With the beginning of the dacha season, you sometimes want to change something and make your site better and more comfortable. We spend a lot of time there, so it should not just be a piece of land, but a place to achieve goals and cause for pride. Someone wants to be proud of the unusual design of beds , and someone - an incredible harvest. Whatever it was, you need to make your beds by all the rules, then you can immediately achieve both goals.
How to make comfortable beds in the garden?
Having set out to make beautiful, regular, comfortable beds, you need to determine, first of all, their size, shape, location and overall layout.
The shape of the beds will depend entirely on the owner's imagination. They can be rectangular, square, round, oval, wavy, triangular, rhomboid. Also, their height may vary, however, in recent years, it has become increasingly popular to have high beds - about 40 cm.
Dimensions can also be arbitrary, but there are approximate optimal length and width indicators. So, in practice it was found out that the width is 60-100 cm, the length is up to 2 meters. Between the beds should be a path width of about 30-50 cm, which is mono laid out with boards or paved with tiles.
If you want to make good vegetable gardens in the garden, you need to know how to properly arrange them relative to the sun. So, these beds should be located in the direction of north-south.
Preparation of beds for planting
It is not enough to determine the size and shape of the beds. It is extremely important to know how to properly make beds in terms of digging, loosening and strengthening their boundaries, as well as how to make beds in the garden smoothly.
So, when you have determined the location and size of beds, marked them with pegs and stretched twine, they need to be dig as far as possible along the edge, creating a clear boundary. Then we dig through the entire area of the beds, checking the degree of compactness of the earth.
Under the layer of the removed turf the earth needs to be loosened up. Usually the bottom layer of the earth is quite acceptable for use under the landing. But if the lower layer is very dense, caked and all riddled with weed roots, it must be properly treated with a hoe.
Next, we need to strengthen the boundaries of our beds. You can make a simple edging with bricks, tiles or slate. Some do this with plastic and glass bottles. Stronger and more thorough lining is carried out with the help of bridge stone, wooden poles and other materials.
What kind of beds are best done in the garden?
The composition of the soil in the beds should be selected depending on what you plan to plant in them. High beds are good because they are multi-layered and warm. The first layer in them is laid out quickly-decomposable compost (branches, rags, paper), then - slowly-compostable ingredients (leaves, grass). All this is covered with earth. Such beds are warmed up faster by the sun, due to rotting of the compost layers additional heat is allocated and the harvest ripens faster. And if you put a grid under the lowest layer, you can not
There is a variant and beds-hills - small embankments with a height of up to 80 cm with a length of 190-200 cm. At the sides they need to be fixed with low curbs. In composition, these hillocks are reminiscent of high. They are usually formed from the fall to give time to settle. They perfectly grow eggplants, cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes.
Also, there are many supporters of the formation of so-called beds "by Mitlajderu." They have a width of 50 cm and nearby tracks - 90 cm. The fundamental point is the introduction of industrial and industrial fertilizers on a special system.
