A modern man is needed not only to satisfy the peasant's instinct and ensure its family with vegetables and fruits, but also as a place to relax from urban problems and fuss. And no one is in doubt that relaxing is always pleasant at a conveniently equipped beautiful territory. The topic of our article is "smart" beds from the point of view of organic farming.
The main goal of organic agriculture is to preserve and increasing the fertility of the soil. And the technology of the device "smart" beds will help us learn how to plan and decorate pricework.
The beds in organic agriculture may look different, but the basic principle of their formation is to maximize small areas.
The "smart" tracks must have a width of at least 40 centimeters - so it will be convenient to walk, carry a wheelbarrow, wearing water and so on. The most inconvenient in the garden is straight corners. Therefore, when booking "smart" beds and "smart" tracks you will have a wide field for experiments and creativity. You can equip oblique, triangular, radial beds, in this case everything rests on the convenience of using and maintenance.
The "smart" beds can be raised above the ground or deepened in it, may be "relaxed" and filled with humus. The height of raised beds ranges from 20 to 80 centimeters, and the width can be different, it all depends on the fact that it is planned to grow on such a garden.
Organic farming is constantly in development. Practitioners gardeners from year to year improve the methods of creating "smart" beds, invent various forms and configurations. Here the main thing is to deal with the basic principles, understand the essence of the process, and then everything will depend on your desire and opportunities.
Vegetable container is one of the varieties of raised beds, which are used in organic farming. The width of this structure is usually about a meter, the length of any, and the height is from 30-40 cm to 70-80 cm. Such beds are conveniently organized directly on the lawn, and they will give your garden with tiled masonry - such a fence beds for vegetables . In the center of the garden, you can install a sleeper for climbing crops. And ideally, such a "flower" need to cover the transparent roof, it will protect the vegetables from various diseases.
For the walls of a vegetable container, thin materials (plywood, slate, thin boards, and especially iron) are not suitable, since such a bed will be very hot in hot. And in the shadow it is impossible to equip it - good harvest will not be. In this case, the framework must be done by capital, because it can damage strong winds, and the weight of the plants during the fruiting period is not small (50 kg per meter running). It is best to use a timber or brica, brick or wild stone.
A vegetable container is filled in layers only by organic. At the very bottom, you can put rotten large branches of trees, chips, chips. Next is the coarse non-driving organic, which is poured to accelerate ripening with bacterial fertilizers. We will talk about these fertilizers in more detail with you in the following articles. The non-dried organic is driven by humus and earth. Next to the very top, the garden is filled with a layer of finished compost. It is important that this layer is at least 15-20 cm. It is impossible to mix sand or land to the finished compost, it is compacted from this and settles. It is not necessary to looser such a bed, in the spring you just need to add a layer of finished leveling, and when the planted plants are growing, the soil must be closed by straw or other suitable materials.
Watering a vegetable container is best done inner. To do this, when bookmarking the garden, it is necessary to evenly insert several tanks with holes (pipes or plastic bottles), which should be filled with water as needed. Under the humus, you can also bury the holey hoses, wrapped with by kapron stockings or other synthetics transmitting water. The end of the hose is outward and attached to the water source. The main thing is not to forget to turn off the water in 15-20 minutes so as not to dismisse the bed.
The vegetable container is best done with a roof of transparent materials (polyethylene film, cellular polycarbonate). This, of course, somewhat increases the cost of the design, however, the roof reliably protects plants from diseases. There is practically no dew under it, which provokes the emergence and development of phytoophulas, peridospodes and other dangerous diseases.
Vegetable container raised above the ground level high enough, so the soil is heated in it and ripens before. Any thermal-loving cultures on such a garden can be sown before ordinary terms. If you correctly calculate the time and location of plants, then you can first remove the crop of radishes and cress lettuce, then in the middle to build a charm for tomatoes or cucumbers, and at the place of radishes to plant beets, onions or carrots. By gathering the fall of root, in a vegetable container, you can drink Redis and Salad again.
