Good afternoon, my reader. The root root system is 20 cm from the surface, which makes it vulnerable to freezers and frosts. The mulching of the roots not only protects them, but also holds moisture in the soil, and improves air exchange. The shelter of the roots can be carried out in the fall and in spring. The main thing to carry out the entire procedure is true and choose suitable materials.

The shelter of the root system in the fall allows you to protect against sudden drops of temperature and severe frosts. In the absence of snow cover, this measure is the best way to protect the Malinnik.
- Sawdust. Flood up to 12 cm. After a couple of years, turns into humus, which will provide the Malinnik with additional meals.
- Peat. Ideal for raspberry. A 7 cm layer is enough to protect the root system. Unique in that it can be put on top of the first snow.
- Straw. It will require time costs, as it is stacked around each bush.
- Last foliage. Use as a mulch is permissible only with rewind foliage. The base of the bushes fall asleep with a uniform layer, a height of at least 5 cm.
- Compost. Contains a lot of nitrogen and for this reason the least suitable for the shelter of the root root system. It is necessary to use it in exceptional cases, layer less than 5 cm.
From inorganic materials as a mulch use black spunbond. A 40 cm wide cut on a strip, it fits on both sides of a row of raspberry and is fixed with brackets. An additional bonus will perform a complete absence of weeds that will not be able to germinate through spunbond in the spring.

Spring mulching will protect the roots from suddenly returned frosts, and with the arrival of hot days will not give moisture to evaporate from the soil. After making the first mineral feeding, so that nutrients freely reached roots.
It is recommended to use the following materials:
- Manure with straw. Laying a layer to 8 cm. Not only feeds, but also warms the root system in the process of its decomposition.
- Sunflower husk. It has a weak density, but not paveled by the winds. A layer of 5 cm thick will protect the roots from frost and overheating.
- Chips and small branches. It is recommended to submit only in overwhelming. The thickness of the layer of such a mulch must reach 10 cm.
- Old newspapers. Newspaper sheets laid in 4 layers and raised land will not only protect the root system, but also will not miss the weed herbs. Sharing, will provide an additional food with Malinnik, increase its yield.
- Hay. Not the most successful selection of mulch. The weed seeds remaining in Seine, in the spring period actively germinate and deprive the liner moisture and nutrients.
- Peat and sawdust apply the same as with autumn mulching.

From inorganic materials in spring use Loutrasil. Shelter bushes, as well as spunbond.
