What do you know about landscaping the site? Do you guess that a flowerbed is not only a composition of flowers, but a flower garden can be coniferous? The features of the arrangement of the garden, tricks, subtleties and concepts will be discussed in this article.
Lawns, flower beds and flower beds on your site
Flower beds and lawns
The concept of “lawn” refers to a section with herbal cover, but not every lawn can wear this name. To assign this name requires compliance with at least two conditions:
Artificial planting of herbs, otherwise it can be considered just a clearing;
Well -groomed appearance, otherwise it is not a lawn, but thickets.
The rest of the requirements relate to the appearance of a particular type of green coating.
So, among lawns the most popular:
Stalls;
Garden;
Moorish;
Meadow;
Sports.
Stalls – the king among the lawns intended for the front parts of the garden, it is against his background that they prefer to decorate flower beds or ceremonial flower beds. They do not go to the “table”, he is designed only to delight his eyes, emphasizing the beauty of the house. Ideal herbs for him are a mixture of oatmeal, white and ordinary field fields, meadow.
Garden lawns are not so aristocratic, they can decorate any summer cottage, it’s nice to walk on them. Herbs such as a forest rebellion, sleepy sleeping, Ovechta oatmeal, rope pasture, resistant to trampling, form a dense cover.
The meadow version is more often used in landscape design when it is required to arrange large spaces. You can also walk along it, since herbal mixtures (a hedgehog, a meadow oatmeal, yarrow and creeping clover, Timofeevka, a comb) give a dense herbal.
The name of the sports lawn speaks for itself. It is almost as whimsical as the ground, but should be much more stable, as it is intended for very large loads.
The Moorish type is glorified by the fact that you can arrange it on a rather poor soil. It is a mixture of herbs and flowering plants that are not demanding on the conditions of growth. The name “flowering meadow” is alternative, as it really reflects the essence, because outwardly the “Moor” is most like a luxurious floral carpet. The composition includes about 30 different types of seeds: clover, poppies, forget -me -nots, cornflowers, gypsophiles, caustic buttercup, meadow chamomile, margaritians, and as a basis – ordinary field field, meadow, oatmeal red.
Flower garden is a limited area in your garden planted by decorative plants. It is interesting that only flowers are not necessarily growing in flower beds. For replacement, they can be planted by shrubs, low trees, both flowering and fern or coniferous.
Most often they are broken against the background of the lawn, trying to choose the plants so that they do not dissonate with each other in shape, color, height. There are several types of flower beds, although the division into them is quite conditional.
Club-the type of flower garden of the correct shape, which is included in the garden-park composition, or a group of shrubs and trees in the clearing. Flints landscaping with the help of perennials who delight the eyes of the year after year. Talking about any landscape flowerbed is wrong, rather a flowerbed itself is an element of the landscape. The concept itself has long been used by townsfolk instead of the word “flower garden”.
Flower beds and their types
Golf lawn
In addition to flower beds, among flower beds, they distinguish an alpine slide, a front garden, a slave, a mixborder, a ground, as well as some other, less popular. A small flower garden equipped under the windows is suitable for a summer cottage. For a large flower garden, space is required, in personal plots it will look inappropriate, but city parks are the best place for it.
The ornamental (stalling) flower garden is a magnificent flowerbed, the plants in which are formed by various patterns, the center of the entire composition is usually crowned with sculpture or fountain. The stalls are divided in the front part of the garden in good lighting, attracting a specialist for this, since their creation is a very laborious process.
Alpine slide is a flower garden that does not require special care, while the dimensions of the site are not much important. The highlight of this garden composition is the presence of stones that make real Alps in miniature from the flower garden.
The border made of flowers or a flower strip along the yeast is called a slave, it has a width from 0.5 to 3 m. Among the plants there is a mix of perennials, annuals, bulbous and others.
Perhaps the most difficult view of the flower garden is a mixbord, which is a multi -row planting of plants – roses, hydrangeas, various bindings, small thuja. Tall plants are planted in the back rows, bulbous perennials, annuals, annuals are planted in the first. All of them are selected so as to provide flowering from the beginning of spring to the end of autumn.
As for the front garden, this is fenced with a low-sided mini-garden in front of the house. For such a flower garden, a variety of plants can be selected that will play not only a decorative role, but also protect from noise, dust or other unfavorable factors. You can plant shrubs here, forming a hedge (rose hips, viburnum, lilac, barberry, sea buckthorn) or fruit trees, for example, cherry, IrGU, mountain ash or sea buckthorn. The flowers are not very whimsical: daffodils, primrose, violets, peonies, lupine, mallow, nasturtium, marigolds, bells that bloom in the spring, as well as asters, gleniums, orebecks, blooming closer to autumn.
Flowerfire care and lawns
Any green spaces require regular care if the owner wants to keep their appearance for a long time. For example, the lawn requires the following care measures.
Haircut several times per season, depending on the type of coating. So, the ground, garden and meadow lawns cut every 2-3 weeks so that the herbs do not grow excessively. And for Mauritan, two mowers are enough – in the spring and autumn.
Cleaning is a very important part of regular care, it is carried out every time after haircuts, and in the fall it is required to clean the grass from fallen leaves.
Watering is carried out weekly, and with arid weather, if necessary.
Fertilizers should be applied at least 2-3 times a season, using liquid forms, since powders can cause a chemical burn. It is better to use options with a high nitrogen content, since after cutting this element is exhausted the fastest. The easiest way to buy specialized fertilizers for lawns in which all elements are balanced.
Start the season with a puncture of the soil using. Pierced to a depth of 10 cm at a distance of 15 cm between rows, which saturates the soil with oxygen. Please note that for clay soils you need to use pitchfork with hollow teeth that pull out a column of earth. If you have funds, you can buy a special aerator.
Flower beds require more labor -intensive care, including:
Watering;
Weeding;
Feeding
Protection of pests;
Seasonal work.
Watering newly planted plants is carried out regularly even in case of wet weather, this allows flowers to be rooted faster and gain strength. After a month of regular irrigation, you can proceed to periodic. It is easy to determine the need to moisturize the soil: pierce the earth with a stick, if it is dry by 5-10 cm, then watering is required.
Weeds should be weeded as they appear, otherwise they will instantly drown out cultivated plants. Dandelion is especially dangerous in this regard, the roots of which quickly grow to a greater depth, after which it becomes very difficult to remove them. Field binding and mokrin also quickly entangle cultivated plants with their stems, it becomes impossible to remove them without harm to the latter.
Top dressing occurs once in the spring, and in the fall you can make fertilizer with phosphorus, but this is not necessarily. Excessive fertilizer, especially nitrogen -containing top dressing, leads to a lack of flowering, since plants begin to quickly develop a vegetative system, ignoring the laying of flower buds.
When aphids or caterpillars appear, use “decis”, “karate” or other system insecticides, snails are afraid of anti -bore granules of metaldehyde granules. Fungal diseases such as powdery mildew or gray mold are taken using fungicides (foundazole, topaz, oxich).
Before wintering, the aboveground part of perennials is cut to a height of 6-10 cm. Excessively overgrown plants are divided into bushes and planted. After that, you can insulate the flower bed with a spruce spruce.
In the spring, carefully look through the ground and compact it where the roots have come out. You should also collect slugs.
In general, these are all the main activities for flower beds, but some plants require special care, which should be found out when buying seeds.