As you can see, a vegetable container is comfortable and beautiful. Such a garden saves a place in the garden and allows you to get a harvest for one season different cultures. A large amount of nutritional compost allows you to minimize watering, feeding, weeding and loosening. The advantages of mass, however, there are disadvantages.
Vegetable container must be built, and it is necessary to find forces, time and means. For such a bed, many organic organics are required, which you also need to take somewhere and make sure that it is good quality. These three tangible disadvantages determine the moment that the vegetable container on household plots is infrequent.
Experienced gardeners, taking as a basis, the arrangement of a container beds, invented the options simpler and cheaper, but no less effective and comfortable. For example, the harvest of some crops can be raised right on the compost pile. To do this, to the place where the compost roses, attach the additional compartment. In the spring in this compartment, they throw over the entire winter under the film semi-prepared. You can land zucchini, cucumbers, pumpkins and tomatoes on such a garden.
Raised beds-box are very popular among organic agriculture adherents due to the simplicity of arrangement and high efficiency of use.
The box is a stationary bed, sides for which can be made of the material available. In this case, any boards, slate, plywood and the like are suitable. The height of such a garden, as a rule, 15-20 centimeters, width - 1-1.2 m, and the length can be done at his discretion. The garden-box is filled with an organic matter: a layer of semi-rubber manure or compost is poured at the bottom, and from above, a layer of no less than 6-7 cm, the finished high-quality humus is stacked.
If the box is wide, then row can be located both along and across. In order for the plants to receive more sunlight, rows on such a garden should be placed in the north-south direction.
In the middle of the beds-box make a sleeper for climbing crops, such a bed can be covered with a roof. That is, simply speaking, the box is a low container. And its main advantage in this case is the moment that there are no many organics to fill the bed. However, the thin layer of compost quickly loses the nutrient elements and moisture, and in the heat such a garden need to water more often. It is possible to do this with a hose or a buckets of a large capacity. To save moisture, a rather thick layer of mulch is required. It is recommended to use various organic fertilizers to feed the growing crops that will be described in detail in the following articles.
If the soil is good on the site, then the box does not necessarily. The land will burst under it on its own on a sufficiently large depth (in the first year already centimeters for twenty). As we have already found out in the article "Enough to destroy land with loosening and weeping", soil inhabitants will be engaged in the work of structuring and loosening - rain Worms and bacteria. The next spring will simply need to be poured into a bed of a few packs of finished compost, and plant vegetables right into it. If a good quality organizing agent, then weeds will be a bit, and those that will appear, are deleted quite easily.
Using a simple frame or wire arc, the Grocery-box can be quickly turned into a guy, in which it is convenient to grow seedlings of various cultures in the spring.
When using this kind of "smart" beds, the main thing is to fertilize them correctly and water timely. Then in boxes, as in a vegetable container, you can grow three or four crops of different vegetables.
As you have already noticed, our list of "smart" beds is based on the principle - from expensive and productive, to a cheap, but no less efficient to use. The practitioners of the farmers in their sites connect the advantages of all types of beds, they need to be cheaper than their bookmark and adapt to the conditions of this or that site.
If on the site groundwater It is low enough, and it never adhesive, a narrow compost box can be deepened into the ground. Thus, it turns out a peculiar garden trench.
The main advantage of in-depth beds is that they can be digging directly in virgin. To do this, in the turne dig a trench of two bayonet shovels and a depth of a bayonet. Length, as in previous cases (vegetable containers, beds-box), depends on your desires and opportunities. Even the boards from the boards do not need here. Right on the bottom of the trench, semi-dry manure is stacked, and from above - a layer of finished compost, a height of at least 6-7 centimeters.
You can land tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, cabbage, beans on such beds ... After the plants went into growth, the trench must be mediated with any existing material. About what materials can be used as a mulch, we will tell in detail in the following articles.
In the future, all departure will be in timely irrigation as needed. And still have a couple of times for the season to melt the grass in the aisle. In order not to do this, the aisle can be covered with burlap, and to fall asleep with gravel - and beautiful, and the weed does not grow up.
The main advantage of the in-depth trenches is that they are wonderful to hold moisture, and the plants here grow well, even with moderate irrigation. And the main disadvantage - from the classical position of the gardener when careing for such a bed, it is certainly nowhere to go anywhere.
As noted, the cottage is needed modern man Not only to grow vegetables and fruits. Most people use their gardens as a place to relax the whole family. Let's figure out how to decorate a nuclear area without spending a lot of space, forces and time.
Such structures as arbors, fences, as well as southern walls can be used to arrange a bed. If the fence is made of a grid, then he in itself will be an excellent chopper for high curly crops. You just need to dig along the trench and fill it with an organic. Such a garden is ideal for growing cucumbers and beans. The advantages are not necessary to build a lie, and the place does not occupy, but flowering plantsWhen skillful care, there are also a wonderful decor.
In the same way, you can surround the trench gazebo. You can land in this bed different kinds decorative pumpkins and beans, blooming red, white, and even purple flowers (hyacinth beans). The gazebo decorated in this way will be the highlight of your cottage and a favorite place for family gatherings. It should be noted that the cucumbers are not recommended to climb the gazebo, sometimes they lose and lose their decorative properties.
The southern and eastern walls of various country buildings are able to warm well per day and give plants reflected light and heat, which contributes to the acceleration of growth and the development of thermal-loving crops. Such walls can become an excellent support for Cherry tomatoes, and at the bottom you can land such attractive in the kind of cabbage, like Kohlrabi and Broccoli.
In order to give a home-rooted area, all the free spaces between the "smart" beds need to regularly twist - this will turn the weeds into a disintegrating lawn.
You have become the proud owner of the country area. But it's not enough - the land on it has never been processed or processed for a long time, and raise a crop in the first year you do not see any possibility, since the mastering of virgin is the case is an extraordinarily time-consuming. Do not despair, on the contrary, you are lucky - you got a plot with live land and, with a skillful approach and proper processing, you can preserve its fertility for many years. What to do in order to be able to grow your own harvest this season?
Experienced gardeners, in the process of studying and understanding the principles and techniques of organic farming, invented several ways to use virgin nervings already in the first year. We have already spoke about the in-depth beds-trenches.
On the principle of in-depth beds, you can arrange a place for growing various mesh crops. For this, even the trenches do not dig. For a device of such a bed right in the turne, it is enough to dig a hole near the meter in diameter and in a depth of two bayonets. The pit fill as usual - a semiconductous manure will go to the bottom, which can be mixed with a coarse misfortune. From above, a layer of 6-7 centimeters with a thickness, frenched completely humid. In such pits, pumpkins, cucumbers, zucchini, melons and watermelons grow perfectly.
All subsequent care for such a bed will be imprisoned only in timely watering. In order for the weeds to be grew here, it is necessary to wear a burlap or any other material (cardboard, old rugs, etc.), and on top to cover mulch from the organic (straw, sawdust). Under such a carpet weeds will die, and the next spring you will be left only to explode the soil with flat.
Another wonderful way for simple and efficient turf treatment is a special mulch for mastering the virgin and weed control. This technique is considered one of the most "smart" techniques applied for many years permacultural gardens and organist farmers. Its essence is as follows.
At the beginning of May, fresh bunoan poured with juice, it is wonderful food for soil organisms. Buriana scatter a layer of disturbed humoring a passage with manure and a small amount of compost. To speed up the process, all this can be treated with special bacterial fertilizers. On the humus with a manure of 2-3 layers, newspapers and magazines are placed, you can use packing cards for these purposes. A layer of nutrient organic is poured directly on paper, a thickness of 10-15 cm (it may be not allowed manure and unplanned humus). From above, all this "cake" is covered with straw, foliage or hay. With such a coating, paper or cardboard cut off the weeds, and the organic layer holds moisture well and provides meals.
