Many consider landscaping to be time consuming and costly. Indeed, a variety of flower beds, well-groomed alpine slides require a lot of attention. However, why not plant your favorite plants in simple, neat and beautiful beds? It is also not difficult if you know the technology of their processing and have a practical imagination.
Raised beds
One of the simplest and most uncomplicated options is to arrange high beautiful beds. Then they look well-groomed, and the land on them is more fertile.
Features of the organization of work:
- the place should be chosen so that beautiful beds are located from north to east;
- a trench must be dug of the same width and depth;
- bottom for future planting should be covered with hay, foliage and branches;
- a layer of compost is laid out on a bed sprinkled with earth, and for greater effect, horse or cow manure is placed and all this is covered with earth 15 cm thick.
As a result, we got beautiful beds in the garden with fertile soil and “insulation” in case of a cold spring, which significantly reduces the risk of death of planted plants. It is also important not to overdo it with the parameters. Their height should not exceed70 cm, and the width should not exceed 160 cm. However, the question arises of the destruction of the resulting mound by the end of the season. How to solve this problem?
Increased bed life
To prevent the resulting beautiful beds from falling apart, it is necessary to make fences, which can be very diverse. It is convenient and simple, and it looks much more interesting. It is better to use fragments of slate for fencing, since in most cases they lie idle and do not require cash costs. You can also purchase inexpensive plastic borders. Such material will last a long time, and framed beautiful beds in the country will please the eye for a long time. You can plant almost any plant on them, from ordinary parsley to tomatoes.
French version
French decoration method is more like flowerbeds. They are made quite simply: the basics of constructing geometric shapes and symmetry are applied. A square area cleared of weeds is plowed up, and a circle is drawn in the center of it. Then earth is thrown into the middle, thus forming paths. The space remaining behind the circle is divided into 8 identical parts, and gravel and tile paths are laid between the beds. To prevent the germination of weeds, geotextiles are placed under the gravel. Fencing made of stones or broken bricks will brightly emphasize the unique French beautiful beds. After registration, they can be covered with compost or simply level the ground andstart planting.
Using small spaces
With a small landing area, you can make semi-circular options, which will also look good. And if you decorate such beautiful beds in antique style (make additional elements in the adjacent territory), then you can get a cozy corner of Russian culture, which will also bring a harvest!
