Aside from benefitting outdoor activities and recreation, this weekend’s snowfall has another benefit.
Local Horticulture expert Tom Hartman says it’s good for the landscape. “Not only for perennials and flowers around your house,” he explained. “but also for the farmer’s alfalfa fields.”
The owner of Hartman’s Towne and Country Greenhouse tells SeehaferNews.com that the major cause of problems in winter is freezing and thawing.
Snow cover keeps the ground from re-thawing during the day, which causes major damage to the roots of all sorts of plant life.
While we didn’t receive as much snow as originally forecast entering the weekend, the snow cover we have today is very good for the landscape.