For this bed in the first year, seeds, of course, do not sleep - therefore, there are seedlings of large plants (tomato, peppers, eggplants, as well as various melting crops). Sit down in a certain way - slightly rolls a little straw and manure and pierce the paper layer, and the roots themselves will find the road down. Then watered and again buried the layer of mulch. If rains happen relatively often, it almost does not have to water such a bed.
On the next year All this "pie" will fall and turn into a high-quality compost, the soil will break down from the bottom, and a new fertile and weed girling will appear in a happy grocery. Only it remains that each year add humus - and you can sow everything that the soul wishes.
So, summarize our conversation about the bookmark of organic beds. What you need to for for a long time without significant temporary and financial costs Planning and organize a comfortable and beautiful landfill. We highlight several basic principles:
Fulfilling all these not very complex rules, you can not only grow a good harvest, but also turn your garden into conveniently organized and beautiful place For rest of the whole family.

At the request of many of my friends, I will tell you how I grow vegetables.
I work, so I can travel only on the weekend. At the same time, it is necessary to rest after the labor week, to eat kebabs, shake in the bath, well, and hard to worry on Earth. Currently, in gardening there are several problems: soil fertility falls. The land becomes dense, exhausted and has gray. Falling fertility entails a decrease in harvests collected.
Application mineral fertilizer And the pesticides lead to infection of the soil, water, air and food, which leads to diseases of people. Traditional agricultural engineering used by most gardeners is very laborious. And this reduces interest in gardening among young people.
However, all these problems are solved fairly easily, if natural is used instead of traditional agriculture. Such an agrotechnology not only preserves, it also restores soil fertility. The consequence is to increase the yield of garden crops. Mineral fertilizers do not apply, which retains the purity of nature and maintains human health. A number of garden operations in Natural Agrotechnology are applied less often than with traditional. And some in it are completely absent. All this reduces the complexity of the processing of land and leaving plants.
In my opinion, it is more important to return to nature and forget the postulate, as if the soil needs to be pushing with fertilizers, tormented with shovels and sprinkle with pesticides. Natural agriculture is primarily gentle by the processing of soil, protection of it from the temperature difference, the return of nutrients, which land generously gave plants.
Every year in the spring, coming to your country area, we sow or land vegetables on your beds. The size of the bed with a width of 1.4 meters to 2 meters, the tracks between them from 20 cm. Up to 40 cm. Maximum. This is a traditional way to plant vegetables to bed. The plant on such beds, especially in the middle, is often sick, exposed to shockting, it is poorly developed, the vegetables are small, not yet stored. But for pests weakened plant and good nutrition, and you can postpone off the offspring. Alone, to handle such a caring such a torment.
But on such a bed I saw one positive side. Extreme plant, regarding those that are located in the middle, looked more worthy. Larger, are not affected by the disease and it is convenient to pour, reload, etc.
I also thought about one more factor. Single tree along the alleys in the city feature, no one feeds him, the foliage that it throws off, and they try to remove for external view and beauty. Although this foliage could serve a fancy tree. So at the expense of this tree exists and where does it take nutrition? In recent years, scientists have established that the plant is about 60% taking power from the air. It is of course interesting.
The unpredictability of our Far Eastern climate, high temperatures, night and day, arid or rainy summer, excessive precipitation by the end of August and the beginning of September confirmed the samples chosen by me for many years and errors of frosting vegetables. I came to the conclusion that you need to look for another way less time-consuming, but with the ability to get more high yields. I combined two technologies.
1. "Narrow ridges - unique technology Vegetable growing for small areas. "
2. "Agrotechnology of natural agriculture."
I have strengthened in the opinion that it is the organizing agent that can reveal all the possibilities of plants, saving strength and time. Only for good compost You can see and evaluate the quality of Western and domestic varieties: most of them are created for organic soil. I am sure: we can not go anywhere from the organic. Total things: learn to compost and still arrange stationary beds - once for many years.
