Get the gardens in order!

Spring is the time for cleaning and renovations at stables! Renovation of stables is important for both safety and the well-being of the horses. Well-maintained and clean stables create a more comfortable stable environment and a functional hobby framework.

In spring, meltwater, mud and winter damage often require special attention. To prevent the garden from turning into a mud puddle, prevent water accumulation by draining and draining. Repair the most worn areas, adding sand or other gravelly soil if necessary.

Other maintenance activities usually include checking and cleaning the kennels. If you don't do some minor maintenance in the winter, you'll have to do more work in the spring.

Keep the farm clean to prevent the soil from compacting or becoming muddy. In the spring, it is a good idea to collect all the manure that has accumulated during the winter and transport it away. If the manure piles have been removed from the farms daily in the winter, there will be less cleaning to do in the spring.

Although the legislation does not directly require the collection of manure from paddocks, regular manure removal is recommended from the perspective of environmental protection and horse welfare. It is worth familiarizing yourself with local environmental protection regulations and following the general principles of legislation for the proper handling of manure.

Most common problems

In addition to other maintenance tasks, fences should be inspected and any damage repaired to ensure that all fences are intact and safe. Overall, choosing a fence is an important decision, as it affects not only the safety of the area but also the long-term costs and maintenance needs.

If your garden fences contain wood, the most common problem is rot and wear. Wooden parts can break, especially posts that are buried in the ground and do not have iron tips. During the winter, electric wires can also break, insulators can crack, or the power supply can be weakened.

Regular inspection of fences, even in winter, can save a lot. It is a good idea to check once a week that all parts are in good condition, and in summer, vegetation should be regularly controlled. Long grass can ground the electric fence and reduce its effectiveness.

Choosing the right fence option largely depends on the intended use, budget, and how much time and effort you want to spend on maintenance. Here is a small comparison:
