Live pictures in vertical gardening: the rules of...

Live pictures in vertical gardening: the rules of plant selection and planting technologyThe individual owner equips the part for no reason, so that its design was unique, differed through the neighbors. Consequently, there are non-ordinary decorating techniques, with the help of which not only a horizontal place, but also a vertical is planted. Creative summer residents close the green decor with the ugly walls of the economic buildings, the ramshackle city and even manage to make the plants a barrier for the curious eyes of the neighbors. A new direction in landscape design is allowed to call phytoparticles. Compositions of living plants, placed in frames, look beautiful and especially. It seems to make a living picture, which plants to pick it up - let's talk about all this in more detail.
Like do the pictures live?
The essence of the new direction in the book, in order to live plants turn into an art object, replacing the canvas and paints for earth and flowers. The"live"view will always win from the drawn one, as it lives its own life, plays with colors and constantly changes. The road of the majestic artist Van Gogh beamed with new colors if it was recreated for a large wall with the help of living plants
The basis for phytoparticles are frames, iron nets and plywood, which are held together in a single holding frame. It is filled with soil and planted in plant cells for no reason, in order to make a known image.
Near the frame, the order of drip irrigation is carried out (if ever watered). An ugly tree city, who is placed"face"to the north, can start a true picture gallery if it is decorated with phyto-landscapes of various sizes
Instead of grids, it is possible to remove special hinged containers, which are fixed for support. Plants planted in containers make the compositions because of their own texture, different sizes and colors, and at the same time they can be changed anywhere, if the image failed. The height and texture of the picture frame can be completely different. The bottom line is that the framework has enough thickness to fill it with soil
Some designers do not make frames in phytocarbons. They make landscapes for the whole place of the wall of the house, the fence, etc.
Still lifes from succulents
More often as components of a living figure are succulent plants. They perfectly grow for all types of soils, do not fear changes in humidity and normally withstand the drought period (if the owner forget to water the composition by the way).
To make a picture, you will come in handy:
A finished or self-made thick frame (the lower stick is 4 cm wide).
Plywood sheet, the same size as the frame
Waterproofing matter for the sake of plywood (peel).
A fine-mesh net of metal of the same size
Land (clay soil, mixed in half with sand or small expanded clay).
Moh-sfagnum (not timely).
Carnations, a hammer, a construction stapler.
The suit is either varnish or wood.
Succulent plants.
Make a picture for no reason:
Close the plywood with a film, so that the land, who is pretty close to it, does not destroy the matter. Peel can even exist food, wrapped in a pair of layers near the plywood.
Between the straps of the frame, set the grid and fix it with studs or staples.
On the back of the frame, plywood is pinned with the insulated side inside.
Pinned to the plywood mounts, for which it is enough to handle the image (more than 2x).
The frame is painted or varnished.
While the rim dries up, plants are prepared: cuttings with a longish tail are cut, so that it's easier to intervene in the grid cells.
Lay out the plants in a suitable pattern unswervingly for the table, to determine the composition of the picture.
The frame is laid horizontally for food and filled through the grid with the ground. Do not forget to ram it, using a pencil for this.
If the soil fills the frame with the same network, sprinkle the earth with water from the spray gun.
Slightly sprinkle the wet soil with dry soil or cover with a layer of moss that will prevent the soil from spilling through the mesh, and begin landing.
Large cuttings are planted first.
Try to fill the frame without reason, as the size of the grid cells allows, because the succulents grow slowly.
Leave the composition ready for the moon to be placed in a warm place, where there are no direct sun rays.
Check the moisture of the ground with a toothpick. Water only here if there are no soil marks left for the toothpick.
As the plants moved to the profit (and this is consequently consistent with the young growths) - frankly hang your product for an unchanged room. The bottom line is to beware of sunny places if succulents burn. For winter, the pictures are taken to a heated place. Cuttings of succulents should be prepared from 1-2 days before planting in the picture, so that the cutting room could dry out and not decay
Wood frames do not adore the proximity of wet soil, therefore their inner parts should be primed with lacquer or disinfectant impregnation in advance
Dust or expanded clay, added to the ground, plays the occupation of the water store, hence even infrequent watering succulents continue to grow normally
Landscapes for walls and fences
If you want to make a live picture for the whole wall or to hide all around it old ramshackle city - use the container variation of decoration (phytomodule). They enjoy unusual popularity in Europe. Phytostenes differ through vertical gardens to those that designers painstakingly study the image of the placement of plants, in order to make a certain visual icon
Iron stems are also the basis of phytostens. They are strengthened to the base, for which floral masterpieces will be made. In the southern climate, such walls are made of perennials that do not freeze because of winter, because there are no severe frosts.
In the middle belt or northern areas it is more convenient to only make phytostenes from annuals . They give more colorful colors and colors, but you will not have to worry about hibernation. The iron framework is the main component of phytostens, because it is specifically for him that the full authority of the greenish picture, gaining mass from day to day, is held
Rules of gardening
Let's look at the main points:
Complete waterproofing of the base is carried out.
Between the frame and the base should remain 2-3 cm of space for ventilation.
The frame is reinforced to the wall with thick wooden bars, paving them between the metal and the building.
For the top of the frame a tube is laid for the sake of drip irrigation. The water in it will have to be pumped.
Capacity for the sake of plants can exist jute road or matter as felt, who does not fear decay and perfectly stores water.
For a jute road, pockets are made of the same material in which the plants will live.
It is allowed not to sew pockets, but to squeeze squares two huge canvases from felt, and to be planted act cuts according to the center of squares and there to plant plants.
Each plant before the planting for the wall is wrapped in felt or jute in order to win the dense soil condition.
Prof. landscapers for the sake of phytosthenes use the system of drip irrigation, laying a tube to each plant. However, this amount is needed for home phytosthenes.
And for the street it is enough to organize a small watering from above, because the water is quite poured according to the entire surface of the tissue and feed a separate flower. Even if you get water from the water - it drains from below and does not damage the landscape. Jute matter has the highest strength and hygroscopicity, therefore all the moisture drained from above is moderately sold according to the pores of the canvas and penetrated into the roots
Quilted two-layer felt also perfectly holds water, therefore it is allowed to plant even adult plants with a small clod of earth or grown for a hydrogel
Apart from pocket structures made of cloth, it is allowed to buy plastic container-type phytomodules in specialized stores. For more details on these systems, see for video.

Phytoides of Patrick Blanc
The most famous phytocharist was Frenchman Patrick Blank. He refused through the container method of decorating the walls, and invented a feeding system for hydroponics. All-season plants with which he adorns the walls live in felt plates.
Using the drip irrigation system , they are fed by mineral mixtures. For the sake of normal life plants do not need soil. They take oxygen from the air, and feeding from the water. Patrick Blank's phytoparticles attract the eye already for the initial stage of germination of seeds, because everyone is curious, for example, the appearance of a uniformly developing species
Patrick uses around the base of the iron frames. They are the connecting link between the walls and the phytocarbons. The frames are screwed with plastic waterproof frames. Specifically, they serve as an obstacle for the sake of hitting water for the wall and thereby protect the building through destruction.
Plates made of polyamide - porous, water-retaining material - are fixed for the outer side of the frame. Specifically, it will grow flowers.
The exclusion of Blank's idea in a book that plants are planted for the wall not by adults, but in the form of seeds. Approximately 30 seeds per square meter. Hence phyto-pebble must also be educated. But such plants are adapted to vertical living conditions at any time. They do not need to break through the adaptation span.
The finished image is able to live for a wall in front of 10 years. Dying plants are replaced with new ones.
Graffiti from moss - phytorrhaging
In modern fashion, graffiti from moss look. They are allowed to paint any vertical, which is in the shade. For example - for the front wall of the house to make his room or street name. Greenish letters attract the respect of every passerby. Moss images are very undemanding. They do not require additional dressing, the remainder of the drip irrigation. In wet places mosses grow without any care
The general order is consistent with the application
In order to make a similar design, you must first draw an extraordinary image with a construction pencil and cover the sketch with a mounting tape, so that it does not get out of the picture frame. For graffiti, it is better to take mosses growing in your area, because they have a higher level of survival, if they are in store
Next you need to make a paint from the moss:
We go into the coppice and cut off the pillow of the beautiful moss (If there is a forest nearby, buy a moss in the store).
Mix the unusual ingredients in the blender: brought moss + 2 cups of kefir + a glass of beer + 2 teaspoons of sugar + 3 teaspoons of corn syrup (it is allowed to change at least some fruit syrup).
The finished suit should be curdled. If the solution drains from the brush and does not drip, add moss and whisk again.
Apply the magic mash carefully for the wall. If the wall is not extremely porous - grind it in advance with coarse sandpaper. The mosses take root perfectly well for porous surfaces.
Cover the non-woven fabric from above, fixing it with the scotch tape.
To moss perfectly suited - at times spray the wall.
What future mosses are suitable for graffiti?
The individual visibility of the moss lives for a certain surface. For the sake of graffiti, one should choose those who will cover the earth or the corners of some abandoned concrete house. Mosses from trees for walls do not take root.
For the sake of phytorizing, according to the opinion of professionals, the future moss with a pillow-shaped form - Racomitrium or Leucobryum - is suitable. They grow even in the northern regions and normally develop for stony surfaces. 1. Racomitrium microcarpum. 2. Racomitrium woolly (Racomitrium lanuginosum). 3. Leucobrium blue (Leucobryum glaucum). 4. Dikranum sclerellum Hedw (Dicranum scoparium Hedw)
Suicidal atmosphere
If you want to do not a picture, but the installation of an ancient garden, decorate the moss with an old environment. Moss makes the action of abandonment and antiquity in the garden, hence they are allowed to cover any surface - through sculptures in front of old shoes
For this you need:
Wash an old wooden chair
Gluing it with wet stripes of newspapers (like papier-mache). Newspapers are wetted by water.
Sprinkle from the spray gun in accordance with the entire surface of the PVA glue, diluted with water
Wrap the chair with a soft wire, so that the mosses are izza who handle.
Collect the cushions of living moss in the forest (or, better, make a chair in a forest, where the building material is pretty close to the hand).
There are roots through the earth, sprinkle them with glue and press down on the surface of the chair.
Lay the moss tightly, so that there are no lumbago.
For the sake of fixing strength, use toothpicks that are allowed to poke into each moss pad and engage because of the wire. However, insert around the corner so that someone unintentionally does not sit down for the toothpick blade. Then the moss retainers should be pulled out.
The finished mossy product is sprinkled with water and put in a shady room. Humidify the chair should be daily, in the course of the month. For the sake of fitting the furniture, the visibility of moss-sphagnum, who grows everywhere, has a high survival rate and a beautiful lush texture is suited successfully
Carpets-paintings for beds
Painting and decoration landscape designers spread not only for vertical surfaces, but also for flower beds. Elegant appearance is known for unjustifiably called carpet flower beds, where plants and their position recall the pile texture of the carpet.