Vegetable growing on narrow ridges was developed by J. Mitlider in the 70s of the last century and brought by the author to Russia in 1989.
But blind copying of the receptions and tips, even the very best, will not lead to anything. There must be a creative approach and to understand the biological patterns of the culture itself, and the processes occurring during its cultivation. Mitlider has one drawback (this is my opinion) when using mineral fertilizers, the taste of the fetus is unnatural. To fix it - instead of mineral feeding uses humid, ash, manure, infusion of herbs, etc. (I am a supporter organic fertilizers). I am for a pure ecological product.
But you do not need to perceive mineral fertilizer as a poison. Observe the only dose. It is better not to pectinate the plant than to overgrow it.
For which I am especially grateful to J. Mitlider is for the development of narrow beds. Although Mitlaider does not recommend putting a box for narrow beds, I still screamed the box. Nature itself suggested me. In the spring, many country sites Floats, water does not have time to go, there are water in the aisles. We have the same problem at the end of August and early September - the rains are poured and at night. And in the middle of the summer it rains can pour 2 - 3 days, and maybe in half an hour pour the whole garden.
Therefore, raising the beds by 15-25 cm. Above the tracks - solves this problem. The width of the ridge 60 is 100 cm., Arbitrary length. The groove between the beds 60 is 80 cm. It only seems that the land in the aisles walks without use. It is the passages and work, and even how!
Vegetable container is a high garden, the walls of which are composed of bricks, bric, timber, boards, stone, slate ... Crickerels stretch from north to south. The aisles between them can be inspired by sand, sawdust, rubberoid, etc. I preferred the lawn, which is once a month with a trimmer. Some passes I posed sawdust. The beauty of the garden does not leave anyone indifferent. Weeds are not, the plot is clean and beautiful.
Box - the box is filled with organic. Down tolerances are plant residues (grass, straw, foliage), then compost or manure, or shed in herbs and the like; The top layer puts the Earth from the aisles. Thus, the box is filled.
Each garden is 2 rows of vegetables, planted along the edges in a checker order between vegetables. In this geometry hidden a huge reserve of productivity, it has long been noticed: the extreme plant develops almost twice as well as in the middle - they have much more light and space for growth. And here - all plants extreme. Wide aisle and necessary in order to give them light and space. The small area of \u200b\u200bthe organic gives more than big square Soil. One who at least one season has worked on narrow ridges, is convinceding in the vast capabilities of this method and simply cannot return to traditional technology. Working on the ridges, a person is joy not only from a good harvest, but also from the process of growing vegetables.
The beauty of the garden, which is more like the park, does not leave anyone indifferent. Weeds are not, the plot is clean and beautiful.
In two rows in a chess order, I soaring cabbage, eggplants, pepper, tomatoes, etc.
Four or three rows I land onions, garlic, beets, salads, radishes, carrots, etc.
Disadvantages requires material costs for the first year to build a garden. This tiny disadvantage makes the container inaccessible to most dacities.
Such a garden works for several years, one can say forever (replenish it with waste, vegetable residues, foliage, etc.). After crawling, Sota Siderats. When landing, it is not necessary to introduce neither compost in the well, nor overwhelmed manure. Such a garden itself is a compost.
The humus is not washed, because the garden is fenced. According to many agronomists 60 - 80%, the plant is powered out of air, therefore large passes play a significant role in the biological process of the plant. Culture gets good illumination and sufficient air flow.
About 30% plant gets food from the ground. Naturally, the consumption of organic and mineral fertilizers is spent 2 times less consumption of organic and mineral fertilizers. At the same time, the harvest is much higher than you get with a narrow bed. I checked it for several years and it can be seen in my photos.
Contains a large volume of nutrients, moisture supply.
Convenient watering.
There is no stagnation of water.
Does not require dipping.
Does not require a musting - if the garden is clicked.
