When planning a site, it is important to consider not only the placement of the house and the landing part, but also the detailed location of all crops in your garden. Beautiful beds in the garden not only pleases the eye, the correct arrangement greatly simplifies the cultivation process and affects the quality of the crop.
Correct beds in the garden
There are several fundamentally different methods of creating beds . Each variant is actively used, depending on the type of soil, cultivated crops and the size of the site itself.
- High warm beds recently began to occur more often. The width of this type is standard, and the height varies, but does not exceed a meter. The earth is strengthened with the help of brickwork, wooden blocks or usual building boards. First dig a small pit, put a grid to protect against rodents, then build retaining walls. Always remember that after harvesting the ground is dug up and the ridges are left. Then, after the winter, during thawing, the soil does not break down the buildings.
- In cases where planting is located outside the site, it is better to make the usual raised beds in the garden, as all the buildings can simply steal. The length and width depend on your preferences, the distance between the beds usually does not exceed 50 cm. For the construction of such hills, you become in the inter-row and start to cast the earth on the elevations and thereby make a ditch. Once everyone has leveled and planted the seeds, it is no longer possible to step on the garden with your foot.
- Beginners are usually advised to make simple flat beds in the garden, as the process of their preparation is the most labor-intensive. To do this you will need pegs and a rope. You simply install the pegs and break the plot into beds, and trampling between the rows. With this option, harvesting and nursing is carried out only from the trampled paths. They are usually either paved with paving slabs, or fenced off with low fences.
How to arrange beds in the garden?
According to the generally accepted recommendations of experienced gardeners, the right beds in the garden lie from the south to the north. With this arrangement, some landings do not obscure others, and the land warms up as evenly as possible.
If you have a plot on the slope, the correct beds in the garden will be located across this slope. This will make it possible to distribute water evenly during watering. With regard to the width of beds in the garden, it is usually from 60 cm, but does not exceed a meter. This simplifies the care, you do not have to stretch too far toward the middle and thus trample down the plantations.
Another important point in the question of how to make beds in the garden, it concerns the planning of all plantings. The fact is that all sizes of beds are usually given for standard plants and are approximate. If you prepare sites for planting certain crops, you will have to take into account other factors as well. Before you make a garden in the garden, consider the following:
- learn about the crop yield of the cultivar chosen by you, this will make it possible to calculate the area for each bush and determine
size of the bed; - any planning of the garden is impossible without checking the compatibility of crops;
- if due to the nature of the landscape, you can not make ordinary beds in the garden, you can both build a terrace, and use high beds up to a meter in height;
- always plant the highest plants on the northern beds so that they do not obscure the rest.
With the proper arrangement and design of the garden, it is not only much easier to take care of, but also more pleasant.
