2. We dig up slate around the bath so that its edges are 20 centimeters higher than the surface of the earth.
3. Pull the hose cut along the edge of the slate (it will protect the polyethylene from rupture).
4. We cover the bathtub and slate with polyethylene, carefully spreading it along the bottom of the future reservoir. The edges of the film can be sprinkled with earth and pressed down with stones.
5. Pour water into the "reservoir".
6. We decorate with stones, we plant around the plant, and water lilies can be placed in the pond itself.

Do you want lions and tigers, plump pigs, bright beetles, giraffes and zebras to settle in your dacha? Bring the idea of ​​"Safari" to life. You can create an improvised zoo with your own hands using completely different objects. We will need:

• plastic bottles of different sizes;
• old tires;
• brushes and paint;
• stones different sizes or old construction helmets, basins;
• shovel.

The most common representatives of the fauna created by summer residents are giraffe, zebra, piglet, beetles. We will try to arrange them with you on our site.

The giraffe and the zebra are made using the same technology. The differences are in the color and length of the animals' necks.

1. Dig an old tire halfway into the ground - this will be the body of the animal.
2. After cutting off the bottom and tops, join several plastic bottles together to form a neck. Dig in the "neck" in front of the buried tire.
3. Cut one bottle lengthwise, cut off the neck - you get a head. Attach it to the "neck".
4. The animal is almost done! It remains to paint. Color your ungulate in the desired colors: the giraffe in yellow and orange, the zebra in black and white.

Interesting idea - safari on summer cottage

By analogy, you can also make palms, birches and other plants, decorating your "oasis" with them.

It's even easier to make a piglet:

1. Take a large "pot-bellied" plastic bottle and fill it with sand to add bulk.
2. Make ears from a piece of plastic and insert them into the area of ​​the "head" of the pig (where the neck of the bottle is).
3. Paint the bottle with pink paint, and paint the eyes and a piglet with black paint. Pig is ready!

An interesting idea - piglets from plastic bottles

Cheerful multi-colored bugs can be made from any rounded containers and put on the beds and flower beds as decoration. Even stones are suitable for making: just paint them with paint, drawing dots like ladybirds, antennae, eyes.

And from an old basin you can make a tortoise Tortilla. Cutting the tires and bending their parts in a certain way, and then painting them with white paint, we get a swan.

Convenient sprinklers

Another convenient and practical way applications of plastic bottles - creating convenient system watering the beds. We will need:

• plastic bottles;
• thick nail;
• shovel;
• water.

Work technology

1. In plastic bottles on the sides we do small holes a nail or a thick awl.
2. We dig the blanks up with the neck into the ground next to the plant.
3. Pour water into bottles through the neck.
4. The water from the bottles will gradually flow into the ground through the holes and nourish the roots of the plant.

Hands-on experience - plant sprinklers

From soda bottles, you can organize and drip irrigation, which is very convenient for use in greenhouses. To do this, cut off the bottom of the bottle, and pierce several holes in the cork so that the water flows slowly. In order not to be mistaken, first make very small holes - it is better to expand them later.

After creating a blank, dig a hole (depth about 15 cm) near the bush, at a distance of 20 cm from the stem, and dig in the bottle with the neck down at an angle. It remains to fill the bottles with water, and the system is ready.

You can organize watering using bottles in another way. To do this, a bottle without a bottom is hung down with its neck on the side of the plant and filled with water. By unscrewing the plug a little, you can regulate the water flow. Place tiny pieces of plastic underneath the bottle to avoid erosion of the soil from droplets.

Winged swing

Having worked in the garden, I want to relax: for example, sit on a bench and drink tea. But it is more interesting to relax on a swing, especially with children. We offer to make unusual and even shocking swing from ... an old sofa! The main thing is that you grow strong and tall tree with powerful branches, for which you need to firmly fasten with strong ropes or chains old sofa... And it will swing softly and comfortably. It is better to cover such a means of entertainment from rain with a film, and put it indoors for the winter. But on the other hand, no one will have such a swing!

You can also make a swing from an old seat from a chair: just hang it from a thick and strong branch of a tree and swing to your health.

Such different flower beds

Every housewife knows flowerbeds made of old tires, used both in their original form and in various ways. But not everyone will guess how to make "houses" for flowers from an old bicycle, wheelbarrow, car, shoes or kettle.

An old bicycle can be easily fixed in the ground by digging in the wheels, and supplemented with small pots in which flowers are planted. In addition, let a climbing plant on it: it will grab the skeleton of a two-wheeled vehicle and turn it into an unusual flower bed.