Does not require resistance, only loosening by 7 - 10 cm.
It is possible to produce an early fit, as the beds in the spring warm up faster than ordinary.
On narrow beds it is easy to do crop rotation. Where last year the onions, this year you can plant carrots or cabbage. Groats all one width.
Yield rises 100% and higher.
Tubers, rooted roots without visible signs of disease.
Beautiful and easy to work.
It takes a minimum of space, does not create dirt and disorder.
It is very convenient to make the shelter by plastic arcs that are sold in seed stores. We put 2 piles from both sides of the bed and put on them an arc. Distance between arcs near the meter. Depending on the bed length, you install the desired number of arcs. On top of the arcs, you can use the observer material or film, until the frost threat passes.
This system of narrow beds and allows me to receive constantly high yields, independent of weather whims and conditions of the region.
True great? And this is still to take into account that Igor lives in the Khabarovsk Territory, in Komsomolsk-on-Amur!
And we have a risky agriculture zone, a risky agriculture zone :)) 
At the request of many of my friends, I will tell you how I'm doing a bed. Vegetable container is a high garden, the walls of which are composed of bricks, bric, timber, boards, stone, slate. The beds are drawn from north to south.
In the photo you will see, the garden is composed of logs. Birovna remained after the parsing of houses, they did not take them into the construction, as the core rotted, but for the garden will go.
We prepare a flat platform.
Firmly labeled log in the ground, you can even deepen a little. Width from 80 - 120 cm, it all depends on climatic conditions, the hotter, the wider bed.
Loss of arbitrary.
Breeding with nails or screws.
At the bottom of the cardboard, so as not to develop a long-term weed ...
... as well as the pests of Khrushche, a wire and so on.
We put the rough vegetable remnants of corn, sunflower, etc.
Yes, you still need to paint or bother. Now for sale water-based paint for facades. This so that the sun does not heat the land and insects are less than the hernia, and the most important beauty of the garden.
Then I lay the vegetable remnants of other cultures of carrots, cabbage, potato, tomato, tomato, etc. Regardlessly infected with diseases or not. Effective microorganisms recycle all sores. It is impossible to lay a weed of long-term. I do not use Baikal and the like.
1. I believe that each agriculture can prepare for itself microbial drugs, almost as diverse in composition, as sold EM cultures, but from their local, adapted to climate and soils of microbes, which will be ecologically more competent and practical.
We offer a practical, simple and cheap way to restore soil fertility and increase plant yields. Considering that the main component of the EM is yeast and dairy-acid bacteria, which is already enough in the soil and around us, we offer to use the usual sugar-yeast mackerel as anterior of organic infusions.
Prepares infusion. In the 200-liter capacity (barrel) placed:
- shovel of wood or herbal ash;
- half ancara manure and
Good afternoon friends!
Today we will talk about not quite ordinary planting of plants. The vegetable garden above the ground, the technology of growing vegetables and berries above the main surface of the soil is not Nova. But sometimes it seems that only landscape designers and polishes are remembered about her - decorators. Ordinary gardeners and gardeners as if forgotten about its existence.
For each specific site, the beds should be selected that perfectly fit into the structure of your garden or the garden and do not lose their main functional purpose.
In addition to purely aesthetic pleasure, vertical beds and flowerbeds carry and enormous practical benefits.
The choice of material and features of the design are limited only by your fantasy. Boards, decks, bricks, slate, concrete, stone, can be used wooden or plastic boxes, flower pots, pVC pipes, car tires and much more. The design of your future garden can be sprinkled on the Internet or come up with yourself. In any case, the end result will look exclusively and the other will not be any of your friends.
I ordered wooden frames on the site master gardener.ru very cool))
There is a huge number of design options for multi-tiered flower, I will tell about the most popular and, at the same time, available option. Consider multi-tier club "Pyramid" from a tree.
Everything, reliable and, at the same time, cheap flower bed is ready. You can land at least flowers, even strawberries.
