The snow will shelter the new growth from winter winds and collect warmth and light and as the snow melts under the surface it also provides a degree of\u00a0latent heat again helping to protect the plants.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>The bad about snow &#8211; if you have any conifers growing in borders\u00a0or as hedges then the snow can cause problems by building up in the top of the plants and spreading or breaking the stems. In this case the solution is to lightly shake the plants to remove the snow and remove and\u00a0badly\u00a0damaged branches or stems. Then using a strong wire tie the spread stems together inside the conifer to\u00a0maintain\u00a0the shape<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As for snow in the rest of the garden on paths drive ways etc well its all down to access, if you need access before the snow melts then its time to start digging with a snow shovel. This season the GardenAdvice team tested the Fiskars Light snow car spade\u00a0which turned out to be ideal not only to keep in your car or van in case you needed to dig yourself out but also for clearing garden paths<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its always a good idea to plan for winter falls of snow can be good and bad depending on what type of plants you have.
