So, your dream came true, and you turned out to be the owner of your own land. It doesn’t matter how much you laid out for it and where it is located, since the “assortment” of problems in many cases will be approximately the same. In particular, you have to mark the garden plot. Its layout is extremely important, as it will provide an opportunity not only to obtain high yields, but also the organization of places for recreation.
It seems to many that just stick a finger at the place where you are going to set up a garden, but this is far from reality! Consider what features you should pay attention to when dividing the garden plot. The layout will allow you not only to use the place as profitably as possible, but also provide you with the highest possible yields.
What to consider?
- Do not forget to leave a place for the construction of some household and auxiliary buildings on the site.
- If you intend to get animals, do not neglect the need to comply with sanitary norms and rules (do not place the crib close to the bathhouse or house).
- Do not forget about the importance of quality alignment: a rare garden plot, layout which is not yet behaved, has a flat surface.
- Contact your local geodetic service and find out about the depth of groundwater: if they are dangerously close to the surface of the earth, in any case, you will have to build a high-quality drainage system. Otherwise, garden trees will have to be tight, as their root system will constantly erode.
An extremely important role is played by the establishment of water supply for the site. First, immediately find out about the possibility of a branch from a centralized water supply system. If the cost of such work is too high or if you have not seen a central water supply system in your area, you must contact the companies involved in drilling the wells.
In addition, the layout of the garden site with your own hands must necessarily take into account the places in which the garden or flower garden will be located, since they also need to carry out an irrigation system. If the soil in these areas is wet, then you need to do a good drainage.
By the way, it’s better for inveterate gardeners to send soil samples from the site for analysis even before buying land: it may happen that the land is simply unsuitable for professional gardening. If the garden plot you bought, the layout of which is to be located, is located in an open field, you can not do without trees, from which the so-called windbreaking line is planted. It allows you to protect the site from strong winter winds. Such a "construction" will not only protect your cultivated plants from freezing, but also help to save on heating the garden house.
And let's talk about the ground again. Do not be lazy and find out about the characteristics of the soil in your area by contacting the geodetic service. Otherwise, you may well be on heaving soils. It is not worth saying that the planning and development of garden plots in this case will be greatly complicated, and this without taking into account financial costs.
