Your Garden And Hail :

One of the most hazardous things that happen to your pla is weather. Many a den has been demolished overnight because of this pomenon. And seemingly, there is nothing we do to prnt it. Of course, if weather didn't exist at t we wdn't have those nice sunny days that are beneficial to the growth of our pla. But t ag, we wdn't have the tragic hstorms that tear down rything we've worked so many hours to grow.

W r starts to f, usuy the first reaction in a dener is pure joy. After , this means you don't have to worry about going out watering it manuy. The natural r f 't be anything but good your thirsty pla, it? Well once that same dener starts to see the gorgeous r drops turn into sm globules of ice, usuy a complete emotional breakdown is in order. I know this from experience, because w I was a blooming dener I had my den completely demolished by about 10 minutes of sre h.

W I first learned my lesson on the damage h do, I quickly devised a method of coping. I began to keep large clay pots within 10 feet of my den, so that at any sign of h I cd run outside have the pla sheltered in a matter of seconds. This saved me from being ced to watch my pla be ripped to pieces on multiple occasions. I've nr dealt with h more than an inch in diameter, but I'm guessing that if there had been any baseb sized chunks t those pots wd have been quickly demolished.

Howr, as the number of fragile pla in my den grew, it became slightly impractical to have a pot each plant, run outside to place each one bee signifit damage had already occurred. After much thought, I ended up building a horizontal, retractable screen mechanism made out of a strong but flexible wire mesh. At any sign of r I cd pull the screen out over my entire den have instant protection. Not only did it let the r through, but the collected h provided a steady drip of water as much as a day afterwards. This project cost me sral hundred dollars, more blood, sweat, tears than be measured with earth dollars. Theree I wdn't recommend it to ryone. If it's too late you, you've recently lost your precious pla to those wicked bs of ice, t you're probably looking some way to help the pla recover. Untunately there aren't many choices you. The best thing you do is give them the tender care they deserve, attempt to nurse them back to health over a long period of time. The sral weeks after being srely damaged by h are vital to whether the plant survives or not. If you expect more r or wind, you shd keep the plant covered. In this brittle stage, n rdrops or a strong breeze cd cause more damage.

So if you live in an area that experiences frequent h, you shd definitely have some emergency plan protecting your pla. Sitting by watching them be ripped to shreds shd nr be an option!