To make similar it is easy. The main thing is the right choice of plants. For the sake of the carpet flower gardens, low crops with dense foliage are used, capable of filling the designated area with a continuous filling. To make an image, combine 3 types of plants:
low perennials (clearings, lilies of the valley, etc.). They draw the main decoration;
low budding annuals (ageratum, alisum, marigold and about.). They make color spots;
ground cover plants (viable, periwinkle). Used for the general background of the picture.
The development of carpets is limited to 4-5 species of crops. A larger number splits the image, lubricates the overall picture. For the drawing of contours, gravel, dust, decorative pebbles, colored parts, bark, etc. can be extracted. Carpet flower compositions have a truly royal appearance, so this way decorate the front entrances and the central flower beds in the garden
It seems like a rug:
Smash the flower bed, without using any fertilizer and humus. The poor bottom is enough to keep a restless profit of plants and will maintain a similar height of the carpet.
Draw the strip of the pattern with a sharp stick, and then cover them with a little sand from the bottle.
In accordance with the lines of the pattern, delimiters are inserted (curb tape, cut plastic bottles, etc.), so that plants do not climb up to someone else's place. They dig deep, leaving 2-3 cm above the ground
Next, individual layers are thrown out with decorative material (if such is used).
The final step is planting the plants. Planting begins through the center to the edges, placing the seedlings seems to be denser. Specially dense plantings make the carpet structure of the flower bed.
In order to maintain the image of the flowerbed - you need to pinch the tops of plants from time to time, cut extremely long specimens and do not forget about watering.
You see, it's not difficult to start an artist. Few fantasies - and your part is a pretty true picture gallery.

Ideas for decorating the suburban area: we learn...

Ideas for decorating the suburban area: we learn to use the waste and old rubbishUnique landscaping scenery is always very expensive, if you buy them in stores or prohibit from skilled craftsmen. Having shown a fantasy and having put a little work, it is allowed without the help of others to perform unorganized decor. It's not quite appreciated a penny. Moreover, you finally get rid of unnecessary things and utilize some of the building materials after repair. All-in-one in your hands. If they are gold, then even unfit will reincarnate in the charming and all-purpose dacha scenery. Give trash the newest magic existence!
Unique flower beds of old things
It is allowed to start with the most common - crafts from old things that have served their own time. Probably everyone in the country has to eat a piece of such things, about which they say:"There is no need to store anything, but it's a pity to throw it out."It can have different capacities - buckets, watering cans, rusty barrels, as well as children's toys, an ancient dress, shoes, furniture. Any of these things can begin with a cute landscape decoration and"work according to the newest specialty"like at least a single, and even quite a few seasons.
It's easier to just make flowerbeds out of junk. Let's analyze fairly thoughts.
For example - a short flower pot from a child's ball. All-time, which is useful - it's a ramshackle ball, a weapon that is fairly comfortable to share it, and little patience. For the sake of producing such a pot, you just need to wash the rubber ball, carefully divide it in the center and make small holes in the"bottom"of the newest capacity. Variations - do not blow the ball, but extract a pallet-stand for the sake of a small flowerpot
2nd variation - flower beds in old containers. For the sake of small flowerbeds, dural and plastic basins, watering cans will be needed. If there is a barrel - this is a true jewel. From it is allowed to perform a funny figure. In addition to the barrel itself, paints and brushes will be useful. This is a non-trivial embellishment done before the pain is simple. An old barrel must be wiped off through rust, painted, painted, filled with soil, and planted with flowers. Without a break!
Another variation of the design of the container is cloth or burlap. Tazes and barrels are allowed not to decorate, but to cover with an old cloth. If it is monophonic, then a rather interesting image is appropriate. These figures are made of ordinary barrels, covered with burlap. The capacity is simply"put"in a pocket of the right size, pulling and securing the road. It looks like the highest pot. In order to resurrect it, paint pretty enough a face and put on a figure for a figure of an old rope
If you just bury a bath in the ground and decorate with flowers, it looks pretty nice, but it does not seem to cause ecstasy. But if you collect the pebbles, the rest of the arrangement of the well or foundation pit, and to peel them with unnecessary plumbing, it is allowed at once to get rid through the baths, not to sing from the site of a pebble and at the same time to receive an elegant landscape decoration. As a binder for the sake of laying a stone, it is permissible to take a cement frost-resistant mush for the sake of external work.
Order of work:
You need to get a pit in accordance with the size of the bath, install the plumbing and cement.
If a cement site with a capacity is quite ready, lay a decorative stone slide.
The remaining stones are placed near the makeshift pond and cemented.
If the cement dries, water is poured into the tub or left empty for the collection of rainwater.
Then only a part near the stone pond is decorated with vegetation, flowers, set up benches or left in its original form. The trimmed pool retains the shape of the bathtub. It can be modeled with the help of pebbles. The best way to choose is a form that will allow you to comfortably clean the pond through garbage and dirt
Swan-pot from the bottle and putty
Close to the stone pond, it is possible to arrange a pair of wondrous swans for the sake of production of which will be useful construction waste and two 5-liter plastic bottles.
The skeleton for the sake of the swan's body will serve as a cut bottle of a square shape, which for the sake of weighting is filled with cement-sandy substance or any other filler. The neck is made of iron rod. It is bent in the form of number 2, inserted into the neck of the bottle and fixed. The neck is one of the hardest parts. In order to fasten the rod firmly, it is allowed to remove the tile adhesive. And for the sake of the correct finish of the cervix putty will need ordinary honey bandage. It is soaked and wrapped around each new layer, pressing it to the base
The pieces of the net are attached to the bottle, trimmed according to the shape of the wings. Finished frame trim with putty. It is more difficult to just form the neck and head from putty, you will have to show patience so that they will come out beautiful and smooth.
The tail is made of a piece of the same mesh and putty. If the product dries completely, it must be sanded and painted, and the weighting agent should be removed from the bottle in order to make a furrow. The figure of a swan is not an ordinary decoration for the sake of a garden or an artificial reservoir. It is allowed to plant plants with a shallow root system. Get a beautiful pot, perfectly proper for installation near a stone pond from the bath
Who is allowed to execute the waste?
Then the completion of the repair always remains abundantly of a wide variety of waste. Almost without them they can be used for the arrangement of the site. Even the building waste is not useless.
For example, from tiles removed from the wall in the kitchen or bathroom, you can lay out beautiful garden paths or curbs. The former in use drywall or plastic is all suitable for the creation of necessary and aesthetic handicrafts.
Variation #1 - Plasterboard and Faner
Drywall, plywood, OSB-boards - universal materials. Cutting them for pieces of a suitable size and fastening with the mounting profile, it is permissible to make breathtakingly beautiful pots, arrange a little house for a tree for the sake of a baby , perform useful luggage for the design of a gazebo, strong bird feeders . A lovely burenka is made of plasterboard. In order to perform it, you just need to collect a square pot from the GKL, fasten the face, paint it and place it for the leg through an old stool
Variation #2 - tin and stainless steel
Of tin and stainless steel can make a lot of fascinating crafts. Pieces of material are suitable for the production of garden lighting fixtures, ashtrays, urns, hinged containers for the sake of seedlings or flowers. In circulation, even tin cans from paint and glue compositions will go.
It looks like a lighting device from a jar, you can see it in a video:

Variation #3 - Timber
In the economy it will be all around, mostly if it is"all"- part of the lumber. Logs, slats, boards are great for the creation of containers, boxes, shelves, racks, systems of vertical gardening, supports. A used parquet board can start with a lovely Losharik container, if you add a funny horse face and a mane of twigs. The figure can be painted or varnished
Variation #4 - heat insulating materials
Some foil-insulated heaters are useful for developing garden figures . They are allowed to beat the outside of the sculptures. The felted view perfectly fits for the sun and highlights an artwork for the garden background. However, for the sake of a heat insulator, there may be a more convenient application - thermal insulation of greenhouses, utility rooms.
For the video below, ideas for crafts from foil or foil insulated heat are presented:

Variation #5 - unfit and part of brick
Bricks and building blocks can be removed, even if they are split. These are impeccable materials for the construction of fences, curbs, flowerbed design.
In the garden will look great fairy-tale castles, pillars-lamps. From the brick it is allowed to lay out the bases for the sake of a strong table, benches in the arbor. Brick can be used to divide the site. Cladding separates flower beds through garden plants, in order to accent decorations for decoration
Even more thoughts for the sake of decor: video examples
The human imagination is unlimited, and some summer residents have learned to use the most useless materials for the main eye. Check out their experience:

Accumulated property in the apartment? Do not leave it for a lived-up square meters, carry for the dacha! Bottles, tiles, old pants, construction equipment, waste - there is room for everything.
Bulk materials will become wonderful statues, and bottles are real palaces. Even if the garden decor only lasts for a single season, you will rather like to look at it. If he lives longer, you will have an excuse to be glorified with your golden hands. Do not miss this hope!

