Where to place a healing flower bed
Our task is to arrange a flower garden for the dacha, but not ordinary, but only medicinal, so that each plant for the flowerbed possesses useful qualities - curative or cosmetological.
Dug fairly roots - and cooked the infusion for the sake of rinsing the larynx, steamed a couple of flowers - and a fragrant soothing probably drunk. However, with all this, our plants should bloom beautifully or, for the last time, own expressive leaves. Fortunately, between the healing flora of such examples are 10-ki, however we will more carefully focus only on certain. A more usual verdict is to plant healing flowerbeds of fairly ready-made flower beds. It's not a secret that between specimens you need to eat specimens with lush buds and beautiful inflorescences
Instead of delphinium, it is permissible to plant a similar willow-tea, more recognizable like Kiprei, and hyacinths to change lavender. The appearance of the flowerbed will not change, every plant news is valuable for its healing qualities.
As it should, 2-3 bushes are rather small, it is better to prepare fairly flowerbeds, a different-level flower garden or to make a short chemist's complex consisting of flower beds, plants in pots or containers, which for winter can be reserved for a closed terrace.
Occupation in a book that is not without a pharmaceutical perennial can survive a serious winter, hence containers are a beautiful mobile means for the sake of seasonal scenery of the countryside. We advise, for the sake of pharmaceutical herbs, to"stake out"the flowerbeds near a residential building, a summer kitchen or a gazebo - in other words, a place where it is rather comfortable to do with plants in the next (prepare decoctions, tinctures, dry, etc.)
If there is such an ability, any place of a garden, a garden or even a place for the sake of children's games is suitable. The bottom line is that our flowerbeds should not interfere, but against, served as an ornament of the suburban area.
Useful plants for the sake of the flowerbed: planting, rearing, rearing
Almost all the healing herbaceous plants blossom. Some - small, infrequent inflorescences (yarrow), others - colorful buds (balan curative, digitalis). You can plant both, and others or connect them, creating magical compositions. A circle of clear blossoming plants is allowed to alternate with greens, because the leaves of many grasses look beautiful. For example, a kupena pharmaceutical recalls a lily of the valley, and chervil - a fern.
We consider the conditions for feeding those herbs that are familiar with youth, are freely sold in the pharmacy and are intensively used in domestic conditions. Each of the plants is safe, if not to win the dose. Also do not forget the relative personal intolerance and allergic reactions, hence the doctor's consultation before applying (or even garden tests) is indispensable.
St. John's wort - through all diseases
Our grandmothers did not grow St. John's wort, and collected the highest trunks with bright yellow flowers in the fields after the village. It is difficult to immediately find an unspoiled part with non-hazardous soil and plants, it is much easier to bring up useful grass in your country. And we sow the St. John's wort unswervingly for the flowerbed. St. John's Wort - perennial, this should take into account the arrangement of the flowerbed. The right blossoming begins at the end of the first age, and for the second year there is an uncountable and lush bloom
It is necessary to throw in the fall, so that in the spring there are strong shoots. We select the room closer to the center of the flowerbed, because the height of St. John's wort reaches 30 cm. We work the soil: digging with compost or peat, adding a little flower mineral fertilizers. The interval between rows is 40-45 cm.
We do not dig in seeds, but leave them for the surface, pressing it into the soil. To be arid and hot springs it is better to use the potato method of feeding, and to plant the ready-made sprouts in the land. After a month and a half, then germination is needed again, a single feed of nitroammophous - 2 g/m?. The main education due to St. John's wort is weeding and additional watering in the drought. Starting from the second planting age, give 150-200 g of dry raw material with 1 m?
Mint - for the sake of cheerfulness and freshness
An undemanding plant with a pleasant smell is grown in the garden, and we will plant it for the flowerbed.
Peppermint can not be puffed up by chic buds, everything is fine for the sake of edging larger, flowering herbs. One of the main advantages of mint is the undemanding to the conditions of feeding: it is well developed for any soil, withstands the arid interval, it develops well around the sun and the penumbra
Being an autumn planting in the ground, we introduce bio fertilizers - unsuitable, compost, wood ash. We need pre-prepared sprouts or cuttings of rhizomes. Taking into account the runaway gains, we leave the intervals in front of half a meter between the nests. In spring, mint requires abundant watering.
