Ornamental garden or the beauty of vegetable beds.
Wanting to bring more bright colors into your lifeand relax from the dullness of the city, we increasingly spend our free time in nature. Having bought a dacha, many refuse to grow vegetables, not wanting to spoil the plot with beds. But who said that they must necessarily be rectangular in shape and look untidy? Create a decorative garden in your dacha and enjoy a beautiful view.
Your site is an untouched field for fantasy andvarious ideas. First, take a sheet of Whatman and draw a plan for your dacha, marking on it all residential and outbuildings. Apply the lines of the main tracks, growing fruit trees and shrubs. And now look how much free space you have left. On it we will create a decorative garden. Design ideas can be yours or taken from modern landscape design magazines.
If you are not inspired by patches of rectangularshape, use curved shapes or any geometric shapes. With the help of various color solutions, you can create a large picture of plants. First, start with simple options. Make the sun out of the beds. Arrange in the center a round flowerbed and plant on it a spreading bush of courgettes, squash or flowers. Rays make from the beds an elongated trapezoidal or curved shape.
To give more decorative, around the perimetereach garden plant a calendula, and in the center place any vegetables with a green color of the leaf. Flowers not only harmoniously fit into the design of each element of the sun, but also protect the vegetables from pests.
If there is a lot of free space on the site, you canmake a decorative garden in the form of a labyrinth. Having arranged small beds in a spiral, leaving between them small passages and making a wide main path. When planting plants on such beds, do not forget about the creation of ornamental plantings. Combine tall and stunted plants, mix different varieties, achieving a beautiful combination of colors and not forgetting about the compatibility of plants.
If your area is close to the surfacethere are underground waters and autumn-spring period high humidity, the ideal option will be multi-level beds. Make them very simple. Use for this ready-made curbs of plastic or any improvised material. For this purpose, boards, sliced slate, bricks, pieces of sleepers or poles are suitable.
Take, for example, a three-level bedsquare shape. To produce it you will need three frames of different sizes. We place the largest square on the selected place and fill it with soil. On top we have the next largest square, which is also filled with soil. Our smallest module with primer completes our design. Our multi-level garden is ready for planting.
Use the top modules for plants thatimportant is the greater depth of the fertile layer (daikon, beet, carrot). At the very first level, you should plant low flowers, radish, spicy herbs. This will help attract insects for pollination and create a decorative garden. Multilevel beds are not only well warmed by sunlight, but also facilitate the care of plants. The width of the free space for planting is perfect for cultivated plants, leaving no room for weeds.
And what about the idea of creating a decorative garden,using the free area of a long fence? For growing seedlings of strawberries or obtaining a crop with patched strawberries, early greens, you will not find a better option. To create such a hanging garden enough to hang flower pots or boxes on the inside of the fence, placing them on 2-3 levels. Filling the container with nutrient soil and sowing seeds or planting young seedlings, you can usefully use a huge free space.
The decoration of the garden can not be completed withoutuse of decorative details. The modern garden market offers a huge selection of various animal figures, fairy-tale characters and garden lamps. It is enough to draw on your adult fruit trees eyes, nose and mouth, to turn them into fairy-tale heroes. A clay dwarf, comfortably located under the leaves of lettuce or hedgehog, among the ornamental cabbage will give your garden uniqueness and create a special harmony.
