The gardener gave advice on preparing the cottage for winter

Andrey Tumanov, Chairman of the Moscow Horticultural Union, told how to prepare a cottage for winter in stages.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Wednesday, October 1, the expert noted that the main winter threats to the cottage are burst pipes due to frozen water, plant diseases from debris and the risk of not getting into the house due to locks covered with ice.

Tumanov noted that before winter it is important to drain the water from the pipes, otherwise they may burst. You also need to prepare inventory and firewood: the shovel should be in plain sight, and the firewood should be kept dry in the house. It is better to pre-lubricate the locks so that the water in them does not freeze.

According to him, even in winter, the cottage requires attention, so you should come periodically and fix minor problems, writes RT.