In order to manage the decorative effect and perform bushes smooth, the tops of the main stems pinch. Peppermint grows intensively, hence the upbringing consists in weeding, watering and infrequent loosening. For the sun the bushes will be more lush and tall, in the shade - small. Because of the excessive humidity, the mint may become"rusty". Do not rush to feed with chemical fertilizers (sometimes the disease appears according to their fault) - remove large twigs and put a little compost in the soil, new shoots will be awake
Solar calendula
The species of calendula is so much that it can be decorated with flowerbeds with the help of it. Elevating plants (through 20-centimeter in front of a meter) allows you to be different multi-tiered compositions. Some adore calendula because of its long flowering period. Due to the cold resistance of plants, they do not fade in the cold - before -5 ° C. The decorative abilities of marigold are unlimited: the excess of species (Hamlet, Favorite, Sensation, Kabluna, Medallion, Cute balloon, Meteorite, Radio) is rich in flowers through a gentle yellow in front of bright orange or light brown
Calendula, or"marigolds,"loves the sun and evenly wet earth. For the shaded area, the gains and stems and inflorescences slow down. Sow it better in October, steadily into the open land. The vernal crops will ascend and bloom much later.
Seeds are placed in the soil for a depth of 2-3 cm, we have a nesting method of 30x30. To be such planting plants will be the highest and lush. If you need a circle - we sow a"path"at intervals of 5-6 cm. In order to protect the calendula through powdery mildews and similar spotty diseases, before the flowering we process the trunks and leaves with the topaz gardening agent, and we remove the faded inflorescences and dry leaves by the way
Fragrant lavender
More popular varieties - lavender petiolate, Dutch, real, stahadic, dentate. Plants of different species differ in height, leaves, flowers and the shape of the inflorescence. Pink, blue and purple lavender serves in flower gardens for the creation of an expressive floral background or a cautious colorful border, mixed with snow-white, reddish and blue flowers, also with greens.
Lavender loves sunny areas and is intolerant to waterlogging, therefore in wetlands need small pebbles or raised flower beds. For the sake of acidity regulation, wood ash can be added to the soil, and for composting - compost, then flowering is rather abundant.
If it's difficult to fulfill all the conditions, get the quality of Lavender broad-leaved - it is undemanding and feels good for all soils. Be careful with nitrogen fertilizers - they have an effect on the development of stems and leaves, here like inflorescences become less lush. Lavender should be fed with potash fertilizers
A more ingenious way of reproduction - stem cords. We twist the branch, press it to the ground, sprinkle it and fix it with a load or a hairpin. For the sake of rooting should be pretty months. How the roots were formed, the cutoff is cut off, and the cut is treated with coal for the sake of protection.
Valerian - Cat Satisfaction
A calming drink for valerian drops is not only familiar to people, our pets - cats and cats of different breeds - are biting the dried roots with pleasure, because of which an unusual plant is called a cat grass. Small, fragrant, collected in large inflorescences pinkish-white flowers valerian faster background, therefore freely fit into any floral composition, besides they blossom for only the age that will only benefit our curative flowerbed
We sow seeds in July, then we will need a transplant in September. We make shallow grooves in the soil, put seeds and sprinkle them with nutrient soil, preferably humus.
After about a couple of weeks, sprouts will be visible, which are then transplanted for the permanent growth of the 4th leaf. The soil of the flower bed must also be enriched with humus, digested and loosened. Plants that will remain for the flowerbed for the sake of"wintering"should be fed with a nitroammon or similar fertilizer (containing phosphorus and nitrogen), rather 50 g for 1 m?
If plants are sown in the early spring, then they will give the main harvest of rhizomes to the glow, and summer planting will be useful only for the following year.
Sage - common healer
In the northern regions it is better to grow winter-hardy and useful varieties - Patriarch Semko, Drink, Aibolit, Wind. The listed future enter the State Register of the Russian Federation and are officially recognized as curative. Sage forms the highest, lush bushes of blue, hence the decoration of the flowerbeds is the best place is quite central or near the wall (fence), if the flower bed adjoins the fencing
For the sake of planting you need a land of medium acidity (before 6.5 pH), not a bad explanation. Evenly moistened loamy bottom will do. As a fertilizer, we use compost, humus and flower potassium-nitrogen feeds. Reverence: it is not recommended to sow seeds in areas where the sage relatives previously grew up. The ideal option - the bottom of beans, potatoes, cabbage or curvature
Seeds are planted in October or early spring, making a nesting method or grooves, with intervals of 25 before 45 cm. Make grooves 2 cm, sprinkled with loose ground. For one place, sage develops quite a long time - before 8 years.
Design of an apothecary flower garden
Let's start with the fact that the shape and size of the healing flower beds do not differ in any way from the usual ones. Imagine that you have already picked up pretty much the right plants, which are different in height, pomp, flowers and the size of the inflorescences. Our task is to correctly decorate the flower bed itself and plant plants for it for no reason, so that the whole work looked presentable, and did not resemble unconsciously and unraveled planted crops.
