When you want something beautiful, but there is only an empty piece of land with two old trees, it is not at all easy to decide what to do with this piece. Applying the skills of professionals landscape design it's expensive. Is there really no simple budgetary way decorate the garden with materials at hand? There is!

"Rainbow" in the rose garden

It will take small area earth, ordinary stones and acrylic paint. In this case, the remains of the rose garden that have overwintered unsuccessfully serve as a test site.

By the way! Anything can come in handy, for example, tree cuts, from which you can build an excellent path for children and adults. It is better if the wood is dry. In any case, not wet.

This style of landscape design can be safely called "positivism". It is perfect if you have children, you love flowers and think that summer is the time for bright colors.

Now it would be nice to mulch the hole. But there is no mulch. But there are stones. Smaller pebbles can be used as mulch. Place small white pebbles around the trunk on level soil. Radius about 15 cm. If they are not white enough or even multicolored, you can touch up them right on the spot after installation with an acrylic white spray.

Large stones will have to be painted with a brush. Two layers of paint (one, and when dry - the second) is enough. Stones do not have to be painted on all sides - one of them will still lie on the ground.

Advice! Acrylic paints dilute halfway with water, otherwise they will be too thick and lie unevenly. Plus, they'll last for a long time.

A 200 ml can of paint is enough for about 60 large stones. Large stones painted in bright colours, will serve as a border for roses.

Green trim

After that, the fun begins. Around the rose bushes, according to the idea of ​​the author of the project, the emerald grass of the lawn will grow. This means that something else will be needed. Namely: sand or peat, humus, lawn fertilizer, grass seeds.

It is best to sow straight away sports lawn, which contains at least four types of herbs. You need to sow thickly. The area written on the seed box for which the seeds are intended, immediately multiply by two.

Advice! To keep the lawn even and uniform, the grass seeds are mixed with sawdust. It is not worth mixing with sand, it is heavier and will not give uniformity with light seeds.

Before sowing your lawn, finish placing decorative pebbles around the white mulch pebbles. It is not necessary to press the stones into the soil, it is enough just to put them on the surface. When the grass begins to grow, it will slightly cover the pebbles.

Next to the rose bushes, lay out a path of painted wood cuts. It is not necessary to make a continuous path, there are enough "steps" so that you can walk on them or stand on them to care for roses. While the young grass is growing, you should not trample it.

How to sow the perfect lawn

1. To prepare the soil, loosen it with a rake, breaking all the lumps.

   

2. Then scatter over the surface with a thin layer of humus (1 cm) and sprinkle on top with sand mixed with peat (2 cm).
3. No nutrient soil is needed as you have already laid under future lawn a layer of humus. But for greater effect, you can sprinkle the prepared area with starting lawn fertilizer in granules.
4. Then compact the soil. This does not require a special roller or even a large barrel. Two small sheets of plywood or whatever material you can stand on is sufficient. Put one sheet, stand on it, put the second next to it, go to it. And so on until the entire site is equal.

   

5. Now you need to water the soil well with water and you can sow seeds. They must be dry. When buying, pay attention to the packing date on the box. It is desirable that it was no more than two years ago.
6. Try to sow evenly in all directions. The thicker you sow, the denser the turf will be and the more stable the lawn will be.

   

7. Backfilling the seeds with soil. A layer of 1 cm is sufficient. Watering with shallow sprinklers so as not to erode the ground.

Advice! If there is no peat or sand, buy a construction sieve. Pick a dry soil in your garden and sift through a sieve. An excellent backfill will result.

If it is cool at night or an invasion of birds is expected, you can cover the crops with foil. Under the film it is 5-7 degrees warmer, the seeds will sprout faster. And the moisture necessary for the seeds to hatch will be better preserved in the shelter.

Advice! Ants from one anthill in a couple of hours can drag off half of your freshly sown lawn. To prevent this from happening, it is worth taking care in advance to neutralize ants, as well as slugs, which will gladly eat young grass.

Now all that remains is to wait for the blooming of roses and the regrowth of greenery. For all the beauty spent one weekend and a minimum of funds. Moreover, success is guaranteed, since there is nothing difficult in creating such a project. Looks very positive. Easy to care for. Causes admiration of neighbors and violent delight of children.

Flower "stream"

You have a summer cottage, a vegetable garden, a garden, a lawn, a flower garden, but something is missing. The soul asks for beauty. For example, to make an artificial reservoir with your own hands. No, not a pool, but at least small pond, or a trickle. But it's so hard! You need to dig a hole, carry cobblestones, buy a film or plastic container, tinker with aquatic plants, to acquire all sorts of mechanisms - filters, pumps. Do you think beauty is never simple? How it happens! Easy way acquire beauty without additional material and physical costs - a stream of flowers.

