures exist.

Prevention

Let's start with the fact that, as in the case of diseases, it is better to prevent a problem than to treat it.

Therefore, do not neglect three important tasks in the garden that are carried out in the fall.

Firstly, trees must be whitewashed to protect them from pests and prevent trunks from overheating. White helps reflect the sun's rays.

Secondly, the trees in the garden need moisture-charging watering. This measure will provide the plants with moisture until spring.

Thirdly, plants need mulch. After you have watered, placing covering material around the tree trunks will help retain moisture in the soil.

If the buds do swell in winter, it is important to remember that woody plants have renewal buds. The main thing you need to do in the spring is to carefully inspect all the branches and remove all dried and frozen ones from the trees.

After this, it is necessary to add fertilizers containing nitrogen. Urea, bird droppings, ammonium nitrate or compost are good options.
