Thanks for fine councils, the Charm are a well of knowledge!

In November, especially in the beginning of month, rather warm and dry days are still possible. In the end of a month on all territory of Ukraine there can be small, but steady frosts. And that, and other weather promote clearing of a garden from going to winter wreckers and accumulated on trees, in the fallen down foliage and parts of soil of activators of illnesses.

Insects winter in a stage of egg, a larva, a doll, and even adult individuals (имаго). Careful "mums" of a-female, following call of an instinct of continuation of a sort, suit "children" in deepenings and cracks on trunks and large branches of trees, on the fallen down leaves and the top layers of earth of a radical zone. Many wreckers suited refuges for the posterity on подпорах trees and ловчих belts.

Activators парши pears and apple-trees, антракноза a gooseberry and a currant, various пятнистостей winter in the fallen down leaves and in the top layers of earth.

Some gardeners have an opinion, that leaves should be left in a garden. Say they protect roots of trees from frosts. Supporters of organic agriculture consider possible to destroy the pathogenic beginnings in компостных heaps - ostensibly is short-time rise in temperature in them to 50-60о kills microbes. But after all such temperature is possible only in the heap centre, and a bottom and edges remain cold, and there till the spring any microscopic evil spirits will quite keep the ability to live. If at you trees are ill from year to year паршой, mealy dew, коккомикозом, kljastero-sporiozom, leaves of such trees should be burnt. And to do it is better in the autumn. Fire, this universal antiseptics, transforms any infection into ashes. During same time, for the present snow has not covered a garden, it is possible to put things in order also on trunks and skeletal branches of trees. An old exfoliating bark to clean off a rigid brush or a special scraper. The cleared places, and in general all skeleton of a tree to miss the mark 6-8 percents with a solution (600-800 г on 10 l of water) iron купороса. Приствольные circles and space between trees dig over on depth of a bayonet shovel, not breaking clods. The soil thus will well be chilled, and in it many illnesses and wreckers can be lost. The big harmful reservation of illnesses and wreckers can become мумифицированные fruits. By time of an exit of this number leaves on fruit-trees will already fall down, and against the autumn sky, especially in solar clear weather, are well visible strongly kept ссохшиеся fruits. On them in incalculable quantity disputes of fruit decay have accumulated. Such fruits should be removed and burnt immediately. Except them, it is possible to see also braided by a web, nests fluttering on a wind with caterpillars златогузки and боярышницы; on twigs annual приростов - rings of an annulate silkworm.
