Good afternoon, my reader. Autumn is a hot season for gardeners and gardeners, and often many little things remain unfulfilled. Before the onset of the winter cold, it is worthwhile to look around again, put things in order and remove the tools and materials necessary for the household from under the already falling snow.

1. Watering cans and other plastic containers
Such dishes, left in the open air, can crumble during the winter season or become very fragile under the influence of ultraviolet rays, which reduces the shelf life.
All plastic utensils should be removed to a dark utility room. It is taken into account that such containers can be kept in a polycarbonate greenhouse while the coating is still new. During operation, the protective layer gradually becomes less reliable and does not save the things inside from the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation.
2. Fertilizers, chemicals, varnishes and varnishes
All materials that, in accordance with the instructions, should not be kept at sub-zero temperatures, are collected, hermetically sealed and sent to a warm room. They can be used again next season.
3. Hoses
After the end of the irrigation season, even before the first frost, water is drained from all hoses. They are carefully wound into the bay without fractures and hung on hooks driven into the walls of the storage shed. Coiled hoses can be placed in a plastic barrel to save space.
4. Barrels
Be sure to check all barrels in the garden, plastic or metal, and drain the water from them before frost. This is important because the remaining liquid can cause serious damage to the containers when frozen. It is advisable to put plastic barrels in a barn.
5. Summer water pipes
If the country house is used only in the summer and is not heated, then water is certainly drained from the water pipes, as well as from the pump, boiler installations, toilet cistern and other containers. You can pour an anti-freeze liquid into the knee of the toilet to keep it from bursting in severe frosts.
6. Cranes
We recommend removing all the taps, as even the most durable products can burst in severe frost. They are dried and removed to the utility room. Only cone valves may be left on.
7. Garden tools
Collect forks, shovels, hoes, rakes and other types of tools, especially those that are equipped with wooden cuttings that quickly deform under the influence of moisture.
They need to be cleaned of soil particles and placed in a shed or under a shed to protect not only the wood from destruction, but also metal parts from rust.
8. Decorative reservoir
If there is a decorative pond on the territory of the garden, then in the fall several wooden chocks or logs are placed in it. You can replace them with plastic bottles, which are up to half their volume filled with water and hermetically sealed with corks.
9. Locks
To ensure the reliable functioning of the locks, their internal and external surfaces are treated with grease (preference is given to the silicone variety). Without carrying out such a procedure, problems may arise when opening the locks, since they are capable of rusting until spring, and ice in winter.
10. Electric tools
Do not leave valuable power tools in a barn or in an unheated country house for the winter. It is advisable to transport them to the apartment, which will also save things from possible loss.
11. Gas powered tools
Large-sized saws, trimmers, lawn mowers equipped with two-stroke gasoline engines usually stay in the country. Be sure to drain gasoline and oil from them, which precipitates during a long break in work.
These simple, but important things must be done in the autumn period even before severe frosts, which will save many things from damage.
