In our fast-paced time, not everyone has enough time to carefully care for the garden. But, probably, everyone sometimes wants to spend weekends in the country with family or friends. In this case, you need to make the site attractive and at the same time unusual, to arrange a so-called garden and a garden for the lazy. The advantage of such a garden is that it takes a minimum of effort to care for them.
Before planning a garden and a garden for the lazy, you need to choose a style. Dutch or Italian style gardens require a lot of effort, as does a regular garden or modern garden. It is highly advisable to arrange a garden in a landscape style or country style, that is, as close as possible to nature. It is assumed that plants characteristic of the local flora should grow in such a garden, since they do not require special care. In the garden for the lazy there should not be shearing hedges and carpet flower beds. For undisturbed hedges, you can use mock orange, rhododendron, hydrangea, and clover as a lawn, since it does not require any maintenance, yarrow and other wildflowers. This is a Moorish lawn, it looks extremely decorative and does not need to be mowed, unlike a usual meadow lawn.
In the garden and garden for the lazy, it is better to plant trees and shrubs that are not afraid of frost and do not need to be covered for the winter, and which do not need regular pruning and do not grow much. And so that the trees and shrubs look decorative for a whole year, it is necessary that the foliage remains to winter on the branches. Such unpretentious trees and shrubs include barberry, cotoneaster, heather, euonymus, mountain ash, viburnum and other plants. Coniferous plants - fir, juniper, thuja, pine do not require much care.
If you decide to make a garden and a garden for the lazy, then garden benches and gazebos need to be arranged taking into account the terrain and the area under them should be tiled. Vertical gardening of arches, arbors and various buildings with the help of climbing plants that do not require a lot of attention, such as hops, climbing honeysuckle, lemongrass, and girl’s grapes , will decorate the site .
Often the garden and the garden are a single whole, so you need to arrange the beds so that the bushes and trees do not obscure them. The layout of the garden also depends on the terrain. Vegetables such as radishes, beets, and cabbage can be planted in lowlands, and cucumbers, peppers, and tomatoes can be planted in well-lit areas. If the garden is not really needed, the best option would be curb beds of various shapes scattered by islands on the lawn. The width of the beds should not exceed one meter. You can do round beds. Very comfortable, and it looks beautiful. A climbing vegetables grow well on the pyramids. To do this, in the center of the round beds you need to stick a support.
Watering the garden is the most tedious job, so the layout of the garden should provide the most optimal option. There are several lazy garden watering systems, you just need to choose the one that suits you best. For example, a wick irrigation system is reduced to the fact that you need to fill a bucket dug in the ground with water, and plants use water gradually with a wick made from a strip of fabric 2 centimeters wide that is difficult to rot. One end of the wick falls into a bucket, the other digs into the ground. The bucket is closed with a lid so that the water does not evaporate.
Instead of a bucket, you can use leaky plastic bottles with a cut off top, dug two-thirds into the ground. They also need to be closed with covers. Such watering the garden is not convenient because you still need to carry a hose behind you to fill the containers. You can water with a holey hose dug to a depth of 10 centimeters. Holes are pierced with an awl at a distance of 25 centimeters from each other. The disadvantage of such a system can be considered that the water for irrigation is cold and you can not do liquid top dressing.
