Did you know?
❄️The impact of snow on crops and plants varies depending on factors like the type of crop, snow depth, duration of snow cover, and temperature.
While snow can provide insulation against extreme cold and frost, it also poses challenges:
✔️ Heavy snow can compress soil, hindering root access to water and nutrients.
✔️ Melting snow can lead to excessive moisture, potentially causing root rot or other water-related issues.
Here are some solutions to keep your plants flourishing despite the snow:
✅Implement snow management strategies like snow fences or covers to control accumulation. Also, consider implementing raised beds or mulching to mitigate compaction.
✅Ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, and consider selecting cold-hardy crops or varieties that can withstand snow conditions.