It does not matter how many places you have - hectares of the earth outside the city or a pair of square meters on the balcony - you can still grow in growing vegetables. Here are just the owners of a large land plot can grow almost everything that wishes, and those who have a Necklish garden, will have to think about what to choose culture.
Not everyone can afford a whole area or a large garden, one of the corners of which could be left for growing a variety of vegetables. However, the lack of free space does not mean that you cannot grow vegetables.
Even on the contrary, pots, hanging baskets, plant growing boxes and other capacitances can be compactly positioned even in the most close kindergarten, and the curly plants are easy to grow at the wall or to put them on a balcony fence. Of course, being so cramped, you will not provide yourself with everything you need in terms of food, however these vegetables will be enough to "revive" the table.
Most cultures are fitted perfectly grow in various tanks. Often they practically do not occupy places, which means, are ideal for patio, balconies and kindergartens, broken on the roofs.
Successful cultivation of plants in pots depends on several factors: firstly, the container must be quite large, and secondly, the drainage holes are needed at its base. You have to choose from what: Plastic pots are quite inexpensive, but the frost-resistant terracotta look wonderfully (though, such a pot evaporates more water, but if you wrap it with polyethylene, after having done several holes in its lower part, the problem will be solved). Moreover, for growing vegetables, it is possible to use containers from under food, wooden boxes or galvanized metal buckets.
Pots should be put up for a sunny place by filling out them with a special compartment for the cultural chosen by you or multipurpose compost.
If you live in an apartment or you simply do not have a garden, do not despair: vegetables can be grown in hanging baskets and coil boxes, optimally using space vertically.
The most suitable for hanging baskets by cultures are those that have long falling stems, or those growing quite compact. In this respect, ampel tomatoes are ideal - they are very easy to collect. You can also try to land the low-grade podcol or salad. And when choosing a basket - for the consumer, an incredible amount is offered - it is necessary to make sure that the bracket can be securely attached to the wall, so that you avoid falling pots.
As for the coil boxes, they are usually more space than in a basket, which means there will fit more vegetables. Ideal candidates for cultivation in the coil box are green Luc, Listed salad and radishes - they can be sown in small rows in the width of the box. You can put a mini-carrot, carrots with a stupid root, beets and ampel tomatoes to these cultures. It should not be planted in such a drawer of culture reaching a large value, - first, it looks ugly, and secondly, they will put on the drawer with their mass, and therefore, in windy weather he will begin to stagger. Remember the safety: secure the box securely. In addition, it is necessary to install the pallet under the drawer so that the water does not flow through drainage holes.
Bags for growing plants are ideal in conditions of lack of free space: they can be led to the fence, to the wall on the sunny patio or install on the balcony or terrace. Standard dimensions Such a bag of 35 x 95 cm, and in each of them there is enough space for three plants. In such a bag, it is better to grow cultures that are not allowed deep roots, such as peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, zucchini and tomatoes. And if you cut a long hole in the top of the bag, it can be used to grow salad.
Does explainations are required how to prepare a bag for growing plants to sow or landing? Isn't it just enough to cut holes and quietly put plants? Not certainly in that way. After all, you need to make sure that the seedlings are guaranteed violent growth. When buying such a bag, you will notice that it is somewhat alive, and the compost inside is pressed. If you immediately plan the plants there, it will end sadly. To begin with, it is necessary to break the soil, thoroughly "adding" a bag. Forming from the ground in a bag of a small hilly in the center, you should cut the side sides of the bag closer to the bottom, thus ensuring drainage.
At the top of the bag, the holes for planting plants are neatly cut. From each hole, a little compost should be removed, leaving the recess sufficient to fit the earth with roots there. Sutting off the plants, pour them out of the ground selected from the bag and sink the soil.
If you are going to grow in a salad bag, do the same actions, just do not cut into the top of the hole bag over the lines - make one large rectangular hole and small rows on the width of the bag width.