We equip the playground for children with things...

We equip the playground for children with things from improvised materials: top 5 unusual ideasDo you want to change the rest of your little ones by turning the tools at hand into arable land for the sake of creativity? Here you use to be the arrangement of a playground and the manufacture of gaming equipment, a lean property that has served its own term and natural materials that have not been used in the farm. Be convinced that the playground made by your hands is always quite filled with laughter and dull voices of children playing for her.
Variation #1 - water maze
A spectacle with water is one of the most beloved occupations of kids of any age. They are able not only to entertain an inquisitive kid, but also to cause them to take the world around us. To get pleasure through communicating with aqua elements is allowed, having arranged for the grass in the playground area improvised water pipe labyrinth
Pick up a water pipe labyrinth is allowed from the tanks of any size. For the sake of this goal, use frank:
plastic bottles
a dilapidated teapot with a spout
flower pots and pots
iron bowls and bowls
However, all the same, it is better to extract plastic bottles to be the arrangement of the labyrinth. They are comfortably divided like povodol, unreasonably and across, giving the desired shape. Some of the bottles are allowed and completely screwed with plastic lids, pre-drilled into their small holes.
The tanks should be placed slightly for a vertical plane without cause, so that the water flows smoothly from one to the other, descending to the foot of the structure. For the sake of creating grooves and tunnels, it is convenient to extract polypropylene rigid or hilly freely bending tubes of different diameters. As a reliable, however lightweight support, it is easier to use a city, a tightly fixed trellis or one of the walls of a house near the division of a structure
Interesting fun for the fresh air is a rather catchy attribute of the area for recreation and will easily turn an ordinary day off into a jubilant holiday
Variation #4 - a musical fence with a xylophone
Noise instruments contribute to the development of the musical and creative abilities of children, not to mention the joy that the children's orchestra brings to their children. By combining various"noise sounds","thundering","ringers"into a single design, you can design a musical wall. Noise tools made from the tools at their fingertips will force the toddler to hear the breathtaking light of sounds
For the creation of a musical wall will be required:
empty cans
Iron covers
plastic bottles
old cutlery
In principle, it is permissible to extract any kitchen environment from which it will be possible to take sounds. Plastic bottles can be freely adapted around the rattle, filling them with old buttons or seeds of persimmons and apricots, and then hanging them for a strong thread to the shield.
The iron corners and old disks, which are fairly suspended for an old hanger, will always be in contact with each other and will produce a tone similar to bells. In order to transform the shells through nuts into a"ratchet", and the plastic caps through bottles into"gremelki"will need a minimum of strength and skill
Varying the methods of the spectacle, the child is pretty much analyzing the sounds, creating close to him musical images and making the first steps in music making.
For the sake of creating more muted, but not inferior to the melodic sounds, you can and completely design a xylophone. The tool outside recalls a short shield, which includes in front of 20 woody plates connected between themselves in a sequential scale. Collect a xylophone from 10-15 wood bars. The longest board can achieve 50-60 cm, and the next one should exist for 3-4 cm shorter than the previous one
In order to provide young musicians through splinters and scratches, a separate bar is cleaned with sandpaper. Each"note"with the help of a marker marks the middle. Stepping back through the center, 4-5 cm in each direction, mark the points near the hole for the sake of fixing the rope. In accordance with the intended contour, attach the rope, fixing it with nails or clips for no reason, so that the gap between the bars was more than 1.5 cm.
Be hanging the xylophone, direct attention to the angle: it determines the sound of the instrument almost in everything. Fun with sounds is a safe way to the beginning of improvisation, thanks to which the child successfully formed image-associative thinking
Such a spectacle for the fresh air will help develop the imagery of the perception of music, opening to children a spacious freedom for the sake of manifesting their own"I."
Variation #5 - the stone grotto of the"elves"
All the way without exception, kids love to live time, constructing various shelters. They can spend hours in the garden, building fabulous huts from the branches, blankets and curtains, and then decorating their own home.
All these buildings have a single unpleasant flaw: to be careless in the process of active games, they can literally collapse for eyes. Take the initiative in the bait of your hand and suggest that you build a small house for the sake of young fidgets more easily. Having erected an unnatural house of"elves", you will provide the children with your place and give young dreamers to be able to bring up fantasy
An unnatural little house that looks like a stone cave on the outside, it's easy and interesting to act. The room near its ennobling is better to choose for an open and perfectly viewed from all sides of the site. Its appearance is smoothed, purified through pebbles and plant roots.
For the production of an elven house, you will need:
a piece of tarpaulin or a dense polyethylene film measuring 2.5x2.5 m;
reinforcing wire mesh
wire ties
d20 mm plastic pipe
M300 concrete, sifted dust and water.
For the sake of work, it is permissible to extract an iron reinforcing mesh, for no reason, made of polypropylene.
Materials should be prepared:
scissors for metal work
a container for mixing the solution
plaster trowel
пульверизатор;
Insulating tape;
Protective gown, gloves and goggles.
The prepared base is lined with a layer of tarpaulin. This will facilitate the next step of cleaning the structure of the remnants and pieces of loose, hardened cement consistency.
First we construct a circle of the base of the frame. For this, cut a pipe length of 5 meters and connect its ends between themselves. It is easier to assemble the circle only by closing the ends of the pipe with a butt by using the connecting tube of the smallest diameter, fixing the joined edges through the wrapping of the tape ...
Vertical carcass arches are built using the same PVC pipe d20 mm. For this, take 4 equal lengths according to 3.5 m. From the segments form arches, placing them at a right angle to each other. The edges of each segment are fixed to the base, moderately filling the gaps along the entire circumference.
For vertical arches fix two horizontal cross-members: the bottom one is 4.7 meters long, the upper one - 3.4 meters. The crossbars are positioned on the outside of the frame, fixing them to the arches with electrical tape.
In order to collect the walls of the cave, the finished frame is wrapped in a reinforcing net. Provide a reliable fastening will help wire ties, which must comply with the entire plane every 250 mm. For the sake of creating a more reliable design, the mesh is applied in 2-3 layers.
After mapping the room near the ennobling of the doorway, using the scissors for the sake of the wire cut off the excess portion of the grid and bend the edges. In accordance with the same principle, a small window is made against the doorway.
The walls of the house are"erected"from a cement slurry diluted in a separate container, laying it out for a mesh net and moderately distributing along a vertical surface
Apply cement consistency only in protective latex gloves, the dense construction of which protects the delicate skin through"corrosive".
Laying out a ready-made mash for the grid, it's cool not to press, if you press it, it's pretty much falling through the cells. For the sake of the creation of strong walls, the solution is spread in a pair of layers, withstanding the application of each next time space in 5-8 hours. For this step, do not rush. Labor-intensive action can fall for a number of days. If the plaster dries extremely dry, apply a spray of water or an ordinary hose before applying the next layer.
If the wire base begins to sag by the weight of the plaster consistency, before the moment the solution hardens, support the walls with wood bars.
Spreading a separate discharge of plaster, and after waiting for it to acquire the required strength, you need to adjust the convexity of the surface with the help of a plaster trowel. Then applying the last layer, it remains just to align the walls of the cave a little, neatly clearing the flaws, trying to keep with all its"natural"visibility
For the sake of building protection through precipitation and giving it a more representative appearance, cover the outer and inner walls with oil or water-based paint. Of course, for the creation of such a cave you will have to make a lot of effort. However, the result will justify everything: children's happiness is not quite enough. Small dreamers and young fans of elves will live happily in their own new fairy-tale"house".
Be willing, you can even build up pretty pretty caves, creating a short town for the sake of role-playing games of children with reincarnation in fairy-tale characters.

How to make a mini-pond of tires on a summer...

