The Horrors of Hail
|
| Tuesday, December 23, 2008 |
One of the most dangerous things that can happen to your plants is
weather. More than a garden was demolished during the night because of this
phenomenon. And apparently, there is nothing we can do to prevent it. Of
Of course, if the weather does not at all then we would not have those Nice
sunny days that are beneficial to the growth of our plants. But then
Again, we would not hail storms that tragic disassemble
we worked for hours to grow.
When the rain starts to fall, generally the first reaction in a gardener is a pure
joy. After all, it means you do not have to worry about out and
watering manually. The natural rainfall can not be anything but good for
all your thirsty plants, can he? Although even after gardener starts
see the beautiful raindrops turn into small balls of ice, usually a
complete emotional breakdown is in order. I know this from experience,
because when I was a flower gardener, I had my garden completely
demolished by about 10 minutes of severe hail.
The first time I learned my lesson on the damage hail can do, I quickly
developed a method to cope. I began to keep large clay pots within 10 feet
my garden, so that at any sign of hail I could run outside and have the
plants in the shelter a matter of seconds. That saved me from being forced
watching my plants be torn into pieces on several occasions. I never
treated with hail more than an inch in diameter, but I guess that if
there has been any baseball size, these pieces of pots was
quickly demolished.
However, as the number of fragile plants in my garden grew, it became
impractical to have a pot for each plant, and to carry out
each place before substantial damage had already occurred. After much
thought, I ended up building a horizontal screen retractable mechanism
made a strong but flexible wire mesh. At any sign of rain I could
Pull the screen on my garden and have instant protection. Not
only he left through rain, hail, but collected regularly provided
the drop of water provided as a day later. This project cost me
several hundred dollars, and more blood, sweat and tears that can be
measured with earth dollars. Therefore, I would not recommend it to everyone.
If it is too late for you, and you recently lost your precious plants
the wicked balls of ice, then you're probably looking for any way
help recover the plants. Unfortunately there is not much choice for you.
The best thing you can do is give them the tender care they deserve, and
attempt to nurse them back to health over a long period of time. The
several weeks after being severely damaged by hail are essential to whether
the plant survives or not. If you expect more rain or wind, you should
keep the plant covered. In this fragile, even the drops of rain or strong
breeze could cause more damage.
So if you live in an area that experiences often hail, you should
some have certainly plan to protect your plants. By meeting
and watching them be ripped to shreds should never be an option! |
