Summer has arrived and with it comes different chores Cheap Harry Wilson Jersey , and one such is protecting your home garden plants from summer heat. With rise in temperature, it becomes very hard for the plants to survive. Just like how we take extra precautions to stay cool and protected during summers, plants also need some special care.
In this article, we will discuss on how to take proper care and protect your plants at home so that they can survive the heat. Let’s take a look.
Protect soil from drying-up – Do mulching Soil in the pots is the only medium which can hold and supply water for the plants. During summers, plants need more water than usual. As continuous supply of water is not possible all the time, if we can Cheap Georginio Wijnaldum Jersey , at least, protect the soil from drying-up, it helps the plant get required amount of water.
Protecting soil from drying up can be done by applying mulch. Mulch is a layer of material used to cover top layer of the soil. This layer prevents the water from evaporation and thus conserves moisture.
A mulch material could be organic and inorganic. Organic mulch includes natural materials such as plant bark, pine needles, straw, grass clippings Cheap Emre Can Jersey , compost, wood chips, leaves, paper, etc. Inorganic mulch includes gravel, stones Cheap Dominic Solanke Jersey , plastic nuggets, landscape fabrics and the like. It is however better to use organic materials as they add nutrients to the soil.聽Mulched plants are healthier, weed-free and drought resistant compared to normal plants.
Protect plants from direct heat – Provide shade Few plants can withstand extreme heat, but some cannot. Such plants should be protected from direct sun heat and light. Trees like Adavi Ganneru, Mango and Guava do not need protection from sun light. Try to place your heat sensitive plants under these plants to provide partial protection. You can also move the plants to the shady areas in your house.
If you don’t have shady areas, you can provide temporary protection using green shade cloths. Install a shade cloth 6-8 feet above the plants with the help of sticks. The cloth protects the plants from getting burnt by cutting down the sun’s intensity Cheap Divock Origi Jersey , by creating cool and shadier environment.
You can also do it for individual plants. Just insert a long stick in the centre of the plant and tie the shade cloth around in a form of a conical cap. You just need to sprinkle some water on the cloth to give enough moisture to the plant.
Water plants at regular intervals Just like how we tend to take more water and fluids in summer, plants do need more water. Based on the outside temperature you need to plan your water schedule. Instead of pouring lot of water at a time or twice, better to give limited water every 2-3 hours or whenever the soil gets dried up. Also sprinkle some water on the leaves to reduce the heat.
These techniques will help you protect your plants during summer. Enough care and observation is essential to ensure plants are safe and healthy. ---

Copy and Paste Link Code: From the first day of life on a leash, most dogs learn that by pulling on it, they get to where they want faster. Its the behavior that so many dog owners struggle with. Its a simple solution - just stop walking. Although Cheap Dejan Lovren Jersey , somehow your dog doesn't learn its just that simple. Or maybe we aren't teaching it effectively enough. Or say, you have taught your dog that, except when they want to sniff the fire hydrant, or meet your neighbors dog, or chase a squirrel.
I have decided as an owner, that the only way to walk my dogs is by using either a gentle leader or a gentle leader easy walk harness. I still enforce the rules - the dog pulls Cheap Danny Ward Jersey , I stop. The dog pays attention and walks with me, I move forward and often give treats and praise for doing so.
The reason I use and recommend these two items is simple, prevention and safety. If the dog does pull, they don't continue to go forward, they are instead turned around and facing me again. It helps me stay consistent.
The Gentle Leader is a great tool. The fit is a bit tricky and most dogs fight it when they get it on - EW something is on my FACE! Ignore it. If you just keep going, stay happy and reinforce them not pawing at it Cheap Danny Ings Jersey , it will go away. Some have argued that the Gentle Leader can cause damage to their head back. I think this is only true if the dog is running and you snap the leash. Do not use the tool this way. I prefer a shorter leash and never yank or pull the leash. Instead, just stop, so their head is guided, not forced back around.
The tool I recommend and use is the Gentle Leader Easy Walk Harness. Its an easy fit, the dog doesn't mind it, and it works really well. There is no issue of the dog escaping Cheap Daniel Sturridge Jersey , and no damage since you are controling the body.