How to make a mini-pond of tires on a summer residence: a collection of ideas and a master classThe idea to construct an unnatural reservoir for a dacha comes to the mind of many land owners. Certainly, this key of coolness and positive feelings will amuse not only the owner himself, but also his guests, becoming the true highlight of the landscape. The only sight of aqua smoothness helps a person relax, adjusts for lyrical harmony, causes tides of inspiration. However, having critically estimated only 6 hundred parts of its own plot, some are abandoned through their own dreams. And in vain! We will tell you about the book, like to embody it in existence, having made a mini-pond out of a tire for your dacha with your own hands, and at the same time to take out old rubber that you do not like.
We select a room for a mini-pond
Imaginary mini-pond is forced to cheer and entice universal respect. Therefore, the premises where he is compelled to occupy, should be chosen predominantly painstakingly. There are fairly rules that we advise you to follow, so that the election is successful:
The reservoir is not forced to exist for the sun non-stop. The penumbra is the best room for him. In an unpleasant situation, the plants are extremely hot, and they will fade, well, the water will bloom brightly.
Open and purged places are also not ideal.
If you construct a pond near the crowns of trees, the water non-stop enough to clog up leaves and small debris. The cleaning action is quite constant for you and quite relaxing.
Great, if the pond is quite clearly visible from various points of view. Let it reflect beautiful objects: running clouds, a building or trees. Know which small ponds are best looked, if for them you look from above. Consequently, they are often placed in natural landscapes. In such a place, the mini-pond is quite clearly visible from various points of view. In addition, it will not be near constant exposure to direct sunlight
If you doubt your choice, arrange for yourself to check. Take the cake of the tselofan, who pretty designate the mini-pond, and put it for your chosen room. Take a walk in accordance with the site and see how it is excellent from the main points of view.
Where can I find a suitable tire? For the sake of implementing a large-scale project and the size of the wheel must be impressive. After all, there are wheels, the diameter of which exceeds the human profit. Using them as a base, you are allowed to construct a whole lake! Car tires come in different sizes. Such a Gulliver between them is not so difficult to find, and it is unlikely that if the size of the plot does not exceed the standard 6 sotkas
For the sake of huge objects must own:
car tire through KAMAZ;
rear wheel through Belarus tractors
rubber through the mighty BELAZ.
If your garage does not have a stale tire of its own, then the proper unit is allowed to be found in the tire changer. There is often accumulated unnecessary rubber, to be recycled, therefore it will get to you free of charge.
Recycled tires can be found for auto companies. Probably, which there also have to pay, but purely symbolically. Ordinary motorists can also offer, the one you are looking for. For no reason that you view their ads. The issue of recycling tires is not only acute in our country, but also in the world. Our craftsmen contribute to its verdict
How pretty is your body of water?
In a tiny reservoir, it is unlikely to get fish. Although goldfish from the aquarium can feel good and in a small artificial pond. However, this building is allowed to decorate and other methods. For example, according to its shores, it is allowed to land a Siberian iris.
Beautiful companions of any pond will be
water lilies
Turchin garnered;
floating regd.
In the end, it is permissible to use artificial jewelry, which imitate the same lilies, but do not require attention. For its surface, small imitations of ducks can look great, and, according to the shores, turtles. Plants planted near an artificial reservoir are able transform it into a favorite recreation area for the sake of all family members
Rubber base should be firmly covered with decorative flagstones for no reason, which will never come to anyone's mind, how a mini-pond was formed for your site. Often the satellites of aquatic structures are small alpine hills, which, at the right time, solve the problem of creating shadows.
For the sake of providing an additional effect, it is allowed to illuminate the structure with the help of garden lighting devices working for solar batteries. All the energy that they accumulate in a sunny day, they spend a night in the form of a soft, mysterious glow. The scenery of the pond also has its opposite side - they entice the reverence of children who love to amuse themselves in such a fabulous place
What your mini-pond desire is, it should be kept in mind that for the sake of small kids left unattended, it can start a source of threat.
Step-by-step instruction
Every work is preceded by a preliminary stop. It is necessary to collect together a complete need tool and matter, so as to allow less distraction while performing work.
Stop #1 - we prepare weapons and materials
We need a little tool:
two types of shovels: bayonet and shovel
building height;
electronic jig saw or ordinary hacksaw, according to metal.
Apart from the tire, with the width of which we have already determined, we will be useful:
PVC peels or special covering materials for swimming pools, who are sold in specialized stores
пыль;
щебенка;
huge pebbles for the sake of pond shore design
plants for the decoration of the reservoir and the edging.
If everything you need is prepared, you can start to work.
Stop #2 - prepare the tire for work
Despite the fact that we are going to bury the tire, for the first step of work it should be eaten through mud. However, its preparation for this will not end. We need to answer its higher part. Trimming the highest part of one of the sides of the tire can be made with a sharp knife, an electric jigsaw for a low speed or a hacksaw for the sake of working according to metal
It is unlikely that an ordinary knife will do for this purpose. We recommend using a jigsaw that works for low speed. It is allowed to use a hacksaw according to the metal, however here for this operation it will be necessary to spend more time and effort.
Stop #3 - digging a furrow for the sake of a water body
Before, like to perform a furrow, should level the area. Now we must determine how we wish to close the rubber base of the future construction.
It can exist:
Immersed in the soil for the entire width of its own tread;
is buried for one third of the
be preserved for the surface of the prepared area
Based on the decision, we dig a pit. Its appearance should correspond to the outer diameter of the tire, but with small allowances according to its entire circumference. Do not all deepen the rubber base in the pit: if you throw a rubber edge for the surface, rainwater will not quench the capacity.
Before installing the tire in the resulting furrow should level the bottom and sleep it with sand for about 15 cm. The dust is forced to exist soft and without pebbles. In this case, he will be able to protect through the damages the gasket placed for the bottom of the reservoir, and water leakage will be avoided. To form a depression near the tire, it is necessary to perfectly dust the place of the future bottom of the mini-pond and check the level of the quality of the work done
At the level we check the property of the work done. Do not forget to compact the bottom and then just put a rubber base for it. After that, once again use the level, in order to check the horizontal location of the tire.
Stop #4 - waterproofing structure
For the sake of waterproofing, it is better to extract a strong covering substance, who is intentionally intended to protect the bottom of the pools. Bribing him is permitted in specialized stores for the sake of swimming pools. Sometimes it can be found between products for the sake of the garden. The matter must be taken in such a way that, because of the wall of the tire, it protruded for about half a meter.
Of course, we give importance to a special waterproofing material, not an ordinary cephalic. Someone can make an objection, which is why our building becomes less capable for self-creation, for the creation of which they use, usually, improvised materials. However, it is better to perform a design that will serve you for more than a year without changing the bottom. After all, even a very full integer will not be able to withstand the load and will certainly give a shower.
However, the individual owner personally accepts the sentence, which it is better for him to extract the matter. Choosing an ordinary cellophane, consider its substitution, if you will strengthen the walls of the future pond. Probably, the building will have to be decomposed. If you even excuse the polyethylene film twice, it will let you pour. In order to change it, a mini-pond will have to be bought, hence the apogee of the structure will have to be dismantled
Consequently, the cover material is distributed freely according to the bottom of the pit, and its edges are outward for half a meter beyond the edges of the tires placed in the furrow.
The membrane of the material must be correctly distributed inside the tire. For the sake of this goal, the future suburban mini-pond is flooded with water, which is quite a burden for the bottom and wall of the structure. Near its pressure the reservoir will perceive its shape. Take the time for a benign job and you will get a brilliant result that you can enjoy in the course of a couple of years
Now the covering material should be painstakingly spread. In order to fix the cover in a suitable position, it is allowed to press it with rounded stones, laid for the bottom on the opposite sides.
Stop #5 - form the walls and decorate the pond
We smooth the edges of the material and sprinkle them with sand and rubble. This will completely fix the membrane. Now it will not slip. Dust will also serve as the basis for the forthcoming decoration of the pond.
The upcoming fortress and prikrasa of the reservoir all depends on the imagination of its creator. For the initial step, it is allowed to simply lay the pond with stones. If you can find a huge tire, you can perform a mini-pond not only for the sake of children, but also for the sake of adult family members
Variants of placement of pebbles depend on the degree of functionality of the structure:
For bathing. If the tire was a huge tire, then a similar building can be removed even for bathing. The shores of such a pond should not be overloaded with stones. With the help of their pretty collect the pad near the walls. A huge number of pebbles can lead to injuries to bathers.
For decorative purposes. If a reservoir is needed just for the sake of making a beautiful icon, it is permissible to dream up with the arrangement of pebbles, so that the beauty of their kind is allowed to be more fortunate. In this case, do not be afraid to punish their sharp edges. They look beautiful.
The pebbles are allowed to spread in fairly rows, placing the rounded and large stones on the bottom, and the pebbles are much smaller on top. Even the bottom of the mini-pond is allowed to decorate with an attractive medium-sized pebble of round shape, taken from a river or brought from the sea. But dust with gravel for the sake of decorating the bottom is better not to extract, because the water through them can begin to cloudy. Do not overload the mini-pond with decorative elements. He is unreasonably beautiful. Even in the style of miniaturism, it remains a beautiful place that attracts the eye.
In any garden, for no reason through the will of its owners, there is an excess of small animals. It can exist, for example, moles, hedgehogs or mice. If you do not wish to find in the water in the daytime a corpse of the ill-fated hedgehog, place a picturesque snag in the pond. It will not only make the external appearance of the structure natural, but also help the animal avoid death.
In order to visualize the full operation of the work, look at the video:

Other ideas according to the device of such a pond
If you think that a pond from a single tire is all that could generate the imagination of Russian craftsmen, you are deeply mistaken. Variants of using autoresins for the sake of creating reservoirs are a majestic excess. And about the most favorite of them, we will tell you without delay.
If you take not one, but two tires of equal or even different sizes, you are allowed to execute not only, but two ponds, which will border together with protectors. The most fascinating in this structure is its decorative design. For example, at the junction of the two rubber bases it is allowed to construct a beam bridge from birch logs. It can exist like a decorative, causeless and a continuation of the garden path.
By changing the degree of penetration of tires, it is permissible to make ponds with overflow. For the sake of this, one tire is fixed to the surface of the site, and the other is buried. With the help of this overflow, it is just right to organize the removal of rainwater flowing from the roof.
For the base of ponds with overflow it is allowed to perform a domestic waterfall. For the sake of this, it is necessary to deceive the hose to the upper tank, from which, near a feeble pressure, offer water. He is allowed to neatly camouflage stones, located on the coast. Water, overflowing the higher part of the structure, runs pretty beautifully into its lower half, imitating the waterfall.
If the view of your site allows, then why does not desire to construct such a beautiful waterfall, the base of which is all the same tires ...
The water in summer is one that no one baby can throw a phlegmatic. A large tire will allow for easy and simple execution. Children have enough, in which to splash around with the supervision of adults. A naive splashing pond is ideally surrounded by a coastal zone of tiles, so that it is safe for it to step barefooted feet. In order to provide children, the water in such a pool must be cleaned. For this purpose it is permissible to remove the pump. And it is allowed to change the water more often.
A good idea for the sake of reviving the pond can begin the introduction of a fountain in it. For the sake of this, it is permissible to adapt a turbine with a nozzle for the sake of an aquarium or a short pump. In order for the fountain to work, it must provide power supply. Do not forget to provide for yourself: the electrical wire must be isolated with the help of a corrugated pipe and buried.
Look, it looks like the building of a fountain from a tire:

Even if there is absolutely no sign in the garden for the sake of the reservoir, using a tire, it can be performed for a balcony, for a terrace or a loggia. To make the design a nice visibility will help artificial stones, which can be affixed with a composition for the aqua base to the side surface of the tire.
Naturally, this list of thoughts is unrealistic to end, because the human imagination knows no boundaries. Look at this video - we are not deceiving you:

The garden of mosses: the secrets of creating...