A flower stream is not even an element of landscape design, but a method. Unconventional way planting plants not in the usual flower bed, but in the form of a stream flowing from any container. All costs are to purchase the capacity. You can use an old clay pot, though.

Pot miracle

To create a flower stream, you will need a part of the site on which you were going to make another banal flower bed. Capacity - it can be: a pot, a jug, a bottle (any container from which the future "stream" will originate) and flower seedlings ready for planting. You can sow a stream with seeds, but in this case, firstly, you will have to wait with beauty, and secondly, it is not known how the seeds will sprout. The stream may turn out to be uneven and with “bald spots”. Seeds can be gnawed by birds, washed off the rain, and carried away by ants.

Ground cover plants

The choice of plants for the stream is not as obvious as it seems at first glance. Ground covers and creepers can be used.

Table. The choice of ground cover in accordance with the growing conditions.

Annuals

Along with ground covers, you can use many annuals to create a flower stream, only you should choose undersized varieties, no higher than 30-50 cm. The list of annuals for this purpose is huge. Limit only to those that sow in the ground in your climate. An impressive list - there are plenty to choose from.

By the way! Bulbous flowers will look effective. They can be planted close to each other, and weak and defective ones, if necessary, replaced.

You can use a tree stump instead of a pot.

Bulbous flowers and perennials

The "bulbous" version of the stream can be made of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, muscari, glamini (miniature gladioli), anemones, freesias, cyclamens and other perennials.

Root perennials can also be used. Will look great in the bed of primrose, chickweed, saxifrage, veronica, pansies, Carpathian bell, armeria, gerbil, daisies, liverwort.

No slope for the "stream"? Create it with a mound of earth

Creek planting

Having decided on planting material, having found a suitable jug, indicating the length and width of the future flower stream, you can start planting.

1. The earth is dug up, cleared of weeds, well leveled and moistened.
2. Then the plants are placed in pre-marked places.
3. Everyone is watered.
4. It is important to remember that ground cover plants grow rapidly, therefore, their planting zones must be limited, and shoots emerging "from the banks" of the stream should be regularly removed.

That's all, the flower stream is ready. It will require no more care than an ordinary flower bed - watering, feeding, removing dried flowers. The visual effect you get will surpass all your beauty dreams. Still think beauty is never simple?

Creation of a dry stream on the site

Growing up

Vines rank in the hierarchy ornamental plants special place. Their stems are flexible and unstable (in herbaceous annuals, among perennials, tree-like vines are found). But the vitality and the desire to grow "to the sky" are unparalleled. They only need support. Give the vines a foothold and they will turn your site into a fabulous blooming kingdom.

Vertical landscaping, for which vines are used, is a very important part of landscape design. If most plants can "cope" with horizontal surfaces, then fences, walls, pillars, balconies, terraces can be decorated only with the help of vines.

Too hot in the summerhouse in the summer? Create shade with climbing crops

What are vines good for?

1. For the most part, vines do not require a large area of ​​nutrition. They only need a little soil (half as much as any other plant) to give you much more than any other plant, leaf mass and flowers.
2. Vines can grow near the wall of the house, where the foundation passes and a layer of soil above the concrete is only 15 cm.
3. Vines can grow in tubs and flower pots.
4. Lianas are very resistant to drought, excessive moisture, many - to cold.
5. They do not need highly nutritious soil. Of course, they will not give up fertilizers, but even without feeding they will grow and bloom, and some will also bear fruit.
6. Annual vines are wonderful because their growth rate is up to 5 cm per day.

Advice! If you urgently need, already this summer, to decorate an unsightly wall or twine a pergola, a gazebo, a terrace with blooming greenery, seek help from Ipomoea, Dolichos, sweet pea, kvamoklita, kobee, nasturtium, ornamental beans. These fast-growing vines will cope with the decoration of the site perfectly.

Table. Annual vines and their characteristics.

Growing annual vines

In the cultivation of herbaceous annual vines there is nothing difficult. You can sow them directly into the ground (since these plants develop rapidly, it is better that the soil is loose and fertilized).

1. Sown at the end of May.
2. Shallow holes are made, 2-3 seeds are placed in each hole.
3. If the seeds are small, you can sow in the grooves. The depth is about two centimeters.
4. They water the crops and wait.
5. You won't have to wait long. In one and a half to two weeks, sprouts will appear.
6. After another two weeks, it is worth preparing supports for them (pull the ropes, install pergolas), along which they will climb.

If you want to get the flowering of annual vines earlier, it makes sense to grow seedlings first, and then plant them in open ground... Seeds are planted for seedlings in April, in separate peat pots (most grassy vines have a weak root system, which should not be injured during transplantation).
