It seems that only children like to dig in the mud. But some adults also have to do this. I'm talking about gardeners who are forced to work in the beds in any weather. If it rained the day before, it will be extremely difficult to wash off the dirt. This problem is especially acute in autumn, when precipitation falls almost daily.
If the dirt remained only on clothes and body, it is not so bad. But she also gets into the house: on the veranda, in the corridor and even in the rooms.
Are there any effective ways to deal with this problem? Is it possible not to bring dirt from the garden to the house? Yes, there is a solution to the problem! And today I will share a few secrets that, for sure, it will be useful for you to know.
1. When entering the house, do not forget to take off your shoes
Sounds logical, but I'll explain. Surely, you take off your dirty boots and put on your slippers near the entrance. I will not call this option convenient. If you leave your slippers outside the house, they can get caught in the rain, freeze in cold weather, etc. This option is suitable for warm and dry weather.
2. Grass in the middle of the vegetable garden
But not in the beds, but on the paths. This is my favorite option. You need to sow the paths between the beds with grass. It turns out nicely and neatly. Don't forget to cut the grass that grows pretty quickly. By the way, the paths must be below the beds, otherwise the weeds will interfere with the plants.
3. Do not forget to clean the sole of the dirt
So we got to the simplest, but most convenient option. Install "cleaners" near the porch of the house, with the help of which it will be possible to clean the dirt from the soles.
You can buy them at the store. Those who are not looking for easy ways can build "cleaners" with their own hands. Here are some tips:
- 1. When installing the "cleaner" on the lawn, make sure that there is a container under it to collect dirt. If not, get ready to periodically clean your lawn.
- 2. If there is no suitable container, lift the scrubber higher above the lawn. At the same time, falling dirt will not interfere, you will not have to remove it every time.
- 3. To increase the efficiency of cleaning the soles, set the handles to the "cleaner". This way you will have a fulcrum and will not lose your balance.
- 4. For soles with deep tread, it is advisable to additionally install brushes.
- 5. To clean shoes from all sides, you can build a device as in the photo below.
Let's not forget about the grids for cleaning the soles. This is one of the simplest but most effective methods. The main thing is to periodically clean loose dirt from under the grates.