The garden of mosses: the secrets of creating decorative green masterpieces at your dacha Moss is a resident of wet and shaded forests, hence we sometimes encounter it in life and not enough that we know relative to this unusual plant. In fact, sometime ago, he could change the honey bandage and point the way to stray mushroom pickers. Adherents of an ecologically clean home until now use dried plants for the thermal insulation of the house. And we are more interested in the decorative side of the moss: it is permissible to extract it in landscape design and without the help of others grow for the country.
"Velvet carpet"like decorative decoration
Mosses are unusual and according to their own structure, and according to the style of life. As a reward through other dacha representatives of the flora - trees, grass, blooming plants - they do not have roots and flowers, all outgrowths replacing the leaves, possess an inimitable decorative effect. Different coloring, through bright green in front of red and brown, allows you to make unusual velvety lawns, paint alpine hills and rockeries,"age"brick fences, tree stumps and stone framing of reservoirs
The first to begin to extract moss in landscape design attentive to trifles the inhabitants of the country of the rising sun. They saw that small thickets in a certain, comfortable for their environment, live and develop no worse than garden plants, and in some cases their outward appearance eclipses them.
Again in the 14th century, Japanese monks made a park of mosses Sayhodzi, who, little changed, exists until now. A variety of future mosses and lichens cover small islands, pebbles, tree trunks, soil with a dense multicolored lawn, creating an atmosphere of peace and quiet
The tradition of extracting moss in landscape design has spread to Europe, and then to other continents, to regions where the climate has to grow.
A more popular decor reception, proper for the sake of a summer plot, is the product of a mossy stone, which is part of a stone garden or rock garden. Half covered with greenish velvet, the rock takes on a completely different appearance - the older, unclear, unnatural. Mosses and lichens organically fit into the composition of coniferous forest trees: covering the lower parts of the trunks, they at once protect them through droughts and overheating.
Choose the future that you will extract: if you decide to decorate the rock, remove pads from pebbles, wood moss will decorate tree trunks, and a young carpet covering the soil will be needed for the design of alpine hills and lawns
The thickets of moss can be found in the town. Visit the old parks and squares, the oldest architectural monuments with the highest stone fences, overgrown ponds - somewhere you will certainly stumble upon a curly young carpet. Try to find the kind of more types that are different, different in height, color and growth criteria. You can experiment with them, choose suitable plants for your site, more resistant plants
Choose mature, healthy specimens that are rich in color and density. Do not tear out the plants and do not cut off their tops. It's right enough to dig a little cushion from all sides and carefully divide it from the base.
Try not to spoil the decorative upper part and lower outgrowths. Collected pads (pieces of mossy humus) carefully folded into a braid, for which the bottom is laid wet cloth. Filling the braid, be sure to cover the standards, so that they do not get direct sunlight and moisture does not escape beforehand.
Aspects of the correct planting of moss
Let's start with the fact that the moss, planted in autumn, is much better. It is permissible to take risks and a spring landing, and then analyze the difference in the results obtained. Probably, your conditions are perfectly suitable for the sake of your work.
It is better to prepare the soil-filler in advance. Make a nutritious substrate: mix in equal parts chernozem and peat, add a small amount of clay and expanded clay. Peat and expanded clay help to save water in the arid interval. If the moss is found in the forest or on the shore of the lake, take the soil for an ancient place of growth - it is perfect for adaptation for the new terrain
Then we follow the following actions:
We take a bucket, a basin or a friend a comfortable container, fill the clean (better main) water and lay layers of collected or acquired mossy humus in order to feed it with moisture before planting.
If the room chosen for planting, because of the time of your absence, is covered with leaves or overgrown with weeds, we remove all that is redundant, in order to remain spotless,"naked", free through a thicket patch.
Soil, suitable according to features, simple loosely for a few cm in depth (before 5 cm, less), in the reverse case, dig up abundant mini-holes and fill them with prepared substrate or soil brought from the forest.
We plant moss pillows in agreement with the fictitious project in advance - in a nutshell, stripes, in checkerboard pattern. It is allowed to extract uniform color-consistent pieces, collecting a solid mat, and it is allowed to decorate patterns and ornaments with the help of multi-colored fragments.
For the next sprawl and update, it is advised to throw small intervals between the islands that are planted.
We look, so that the pieces of humus fit tightly to the soil, leaving no air layer. Everything is great to push the plants too.
After planting a new lawn must certainly be watered, and in the upcoming care, due to the fact that the humidity was at the desired level.
You see, the landing rules are quite ordinary. Let's analyze again a lot of features. To be moss-planted for an alpine hill, an additional initial fixation will be necessary, so that the pieces of humus do not get down. For the sake of fixing them to the slope, we simply stick thin sticks (suited and toothpicks) or pieces of wire. In the forthcoming, if the moss grows, they can be removed
For the old stumps, only those specimens that were removed from a similar surface - rotting tree species - are perfectly"nestled". Against, if you find a beautiful shiny unit in the forest for a putrid stump and wish to decorate a country composition for them, you will have to get an old stump, a fallen log or a piece of wood with traces of smoldering
Sometimes the even mossy appearance looks dull and monotonous. In order to resurrect the composition, we use partner plants. Suitable inhabitants of coniferous forests:
paparazzi;
хвощи;
Berries (lingonberries, blueberries, strawberries, blueberries)
low flowers (for example, violets);
Any future lichens, including reindeer moss.
The reason for the advice is good for the mossy lawn, but we will immediately see it, like growing moss for stones. For this, you will need a mess from pieces of moss, water and forest soil. The listed components are mixed in a blender, and then applied to a kind of stone.
The first time will need additional education. It is allowed to cover the rock with a film for a number of days, sometimes arranging a short airing.
Beautiful and laconic for the background of a greenish carpet looks stone placer, but it is better to choose not the granite part, but ordinary grayish stones
Sometimes a mash is prepared for a bio base. To the mossy humus, add little sugar, kefir, water, whip and clot the rock with a sticky mass. Products fix the particles of the plant and play a nourishing consistency.
Instead of kefir it is allowed to extract yogurt or beer, instead of sugar - any sugar syrup. This method is decorated not only by stones, but also by stone fences, brick buildings, wood fences. A good growth of moss for concrete, stone and wood surfaces is allowed from its fragments to make graffiti, ornaments and"live"pictures
Like to take care of because of mossy lawns?
Generate any landlords, clubs, etc. ozelenenie/rokarij-svoimi-rukami.html"target="_blank"rel="noopener noreferrer"> rocker , a mosquito pegs constantly on the door, which is locked in moistened, reshaped, renewed, and stabbing. Мох разразстается достално медлительно: 1-ые молодой подушечки появяся не ранее, чем by 4-5 недель потом посъдки. Oni buddhout about a"parental"nest, all of which is in the same direction, is appropriate to the radius.
For this step, you should adjust the size of the"rug", if you need it, so that it is in a strictly limited framework. While young shoots have not grown, landing should be owned in a wet state. It happens that plants do not take root and die. Do not be afraid: pick up a different appearance and drop it off for the same place. Sometimes moss withers due to lack of water or strong exposure to sunlight. Probably, abundant watering will revive the dried plants
As a reward through an ordinary lawn, the mshannik does not need a permanent haircut. Everything has to be taken care of because of its purity. Forest waste will not only spoil the aesthetics of the decorative coating, but rather a prerequisite for the death of moss or the appearance of ugly"bald patches."
It is easy to protect the velvet rug through the autumn leaf fall to pain: spread a small mesh according to the area of ​​the lawn only, and then simply fold it together with the leaves.
Popular future moss for the sake of summer design
Gently-green pads are round, slightly convex, forms Leucobria moss. Plants of the genus Leucobryum are well established and develop in the shade for moistened sandy soils, although they also will not damage a small number of sun rays
For the decoration of stone or concrete paths, patios or low fences use Hypnoe moss. In advance, it was specifically used in the dried form for the warming of wood huts. The family Hypnum feels great for stony, woody and brick surfaces, although it is often used for the creation of lawns
All mushroom pickers are perfectly familiar with Kukushkin flax - small vertically extended plant-columns. This poltrihum is an ordinary, brilliant agent of Japanese moss gardens. Plants of the genus Polytrichum commune prefer wetland forest land or wetlands. In suitable conditions, the plant achieves an elevation of 35-40 cm
Young moss Dikranum is a real discovery for the decoration of pebbles and concrete fences. Small rounded pads of bright green color are distinguished by low height - before 4 cm, therefore excellent hold for vertical surfaces
Fern moss makes dense picturesque thickets and from outside with its carved leaves truly recalls the fern. Thuidium simple likes shady garden patches and loneliness, therefore beware of being compositions of this moss and other plants that he will surely survive
Sphagnum is often used in indoor floriculture, and for the sake of planting ornamental plants in the garden. The trunks of the plant are added to the flower earth in order to perform it more loosely and softly. Peat moss has an excess of the brightest colors - through the pinkish-red before the saturated greenish. The best places for the sake of its growth - the banks of streams, artificial ponds and natural reservoirs
You see, growing moss is not so difficult. His breeding does not ask for cash costs, and the utility is not comparable with anything: even in the sad interval of the off-season evergreen rugs will amuse you with the brightness of colors.

