When they start to close the equipment at the dacha site of their garden, they mainly think about ensuring that the chosen place bears maximum fruit, and consider its beautiful arrangement to be unnecessary excesses. However, there are a lot of those who rack their brains how to make beds in the country house neat, even, logical, with decorative ornaments. And they see nothing shameful in combining the useful with the beautiful.
Discerningly and meticulously should approach the choice of location for the garden. All plants on it should get plenty of sunshine for growth and development. And the moisture in the area should be in moderation. Increased soil moisture will adversely affect both seeds and adult plants. You may have to form
high beds with your own hands. And also take care of protecting the garden from strong winds by enclosing it with a fence or by building a green fence.
Of course, beautiful beds, brought out "by the string", without "torn" edges, will delight the eye. To make the ridges more comfortable, it is advisable to maintain their width in the amount of up to 1 meter. And how to arrange the ridges themselves - your imagination will tell you: in the form of squares or rectangles (well-established German rigor and conciseness), arcs, semicircles or circles.
How to make beds in the country? There is nothing particularly complicated about this. Previously, you should deeply dig the soil on the site. Then mark the ridges with pegs and cord (twine). In the middle of each line, dig a trench 0.5 m deep, where to lay compost or shredded plant debris, cover it with a mixture of earth and compost removed from the trench.
Do not forget about arranging the inter - you will need convenient access to the plants to care for them and harvest. Determine the width yourself, but it is clear that if you just want to move between the ridges, then it should be equal to the width of the foot, and if you prefer weaving sitting on a small bench, then wider.
Beautiful beds with their own hands can also be decorated with a decorative edging. Experienced gardeners in the course, how to arrange from the ground on the site a rectangular podium for high ridges. The rest will be helped by “forms” of wooden boards, bars, vertically mounted cylindrical blocks or stones.
A special art is how to make beds at the cottage also useful. To do this, you have to think about the properties of plants and their compatibility. Take into account when planting and the rules of the alternation of crops. Strawberries and strawberries, for example, are “friends” with garlic, white cabbage - with dill and celery, radishes - with salad. The edging of the ridges by certain plants can scare away garden pests (marigolds, monarda, calendula) or attract pollinating insects (chives).
Do not forget about how to make beds in the country and also protected from weeds. Try not to leave bare land around plants, compacting crops (of course, not to the detriment of garden crops). Mulch the inside of the garden with a mixture of sawdust and chopped tree bark.
If you do everything right, your garden will delight you not only with its beautiful view, but also with a plentiful harvest from year to year.