An interesting idea - a flower bed from an old bicycle

From old rubber boots, painted with different colors, bright flower pots are obtained. Fill them with soil and plant the plants there. Don't forget the drainage holes in the outsole of your old shoes! You can arrange such pots anywhere: on the veranda, fence, between the beds, and this is their great advantage. By the way, do not write off non-rubberized boots either: you can also fill them with earth and plant flowers in them, they just will serve less than rubber ones.

A flower bed of old shoes is an amazing and very beautiful idea.

We save right

An old metal teapot is also a great flower bed. Attach ropes or chains to the handle, hang it from the ceiling on the veranda, fill in the earth, and plant a climbing birch-type plant.

We can also offer you the idea of ​​decorating a summer cottage or garden with the participation of a bicycle, a wheelbarrow, old galoshes, dishes and other unnecessary items as flower beds. The only advice is to consider the aggressive influence of external factors.

Flower flow is a popular and very interesting landscape design technique. main idea- planting a garden or summer cottage area with weaving flowers in such a way that it resembles a water stream. The most interesting is the mono-flower garden. At the "source" of such a rivulet, you can put an inverted flowerpot or bucket. It will be much more interesting this way.

Bright design of the fence

The fence, braided with brightly flowering plants, looks great. So you can decorate even the most ordinary-looking fence.

You can make a green arch near a fence or building with your own hands. It's very romantic.

If an artist lives in you, be sure to use your talent. Paint all or some parts of the fence. The result can be a fun set of colorful elements or a complete picture that will be difficult to look away from.

Bright decorations for garden

We need old stuff

At any dacha, you can always find old and already unused things that you didn't manage or forgot to take to the landfill. It could be a rusty bucket, a cracked watering can or a plastic bowl, or even a broken cart. It is quite possible to make original elements of garden decor from all these pots and pans, simply by planting flowers in them. Thus, already unnecessary household waste can turn into beautiful flowerpots.

The most obvious option is old watering can... It will perfectly serve as a vase for peonies, tulips, irises or asters. It can be placed in the center of the composition by placing it on a pedestal, which is easy to build yourself from a chair or an ordinary inverted bucket. The nuance is flower arrangement with the participation of a pedestal is that in it it is better to give preference to a plant that gracefully falls down.

As for larger containers, such as carts and containers, they are more suitable for arranging large summer cottages where enough free space... Before turning the cart into a flower garden, special holes must be made in its bottom for drainage. This is if the flowers are planted directly into the container itself. You can do it differently: initially plant the seedlings in separate pots, and arrange them in the cart to your liking.

A flower bed from a trolley or bicycle looks great on any site

Old utensils such as a saucepan, bucket, or kettle are great for planting small trees and bushes. You can also give free rein to imagination and decorate it all in different colors by making the flower bed the most bright element in the garden.

• Tables. A table top without legs with two nailed holder rails, vertically attached to the wall of the house, perfectly acts as a shoe holder.
• Chair backs. They make non-standard shelves, hangers for small things.
• Wooden beds. By removing the legs, hanging the base on strong ropes or chains, you can get a hanging bed.

The top of the bottle with a cap will serve as the hedgehog's muzzle. Eyes, nose and antennae are drawn with paints on the face.

Instructions: how to revive a stone

Stone is the most accessible and popular material. Cute figurines and whole sculptures, as well as their compositions, can all be created using stone.

How to make a beautiful garden and vegetable garden with your own hands, which would delight us and bring pleasure? Today, a garden and a city is not just a land where food is grown to the table, it is a refuge from the hustle and bustle and stress, a place where our soul returns to beauty. And the principles of creating a beautiful garden and vegetable garden can be applied both to your summer cottage and to landscaping a balcony or even to your collection of indoor flowers.

You can be in the garden for a couple of minutes or for hours - it doesn't matter, because every second you enjoy every cell of your body.
And although our home and garden is a purely personal and private space, several general recommendations will help you achieve real perfection and create a beautiful garden and vegetable garden with your own hands.

Separate your garden and vegetable garden visually.

Zoning your garden space will help you create a more holistic and harmonious design. A flowerbed with tall ornamental grasses and flowers serves as a kind of partition between the vegetable garden and the garden.


And although the garden is located very close to the vegetable garden, separated by such decorative border, it will turn out to be more comfortable and beautiful.

Consider the view from different parts of the garden.

It is beautiful to admire your garden from afar, but it is much more important to enjoy it from the inside. Therefore, the views that open both from your gazebo and from the path or secluded bench in the garden are important.

To create an interesting structure, use curved paths and arches with climbing plants in the garden, neatly fitting them into the general arrangement of shrubs and fruit trees.