Master-classes: we build a round garden bench and...

Master-classes: we build a round garden bench and a table around a treeRefinement of a landscape area is not an occupation of the first day. In addition to the construction of the main buildings and the arrangement of the garden, it is always easy to single out the village for recreation, where it is allowed to enjoy the unity with nature. And the main element of such a comfortable corner near the open sky is surely enough to walk the garden environment. If there is not enough free space for a site, it is allowed to use the near-trunk areas of trees, setting a round bench with a table near them. It seems to build a round bench and food for the sake of the garden for the sake of the tree, we'll see more carefully.
Where is it better to do this?
Benches near the tree for many years top the popularity rating between landscape designers and connoisseurs of comfort and beauty. From metal or wood, with or without back, ordinary designs or luxurious ornamented items - they do not go out of fashion.
The root cause of such popularity, most likely, in the book, which they are framed by trunks. Huge sprawling trees are attractive for a person, because around him with strong branches everyone feels protected. A bench near a tree is a kind of sign of the unity of a person with its surrounding nature: retaining the bait multifunctional and decorative properties, it becomes part of the inhabited garden.
The main element of this fog, of course, is a tree. Therefore, the bench that surrounds it should not be pressed, and even more so damage the trunk. A round bench is ideally placed near a chestnut, a birch, a vine or a nut.
Fruit trees - far from ideal. Falling fruits of trees will spoil the appearance of furniture, leaving traces for the light surface of the tree species. Excellent, if from the bench a colorful panorama for a beautiful flower garden, a pool or an arch with curly plants opens up quite a bit
For the last board, which is quite a walk around the short side of the inner slab of the bench, mark the cutoff points at an angle of 30 °
Having planned the cutoff location according to the last board, the line is transferred for the board of the adjacent rows, maintaining the same angle of inclination. In each successive row the plates will be longer than in the past. According to the same technology, again cut out 5 templates of similar size. The correctness of the dimensions of the seat can be checked freely by laying out templates without barriers and docking their edges for no reason, so that an isosceles hexagon comes out
After verifying the accuracy of calculations and in the correct assembly of parts of the seat, they begin to make the legs of the bench. The structure of the radial bench foresees the installation of internal and external legs. Their length depends on the desired elevation of the seat. On average, it is 60-70 cm. For the sake of stiffening the construction, connect the legs with cross-bars, the length of which is quite equal to the seat's seat width
Cut 12 similar legs for the height of the seat. If the soil near the tree has an uneven appearance, the workpieces for the legs make a little longer than the intended size. In the future, in the process of installation, you can always level the height by pouring, or in reverse, removing the discharge of ground near the legs of the bench.
In order to connect the legs crosswise parallel to each other, for the pillars and crossbars make markers that will walk the landmark to be drilled through holes. For the sake of creating a rigid structure, holes are drilled in a staggered order, placing them on the sideways and grabbing the legs with crossbars.
Insert the bolts into the through holes and, tightening the washer with the nut, use a adjustable wrench to tighten tightly. The same actions make it possible to tighten the other 5 knots. It is easier to connect the legs to the bench seat only by placing them in a vertical position and fixing them with clamps, and then putting the seats for their board
The seat strips are laid out for support posts in such a manner that the connections between the boards are placed strictly according to the center above the legs. The strip itself should move little towards the front legs without reason, so that they come out from behind the edge.
After verifying the correctness of the assembly, connect two adjacent sections. First screw the outer support posts, and then"put"the internal screws for the screws. As a result, you should get two assembled sections, each of which includes three interconnected bands. The assembled halves of the radial bench are set on the opposite sides of the tree, joining the edges of the adjacent bands
"Having healed"the joints, re-adjust the position of the outer 3 supports, and then tighten the screws. Aligning the horizontal surface of the bench using a level, proceed to install the backrest. The backs of all 6 seats are set according to the trailing edge, placing them flush and locking through the bolted joint
For the convenience of operation, the end bevels are cut at an angle of 30 °. For the purpose of fixing the parts of the bench, the guide screws are screwed through the holes on the inside of the seat and grasping the backrest. According to the same technology, they connect the adjacent backrests without interruption.
To complete the stages of individual bands, mount the apron. In order to determine the length of the strips, the gap between the outer legs of the bench is determined. Cutting 6 blanks for the sake of an apron, the short edges of each are mowed around an angle of 30 °. In order to install the apron, alternately apply the boards to the outer sides of the seat, and, fixing the clamp, fasten the screws to the legs of the bench
The ready-made bench remains grinded to the ground, eliminating all roughness, and covered with moisture-repellent oil impregnation. A positive result is also given by compositions for wax base, which create a narrow film for the surface, which prevents the penetration of water from the medium. The effect of the production of a tetrahedral bench is not much less than the technology of producing a bench of hexagonal shape
Having installed a radial bench in a cold corner of the garden, you can at any time be delighted, leaning against the rough bark of the trunk and listening to the sounds of nature.
Master class #2 - we build a garden table near the tree
A logical addition to the radial garden bench is pretty food near the tree, who is also allowed to install near the adjoining plant. Around the ennobling of the table, it is better to choose a tree with a spreading crown, so that a little bit of it covers not only the countertop, but people sitting at the table
The visibility and appearance of the table can exist any way from ordinary square designs and ending with countertops of the wrong shape. We suggest that we design a structure whose top is made in the form of a head of a flower that opens.
The intention is calculated for the design of the tree trunk, the diameter of which does not exceed 50 cm. If the tree selected by the setting of the table grows again, make sure to make an additional supply near the central hole of the countertop.
For the production of a table near the tree will be necessary: ​​
a plywood cut of 10-15 mm wide with a size of 1.5x1.5 m;
the board is 25 mm wide and 20x1000 mm in size
2 cut of an iron strip 45 mm wide and 55 mm wide
wood block 40x40 mm;
wood and metal screws
2 bolt-tight 50x10 mm;
2 nuts and 4 washers.
suit according to metal and impregnation for the sake of wood.
Determine the size of the iron strip, orient yourself to the thickness of the tree, but with this, make an additional stock of 90 mm for the sake of securing the parts.

Artificial creek in the country: from the layout...

Artificial creek in the country: from the layout to the design of the shoresIn the distance, not an individual summer resident can be pestered by a natural reservoir for a private plot. In the best case, this is a short pond, decorated with the help of improvised materials. We want to offer to perform a stream - flowing, amusingly gurgling and sparkling near the rays of the summer sun. Agree that the dynamics of moving water between pebbles and greenery radically changes the landscape picture, more precisely, turns it into a real restless place of nature.
Future brooks: we choose the ideal option
If not lucky with a natural stream, we will try to execute another variation, like two medicines similar to the actual, but having a secret, or more precisely, hidden for a day's pond cause. The secret will be played by a submersible pump , recognizable to all well owners or wells . With the help of a pump we will arrange a closed circle, according to which the water of the artificial stream will circulate in the following way: in accordance with the hose, go up to the source, and then, according to the channel, go down to a small pond
This brook design is universal, everything can be changed according to one's desire by one of the proposed solutions:
Waterfall
thresholds
chain of cascades
A small fountain.
In order for the landscape composition to look natural, you will need a height difference or at least a desire for a short roll, for example, a steep hillside slope. Depends on the steepness of the descent - the place where the proposed channel is located - choose the visibility of the stream. For a short elevation, it is better to arrange a flat stream with a smooth, soft trickle and a gentle murmur. It is quite an impeccable option and in this case, if the place is completely flat, without hillocks and hills
The slope of the channel can be managed by 2 methods:
perform a small artificial elevation
Evenly deepen the bed closer to the mouth.
The intricate relief, awkward for planting a garden or a garden, in this case will play for our hand. An elevated hill, a cliff or a steep slope - it's wonderful to be able to construct an unusual channel of a mountain stream. Unusual, since it represents a string of rapids, rapids, waterfalls and small straight sections
However, do not get carried away with the construction of complex structures, if your stream turns into a single huge waterfall . The course of a mountain stream is faster than a flat one, the speed of water movement is higher, the difference in altitude is sharper, and it is likely that a stronger pump will be needed.
Step-by-step training in accordance with the arrangement of the stream
Therefore, which is an unnatural creek, we briefly explained.
If you can find a part of rough terrain, provide water supply and purchase a submersible pump, you need to learn fairly aspects of the technical side of the issue, and then you can start from the lesson. The best time for the sake of work is spring or summer, for a winter interval the pool is better to be preserved.