Bag for growing plants can be reused. After removing the summer yield of tomatoes, remove the plants from the soil along with the roots. Add a little fresh compost and autumn. Adjust the bag for growing salad. However, for the third time it is not worth using a bag, because by that time there will be no nutrients in the soil.
The raised garden is a bit similar to a huge container, but it has several advantages over the pots: you can grow much more cultures on the garden, besides, you will provide a separate place to vegetables. This greatly facilitates the whole process, as you exempt the free space in the garden, not forcing it with pots.
The raised bed, which, essentially, is a square or a rectangular frame, filled with a mixture of compost, can be made of old bricks, sleepers or logs. However, you can buy a ready-made set - you will be left only to collect it. Raised beds can achieve considerable height, but for most gods, square beds with a side of 90 cm and 23 cm height are perfect.
Grocery should be shut-off in a sunny protected place. If you wish, you can buy copper strips conducted by current - so you protect the plants from voracious slugs and snails.
The division of the beds to squares is a reception with which you can optimally use space for landing. The garden is divided into squares with a side of 30 cm, each of which is given to a separate culture. The beds themselves can be any size, but if the plot is tiny, it is suitable for raised beds of 90 x 90 cm, which can be divided into 9 squares. Squares are outlined by spending a stick on the surface of the compost, or navigating the carcass to the carcass and pulling the ropes so that the grid is made of squares.
Arrange the garden in a well-lit, sunny place - on the lawn, the veranda either in the patio. The compost mixture should be fifty percent consisting of the top layer of the soil and fifty-from multipurpose compost. It should also be added to a mixture of several handful garden gravel to improve drainage.
Having planting culture to bed, pay attention to your choice: plants should be low and compact. Ideal in this regard are pepper, beets, leaf salad, mangold, low-graded beans, eggplants, green onions and radishes. At the same time, the salad should be sowed within a square of small rows, and a vegetable culture with which you will collect fruits - put in the center of the square. If we are talking about the leafy cultures of the Basil type, place four plants in the square.
Having landed the culture, her thoroughly and bring a bed with a shallow wire mesh to scare cats that can take a bed for a toilet - a tray in the fresh air. When cultures begin to actively grow, the grid can be removed.
To enjoy fresh vegetables, it is not necessary to re-design the whole garden, because there are always a bed free placewhere edible plants can fit. Many vegetable crops grow attractive leaves, flowers and fruits - often they are so pleasant to the eye, which does not seem inappropriate among garden perennial cultures and shrubs. Corn would be nice to plant in the middle of the site either in its back. But the varieties of legumes with purple and yellow pods, growing, immediately striking and can serve in decorative purposes, if they have figured supports or trellis for them. Such leafy crops like cabbage kale variety "Black Tuscany" or "Redbor", as well as Ruby Mangold, wonderfully revive the plot.
Salad is ideal for sitting on small spaces. It grows perfectly in a half and does not give weeds to capture pieces of free soil. Listed salad can be grown in small rows or sow aims. As an option, at such a place can be planted salad - Latuk - gradually it will fill all the free space in this area.
Remember: Before you put something, you should shift the soil to the pool and dismiss it with rakes.
Vegetables will look better if by creating a garden with decoratively melted beds, plant vegetable crops next to flowers. A similar type of garden came to us from France: instead of planting plants with rows, attractive fruit and vegetable crops plant on square or rectangular beds, as well as herbs. Interest with decorative colors. Plants are chosen very carefully, because they must complement each other.
The border of such beds sometimes serve plants that have been molding, pieces of wood or sleepers. Although formally, the vegetable structure exists a certain structure, after planting plants, the contours of the beds are almost disappeared, since the plants are flying away with each other and go beyond the boundaries.
In this case, as in all other, it is also necessary to optimally use the vertical space. Establish in the garden of the cholera or pyramidal frameworks, for which bean and pumpkin can be cling. Along with other high plants, they should be placed closer to the center of the bed.
