How I got rid of lichen and moss on fruit trees. The method that my old neighbor told me Really helped
I have owned the dacha for a long time, but in view of my strong employment, I rarely visited it. But this year I became more free, so I decided that I would spend this summer season at the dacha. When I arrived there, I was very surprised.
After my long absence, the trees were covered with moss and lichens. I was very upset, because I hoped so much that these trees would please me with the harvest. And so already I was visited by the fear that they could die altogether.
I called a friend who has been studying plants for many years and told them about my fears. He told me that mosses and lichens do not suck sap from trees, but they are still harmful. First, they close the pores on the bark of trees.
And secondly, they create a very favorable environment for bacteria, which can also be detrimental to plants. He also told me that it was necessary to take timely measures and prevent such a strong spread of mosses and lichens.
In frustrated feelings, armed with a knife and a brush, I began to try to remove mosses and lichens mechanically. Seeing my futile efforts, an old woman, a neighbor, turned to me.
She advised me her own way that might help solve my problem. I had no reason not to trust her. After all, her experience is solid, and the plot is very good. All trees are healthy and beautiful. And, indeed, this method helped me a lot. Now I am sharing it with you.