Layout: position, shape, size
The main stop, preliminary, is at once the most common and the most difficult. For the sake of his incarnation you will need office furnishings: pencils or markers, ruler and a huge sheet of paper, better than a millimeter or a cage.
For the paper must show all the already existing for the countryside facilities, including the building, park, paths, etc. pay special attention to the site for which your stream is pretty busy. Think about where the source and the mouth will be (through which the current flows), for what height should the highest point fly, like it is permitted to decorate the coast, is it permissible for the sake of coastal zone design to extract ready-made flower beds or decorative objects
Keep in mind that the stream forms an area of ​​high humidity, therefore it must reflect the planting of moisture-loving or algae.
If nearby there is a melon or a flower garden with exotic flowers, think about whether the additional moisture will not damage already planted crops. The same applies to garden trees, shrubs and even wild flora. The best place for the location of any water body is the causelessly named resting place - a short part located in the distance through flowerbeds, beds and planting of fruit trees. Usually in such a place set a bench for rest, food for tea, and if the room allows - build a gazebo or have a patio
The length of the stream may vary: probably, you prefer small-size compositions, or, against, you need a key that crosses the full backyard that surrounds the buildings and flower beds. However, remember: the longer the course, the more difficulties with its arrangement, and the main question concerns the slope of the terrain. The width of the channel usually does not exceed a meter and a half, but often occurs 30 in front of 50 cm. The abyss is 15 cm before half a meter. Note: the larger the water, the stronger and more expensive the pumping environment
Do not forget, which is above the stream - imaginary, and this is its importance. It is allowed to perform the entire hermetic bed and the pond without reason, so that the water from the source does not penetrate into the coastal land.
The shore's lineage remains unchanged, it's not enough to blur water in the spring, like it happens in natural reservoirs in the interval of melting snow.
Order according to the channel device
The main stop is the building of the riverbed. We decompose it according to Fri, so that it would be more convenient to do:
We perform markup for the terrain. To develop the project you have already determined the position of the creek, its dimensions, points of origin and estuary, it remains to transfer the marking from the cardboard scheme to nature. For this, you will need small pegs and a bundle of twine. We stick pegs along the prospective channel and connect them with string or string, to delineate the boundaries of the future reservoir.
Tear out the groove near the bed and the pit, in which it's enough to be a pond - the final spot of our creek. The pond is not only a magnificent object, but also the necessary multipurpose share of our project, because it is in it that we arrange the pump that supplies water to the source.
We make the finishing of the ground, we concretize the channel. If you have chosen a high stream - in a random form we have pebbles, stones, plates, we fasten them with concrete substance. For the sake of a flat stream, a shallow, smoothly curving base. As a result, a trench of a given width and a great destiny for the sake of the pond should turn out.
We lay waterproofing discharge - we cover the entire working view with geotextile or special waterproof PVC film (butyl rubber), the edges are fixed with pebbles, pebbles, sand.
Along the riverbed, through the pond in front of the source, we dig out shallow trenches for the sake of laying the hose or pipe.
We decorate the bottom of the reservoir with sand, colored granite gravel, pebbles, very much covering all the artificial parts.
We bring water, fill the pond, test the pump.
Pond is essentially not required, all to be its absence will need a deep capacity for the collection of water and the location of the pump, for example, a huge plastic container. Before installing the pump, carefully study the annotation and again check whether the technical properties of the equipment correspond to the volume of water that must be pumped
If the earth is hard, rocky, and the length of the stream is small, additional concreting will not be necessary. It should for the sake of stabilizing the channel, if the water is much more massive. When creating a creek, do not be afraid to lie: make small rapids, sandbanks, stone islets. Attract the children to work - the product of an artificial reservoir perfectly develops creative imagination and acquaints with certain laws of physics
Coastal decor and small building forms
If the technical work is over, you can proceed to the design of the banks and the riverbed with different decor. It can exist small wooden building forms - a bridge , a theater, arches, also picturesque sculptures, funny clay figures of animals, vases for the sake of moisture-loving plants, wood boats and rafts. The bridge is appropriate in this case, if a stream crosses one of the garden paths - it is its continuation and harmoniously fits into the overall composition
The structure and design of the bridge depends like through the surrounding place, for no reason and through the size of the stream. A huge stone building for a background of a brisk streamlet 30 cm wide looked like the desire is more than absurd, and small wooden bridges will come like it's impossible to fit.
Heavyweight designs are not bad for the design of a huge pond, therefore if you still want to construct a virtual bridge, use the pond zone, rather than the creek. Matter for the sake of construction is forced to exist natural, like and framing the channel, in other words, a correction from stone, ceramics or wood is welcomed
For the shore, it's pretty good to look for a short open pavilion for recreation or a playground with a table and benches. Try, so that the design of buildings corresponds to the style of the suburban area. Mini pagoda for the background of a wooden frame with a carved horseshoe looks pretty amazing enough, and a comfortable house with openwork carving instead of walls - sort of once to a place
In accordance with the banks of the stream, in order to focus on its naturalness, we plant plants, but taking into account the decorativeness of our structure, we can frankly extract trays or containers with grass. Vases are suitable for large legs with ampel plants, compositions with aged pottery, stone décor and man-made woody products, for example, a small watery chatty
Vegetable pond light
All the cultures created for the design of the stream can be divided into two huge groups: growing according to the shores and being directly in the water.
Both categories contain travki with beautiful carved or smooth leaves, as well as plants with inflorescences of different colors. We should not forget about lawn grass, if a meadow is located nearby, or moss with lichens, if there is a short garden for the shore. Trees, shrubs and herbaceous crops should alternate with artificial decor, stones, gravel deposits and sandbars
The lushly flowering bushy flowers will close the channel of the stream, therefore, along the banks, along the water's edge, we plant low plants: coin-maid, creeping vetch, colorful primroses, daisies, low veronica, caluga, swamp violets, goose onions, spleen.
A bit further across the banks - higher specimens: fern, ostrich, common eagle, lady's lady, shield, host . Plants are allowed to connect, selecting according to the height or splendor, or alternating, composing different floral arrangements from different species and species
If the plant composition includes trees or bushes, select low moisture-loving rocks that grow in the wild nature in accordance with the shores of the water bodies: goat or snow-white vet, evergreen mahogany deciduous, caragana tree, barberry Tunberga, cotoneaster, spindle. Some bushes, for example, forsythia or lilac, not counting the beautiful flowering, will give a new vernal incense, which you can also enjoy, resting for the shore of the reservoir.
Unswervingly for the bottom of a creek or pond, if it contains a grassy land, it is permissible to plant the elodea or uret, and pemphigus or hornwort does not take root, but freely float on the surface of the aqua. Puppies, water lilies, water-colors and marshwort feel themselves well even in the northern regions, hence they are unchanged inhabitants of both feral and refined Russian reservoirs.
Rules for leaving an artificial stream
To ensure that the water in the pond is always clean, and the beaches are well-groomed, should be taken care of due to plants and live the prevention of pumping equipment. For this, you should perform fairly normal rules:
test the density of hoses and pipes, by the way clean or change filters
in the hot gap, if there is evaporation of water, at times restore the necessary value
for the sake of preserving the functionality of the equipment for the winter, drain all the water and clean the pump and put it in the auxiliary heated place
Clean out concrete fences, wood structures and pebbles through silt and contamination
change the water, if it is reasonably rather opaque for some reason
Plants require the same care, like the ordinary country cottages. Trees and shrubs must be answered, so that they do not obscure the wide view of the aqua composition. Perennials must weed, feed, according to the need to replant, there are old and unhealthy plants. Annuals should be planted at the appropriate time, taken care of due to their growth and flowering
Examples of dynamic reservoirs in landscape design
We present to your attention fairly samples of the successful location of streams for personal plots. Probably, in some cases streams water compositions are named a little arbitrarily, all without it is artificially made water sources, in which much water moves due to the action of submersible pump. A beautiful example of a plain creek, not completely different through its own natural counterpart. As a decor, river stone and pebbles are used, instead of the brightest flourishing crops, weeds are sown, usually growing in the coastal zone of forest streams
If you are able to decorate the pool with beautiful stones, be sure to use it. The channel of the stream and the coastal zone are lined with stones of various sizes and shapes. Direct attention to their paint: the combination of contrasting colors - snow-white, dark and brick - resurrects the composition, makes it more animated
The channel of the stream does not necessarily have to be flat and homogeneous. The main decoration of this standard is a string of rapids decorated with large stones."Lesenka", which forms picturesque rapids, should be equipped again for the step of preparing the channel
Look, it seems like a very different decor is applied - and nothing superfluous. The creators of the project were literally thought literally all around: natural twists of the channel, a cascade of low waterfalls, and a cautious bridge with a lantern, and stone lining of the banks and even tastefully chosen plants.
Frank use extraordinary solutions and ideas. Direct attention, like artfully the designers have beaten the source of the stream: an action is created, about he takes the appearance from the neck of a huge inverted jug
If you take into account all the stages of planning, building and decorating an artificial stream, it is permissible to come to the conclusion that this is in keeping with the shoulder of any who knows how to lie, does not fear physical work and appreciates natural beauty.

How to create a garden of fragrances on the site...

