But in this situation you can not search for a solution to the issue, because it has long been. Any old stump can be used as decorations at the site, which is called rotaries. If you apply a little imagination, from the stumps to be not only single pieces, but whole composition.

But you don't need to arrange for disposal of the wood, because it can happen right in the country, but in different ways and benefit.

• Old branches go for firewood for the fireplace or can be used in the grill and oven-barbecue for cooking;
• From medium and small branches would make a good fertilizer when they decompose in the compost heap;
• Often the branches are performing and decorative tasks, when they become separate shapes, or as in the case of Rotarian, composition for landscape decoration;
• Also, smoother branches are used to fence in the backyard, for example, for separating the main yard from the business. Certain types of wood get even a good wicker fences, which are called simply - a wooden fence;
• To engage in wood processing in the country, choosing the raw materials from trees of the old garden is not the best idea, but some branches or logs can become a piece of decorative country furniture, stands and pillars, elements of certain economic structures;
• Do not forget that the smaller branches easily kill garden shredder and go for mulching the soil in the garden and flower beds.

The use of sawdustSawdust are not vegetable waste in cutting or uprooting, but there is so even after sawing work. If you have a garage or shed, there is a special woodworking equipment, then using a different wood in the country, you get sawdust. Many of them will remain after cutting the old fruit garden, which we have already pitched on the stumps, twigs and bark.

The use of sawdust can be very wide, but we will mention only those areas where we benefit the most.

• First of all, sawdust is good mulch, not only in the garden or in the garden, but also for decorative and even house plants;
• Sawdust is an excellent insulator. It is clear that for insulation, ceiling or floor of the country house in the barn they will need a lot, but this idea is still worth to remember;

What good are dead leaves?About the benefits of fallen leaves has long been known, and only an inexperienced vacationer may collect them on the heap and simply to burn, forcing the neighbours to breathe in acrid smoke from a fire. We decided to tell you how to most effectively use the fallen leaves in the country:

• Leaf mold is a great fertilizer, which helps to structure the soil;
• The mixture of fallen leaves and weeds without roots and seeds that rot in a plastic bag — a substrate for early plantings and house plants;
• The leaves can also be a cover of soil. Warmed, with the exception of weathering and leaching, and the moisture;
• Suitable leaves and for the preparation of quality compost, if you add them in properly constructed pit in a small amount;
• Large leaves with dense structure applied for covering for the winter many of the plants and flowers in the flowerbeds.

There are additional applications of the leaves, but they are all associated with fertilizers or harboring soil. One shouldn't use walnut leaves, as according to the observations of many gardeners, due to the content in them juglone, they can have a negative impact.

Although there is a moot point, because walnut leaf helps to keep some plants warm by eliminating the appearance of fungus and mold.How to use a stalk of corn?The cultivation of maize in the country is interesting not for everyone, and even those who planted this plant in the summer garden, making it for different purposes.

Many people like boiled young corn on the cob, you can chew just with salt or add to salads. But a lot of people grow corn to feed the birds and other garden wildlife. Therefore, it is worth noting that harvested at different times and, therefore, plant residues of corn will be in a different state.

Green corn stalk perfectly suited for the production of feed for livestock, so you just throw them not worth it. From the stems you can even prepare a great winter fertilizer, which is called silage. But I have to say that few gardeners engaged in such business, and green mass for this you need quite a lot.

But it also happens that the corn stalks standing until the autumn, and even completely dry up in the garden. It does not matter, and they should not slash and burn, because the dense structure of dry stalk makes it quite durable. Because of this, the corn stalk becomes material for the construction of temporary fencing on the economic court, or even material for garden paths in the cold autumn weather, when underfoot is damp and dirty.

Excellent stalks and serve as a covering material for berry bushes, in litter in a compost heap, as well as for wrapping young trees in the garden. Even summer visitors, the old-timers say that if you tightly in several rows folded corn stalks in the garden, the earth in this place practically does not freeze, and this place is most suitable for early planting.

Straw in the summer garden,the Straw can be safely regarded as plant residues, because it is the stem of cereal plants which we in the first place, you only need the grain. But few grown in the country's culture that give a straw, except that rye for green manure. But here straw we will not see, because the green manure used in full capacity after mowing.

But straw in the country is not only necessary but even essential. There are many tips related to straw, through which crops grow much better than before.

It is clear that the straw can be used for animal feed and bedding for the drainage of certain areas and to shelter the plants, but is most frequently straw is used in the following cases:

• The creation of the surface layer, something like a substrate through which grows well almost everything. Thus soil moisture does not go away, the temperature is stable, weed through it almost didn't make it. And also under the straw is put the many beneficial worms, which is responsible for loosening the soil;
• The lower layers of straw in the beds become additional fertilizer that is also a huge plus;
• Good straw for growing potatoes. It is the best material for raised beds, which now will be a good harvest, and the earth will become very soft by the time of collection;
• Suitable straw and for warming the beds with plants, but you need to ensure that it is not too trample down, otherwise the straw may start podpevat, and it's not very good.

Leaf mold is a great fertilizer, which helps to structure the soil

The stems of the sunflower and Jerusalem artichoke, Many are trying to get rid of Jerusalem artichoke, as the plant grows too fast dacha. But there are from him and many advantages, as, in principle, and sunflowers. About the beneficial properties or taste, we will not talk, but only to confirm that the use of dry stems of these plants can be exactly the same as dry corn stalks.

In the country it is possible to benefit very much, and even crop residues. In the course are the roots, bark and leaves of trees, and stalks of plants, straw and even dried flowers from which it is possible to cook jam, tea and some medicines. So do not rush to throw away something that has already given the crop, because any plant can still serve you, even if it was killed and dried up.
