Поливать ли растения перед заморозками? Решают корни

🌱 Frost is coming tonight. Should you water your garden first, cover your plants, or both? In this video, we break down what actually works for protecting your garden from a freeze, based on guidance from University of California IPM, University of Georgia Extension, and Colorado State University Extension. 💧 The short answer: dry soil loses a small but real advantage before a calm, clear frost night. Moist soil stores more daytime heat and releases it overnight. But more water is not always better, and a windy advective freeze plays by different rules entirely. In this video you'll learn: ✅ Why watering dry soil 2 to 3 days before a radiational frost can help ✅ The difference between a radiational frost and an advective freeze ✅ How to use frost cloth or a bed sheet the right way, reaching the ground and never resting plastic on foliage ✅ Why spraying leaves with a hose is not the same as commercial sprinkler protection ✅ How to protect containers, tender annuals, and fruit blossoms ✅ What to do (and what NOT to do) the morning after a frost ✅ How microclimates change the plan for every yard ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Why dry soil loses its frost advantage 1:29 Radiational frost vs. advective freeze: read the weather first 3:21 How covers work and how to use them correctly 12:45 Four cases that make the decision clear 14:07 Your simple evening frost routine 🔔 Did this help you save your garden?