It is important to take into account not only the beauty of flowers, but also their aroma, then, walking around the garden, you can feel how the aroma of roses flows into the wonderful aroma of jasmine or lilies.

Use any corner of your garden as a flower garden.

Your vegetable garden is not just a place to fight for the harvest. With a little effort, you can always give it more interesting view- planting as a curb spices or flowers that repel insects.

Even small corners of the garden, such as a spot at the back of a house, can be used to create a cute flower garden with unpretentious perennials.

The fence is a great place for a flower garden with garden vines; it is enough to fix a garden net on it. For the sunny side of the fence, you can plant a climbing rose that will bloom all season.

For a shady place, plant honeysuckle, which blooms, although not for long, but has a very pleasant aroma.

And of course, use clematis! This is the most popular garden vine and can transform your garden in an amazing way. Moreover, clematis will feel best on garden arch since he needs shade in the root zone and light for the shoots.

A garden is not only a decoration, but mainly a harvest. Using grapes to twine around a garden gazebo, we will solve two problems at once.

Firstly, the grapes will create a pleasant coolness on a sunny day, and secondly, in the fall they will delight us with a generous harvest.

Shade-loving and light-loving plants can be planted nearby.

Anywhere in your garden, you can mix and match your favorite plants to create the right light mode for them.
It is important to highlight light-loving tall plants a sunnier side, perhaps even removing some of the shading high landings, and shade-loving plants plant next to them in their shade.

Create a luxurious look.

Do not be greedy, and do not plant all the beautiful varieties of flowers that caught your eye in the garden. Better choose 1-2 beautiful varieties, but create a really luxurious flower bed out of them by planting several bushes nearby.
It is important to learn how to grow very few plants - so for this arch near the gate, two varieties of climbing roses were chosen, but these are, indeed, healthy and well-groomed bushes that give abundant flowering.

Add contrast.

Where there is no interesting structure, use color. The mint thickets in the far corner of the garden do not have a particularly interesting aesthetic appearance, adding a container with contrasting foliage to these plantings, they got an excellent result.

Moreover, the contrast can be not only color, but also light. So white flowers in a shady corner of the garden will visually make it less gloomy, giving it an almost mystical charm.

Mix.

A beautiful garden and garden with your own hands means creating an informal, relaxing atmosphere. This can be achieved by combining plants in the garden in unexpected ways.

By adding some simple flowers next to your vegetable plantings, you can transform a simple vegetable garden into a triumph of the beauty and bounty of nature in your garden.

Agree that and good harvest brings no less aesthetic pleasure than a flower garden?


And enjoying the taste of homemade vegetables is another gift from nature for us.

Use unpretentious plant varieties.

A do-it-yourself garden and vegetable garden means organic products, preferably with minimal use of chemicals.

AND The best way avoiding the use of chemicals is choosing disease resistant varieties.

Before bringing a new plant to the site, take an interest in its resistance to diseases and pests so that it does not create problems for you or the surrounding plantings in the garden or vegetable garden.
This applies to both vegetables and fruits and flowers.

You can always find those plant varieties that will grow well in your conditions, without requiring your special attention and the use of chemicals.

Each has its own place.

Every corner in the garden has its own purpose, it has a right to exist and your love.

That's why compost bin and a barn - should not be grimy foundlings in your garden, but be as loved and well-groomed as flower beds and a vegetable garden.

In return, every corner in your garden will only delight you.

Think big.

When creating a garden and a vegetable garden with your own hands, it is important to plan planting not only on a plane, but to use the height difference - then your landscape design will be more intense and interesting. In this regard, those who have a garden on a slope are lucky - if there are certain problems, such a garden will always look like wins than flat plantings with a vegetable garden and a couple fruit trees in the corners.

The question often arises of how to cover climbing roses for the winter. In fact, you make a minimum of movements - you cover the roses with foil right on the arch.

A vegetable garden as a place for creativity.

While it may be too late to change anything in the garden this year, it is never too early to make a quantum leap towards a better garden in the future. Analyze what your vegetable garden looks like now, so that you would like to add, remove or change. Draw a plan.

Think, where are the gaps, where are the errors? Is your garden not as luxurious as you would like?
Visually fewer varieties in one place create a greater effect. Plant only one type of vegetables in the beds - then it will look denser.

Surprise yourself. Always try one or two new ideas per season.

Do your best. Don't give up because your space or time is limited. Start small - plant something that you admire.

True, they say that the most delicious vegetables and fruits are those that have grown in our garden. A DIY garden and vegetable garden will give you the most satisfaction out of life than anything else.

The garden plot can be significantly transformed. Using available tools and your imagination, you can make a real place for relaxation out of your garden.