How to create a garden of fragrances on the site: the wisdom of growing fragrant herbsSmells play a great deal in the life of any person. If you do not like the innate incense of other people, then they will not be close to you, since it is impossible to persuade yourself to inhale incessantly that which is unpleasant to you. The real artless method to fill your existence with positive energy is to bring up spicy grass. Which can exist more beautiful than a whole symphony of smells, which is enough to outline you since the morning. An additional advantage of aromatic herbs will be that for their base often make different pharmaceutical drugs and balms. And spices are used in food. We will tell you, like to make a park of smells with your own hands, and which plants to choose for this.
A short historical connection
For the area of ​​the monasteries of Western Europe, in the old days, patios of square form were made. The paths in such courtyards were placed crosswise, and the plantings had strict geometric shapes.
Here we often planted pharmaceutical herbs, from which various drugs were prepared. Later, plants were planted with wondrous smells for the creation of incense. Monastic gardens with aromatic and pharmaceutical plants are allowed and to date to see in Europe. They keep the bait beautiful traditions
Landings were divided according to the sides of the world, which corresponded to the patio sectors. Sometimes the grass was planted according to the principle of their parameters and the next introduction: pharmaceutical, beautiful, fragrant, etc .. Thanks to the traditions of the monastery gardens, there were cuttings, and later the opinion of a closed fragrant courtyard.
Why do we need a whole garden?
Feeling is the only important channel through which we receive information relative to the world around us. In the course of the day, we once excessively inhale and exhale the atmosphere, receiving the message we need. Feeling grants the feeling of freedom to man. We have a delightful power, following from the familiar smell, plunge into memoirs and dreams
The magic fortress of smells lies in their ability to influence certain parts of the brain that shape our spirit. Gradually, for our own sake, we associate acquired smells with the feelings and events that we have with them.
Using this gift, it is allowed to influence the spirit, to excite the emotions we need. Even a real menacing and angry day with the influence of the right odor can not prevent the flow of vivacity and positive.
Advantages and drawbacks of such a solution
The fragrant park is a unique view of landscape design. Usually he perceives the shape of several flower beds that emit sweet or refreshing smells.
Advantages of aromatic corners are as follows:
Such a resting place for your site can protect the necessary therapeutic effect: to invigorate or relax, to conserve diligence;
your suburban part will acquire an unusual originality, it is quite unlike the others
smells not only form a spirit, but also have healing effects
if you select florets as carriers, then you can torture not only aromatic, but visual pleasure.
Once quickly we list the pros, then we will not forget to mention the shortcomings. More precisely, about the book for which you should pay homage, creating your own fragrant place.
The shortcomings of this idea are not so abundant:
Each lure of the idea of ​​the wonderful. For example, men may not share female love in intoxicatingly-sweet spirits. And the lure of the addiction lady will transfer to the park, the family may face serious difficulties. To prevent this, the verdict on the development of a fragrant plot should be taken by all together. You do not buy spirits for yourself, which undeniably irritate your"second half"? One of the options for a compromise can begin the division of the site for the male and female zones. Let the lady sniff the lure of beloved lilies and roses, and the man is delighted with mint, spruce and pine.
The fragrant zone should not be extremely closed. This will increase the concentration of flavor before critical values, which, in turn, can spoil the rest and badly affect health. Let the wind help you spread smells, making them pleasant.
It should be very cautious to choose plants for planting. It's not enough that some of them provoke an allergic reaction, they can act for certain functions of your body. For example, jasmine, cloves and lovage increase overall excitability. Think about whether it will not affect your health.
You see, in the composition of the shortcomings there are insurmountable. Suffice it to take into account all the above aspects and cons of this idea will simply disappear. For the sake of creating a garden of smells, there are actually no obstacles, not counting the personal intolerance of a particular flavor, but in fact it is always permissible to exclude it
Determine the visibility of the dominant flavor
Before we delve into what plants we will plant for our site, we need the light that we want to get in the end. Let's define with a kind of a smell, who do those or other cultures:
Broken: rosemary, sage, lavender, mint.
Пряный: fennel, australia, azalea, nail.
Sugar: elder, trefoil, heliotrope, honeysuckle
Sweet: Musk rose, hawthorn, barberry.
Fruity: geranium, hyacinth, magnolia.
Red: Individual varieties of honeysuckle, peony, rose.
High-flown: iris, fragrant peas, lilac, wisteria.
Of course, you realize that the proposed graduation has a relatively relative nature, yet it is considered classical and therefore is given here. Red incense is the base of many spirits, but it's worth discussing with other family members, will not they be against it in order to fulfill it dominant in the garden
Selecting plants for aromatic gardens
Now, if you gave importance to a certain smell, you can also discuss certain herbs, often forming fragrant flower beds.
Thyme, thyme, Bogorodskaya grass
Thyme is often called Bogorodskaya grass, as this is a discreet, but very fragrant plant used for Russia for the decoration of the iconographic image of the Blessed Virgin. However, thyme was valued even in pagan times, if it was considered capable not only of curing people, but also of living.
Fragrant thyme was appreciated in Old Greece and Rome: its dry twigs were set on fire and fumigated with smoke from the premises, driving away the ills and all evil spirits. His healthy soul and can really kill nasty smells and has medicinal qualities and balsamic effect. Sensitive and insecure people of psychoanalysts are advised thyme as a source of energy and positive feelings. In addition, thyme contains substances that restore men's health
The ancient Romans bathed in the thyme's broth, believing that they are charged with energy by such a macaroon. In addition, it was added to the food as a flavor. Gramotey Theophrastus, who founded botany, dedicated a whole agreement to the thyme. According to Europe, this spice spread due to Benedictine monks who grew it in their own gardens.
Now thyme is used in cooking, medicine. It is also used in the production of alcoholic beverages, and for the sake of preserving goods. Thyme is rich in essential oils, and therefore has such a pronounced smell. Oil of thyme is used in cosmetology and pharmaceutics.
Of the abundance of species and species of thyme for the site, it is best to choose covering thyme. It grows great, and in June-July it blooms with purple flowers. Thyme is often decorated with alpine hills and a place along the walkway.
Sage - brilliant and contrast
A liquid aromatic park is without sage. It has abundant varieties, endlessly blooms and is often used for the creation of contrasting transitions in design. This plant became more popular in the Renaissance. However, it is still popular as a spice and as a part of pharmaceuticals.
Consume it in cooking, while using it in dried and fresh form. It is a frequent participant of various culinary consistencies due to its own brightest and pleasant smell. Naturally, like and at least some other drug, drugs with sage are shown in the distance is not much. This should be kept in mind and not be operated by self-treatment
The ether, found in sage, glorified him in cosmetology and perfumery. As a perfume, it can be in certain sorts of tobacco, in sausage products, tea or in some types of cheese. Add it and be a pickled herring.
Salvia has medicinal qualities: astringent and hemostatic. With it through treat a wide range of diseases of internal organs. Outwardly, it helps to be treated with purulent wounds and bruises. With it, inhalations are made, since it has antibacterial qualities.
Lavender is a visitor from the Mediterranean
The sky-blue or purple flowers of lavender are well known to us according to the countless images of this plant. In Russia it sank from the Mediterranean. Even the oldest Romans, taking baths, used it as a flavor.
Lavender is a good disinfectant, it can relieve spasms and soothe. The bathroom with her, taken before bedtime, will relieve slackness and stress. Moreover, it is intensively used in perfumery and cosmetology, is used in soap making, and lavender oil helps to burns, abrasions and small scratches. Bunches of fragrant lavender were also used in Old Greece: with the help of their dwellings they were given a new flower shower
Specifically, lavender is loved to add to different dishes of Spanish, Italian and French chefs. It is an excellent complement to sauces, lamb dishes and fish delicacies. In the dried and crushed lavender, they use a kind of spice and a nice addition to tea.
Raising lavender in central Russia is not so simple. We need some tricks. Namely, for the sake of planting it is necessary to choose cold-resistant varieties. For the winter, lavender should be hidden, but it should be done carefully, so that the warm grass does not soprela. Lavender loves good light and takes a dispassionate climate in a favorable way. But the water for her sake is destructive.
The undemanding and charming mint
Probably, specifically mint is the oldest plant, the characteristics of which were estimated by a man in accordance with the dignity. This herb is mentioned in the cuneiform tablets of Assyria and Egypt. About her read Avicenna and Hippocrates. Her essential oils are used in medicine, perfumes, and the food industry.
Mint is added to different spirits. Use it and as a flavorful seasoning for various dishes. In cooking it is used in dried and fresh form. Peppermint is widely used in official medicine. From it do not only lollipops through a cough.
She goes into the number of ointments, drops and pills, as it has analgesic and vasodilating properties. Mint is used in the form of decoctions and essences, it eliminates through a strong migraine and through problems with the digestive organs. Mint is excellent in salads and sauces, marinades and baked goods. Drinks with the addition of wondrous mint have a very special flavor
Growing mint is not extremely difficult: it grows vividly and is undemanding. If it is necessary to avoid the excessive spread of this grass, it can be planted unswervingly in pots. In this case, the rhizome does not have enough ability to speak.
Rosemary - sea cold
Thin little leaves that are unreasonably similar to needles, and flattering spicy incense - in this description it's hard not to find out rosemary. His homeland is also the Mediterranean. Its Latin name means"sea freshness". Nowadays it is known not only in Europe.
The spirit of rosemary is like a mixture of essences of lemon, eucalyptus, camphor and pine. He goes into the number of the most diverse consistencies, the favorites in cooking. This, for example, the French seasonings of"grass of Provence". For its base, vinegar and various sauces are prepared, which are served with meat dishes.
With all this, rosemary retains its own resinous incense, even to be a long-term culinary treatment. To eat the surplus of methods to prepare fragrant and savory dishes, simply adding a little olive oil and a couple of leaves of"sea freshness". Proudly not to overdo it, since fragrant leaves are capable of smelling the smell of the dish itself, which, usually, is not necessary. Rosemary - this spice has been recognized and widely distributed. In its wild form it is now permitted to meet in Southern Europe
In the spring and at the very beginning, the age of the rosemary is covered with delicate florets of blue color. The issue of his feeding is that he is not able to bear Russian winters even in a sheltered form. He needs a plus temperature. But in the criteria of a balcony or a warmed veranda, rosemary will survive. And already in the summer it is allowed to openly postpone in the ground.
Hibernia hyssop therapeutic
In Europe, Asia and even in North Africa, hyssop is curative and is now allowed to meet in the wild. In Russia, it grows in the steppe and forest-steppe zone. Even in the time of Avicenna and Hippocrates, he was described as an awesome expectorant. Nowadays, hyssop insists together with figs and honey and use colds as a medicine.
Essential oils, emitted by hyssop, can clean rooms through infections, they are used and as an effective property for the sake of combating pediculosis. In July - August, this honey is covered with flowers. At this time, and begins its mixture. Excellent dried hyssop can be used for 2 months. In early Christianity, hyssop was used as a condiment during the period of fasting. They, together with the salt, were rewarded with earnings
Hyssop can be planted in light grassy soil in the form of seeds or cuttings. In the north-western part of and in the Non-Black Earth region, it is better to extract seedlings grown from seeds to be 18-20 ° C in the dark and in conditions of constant humidity for this purpose. Seed germination occurs two weeks after the seeding date.

Previously, like to transplant seedlings, for a meter of land area should make 1 tablespoon of fertilizer type"Effect"and before 2 kg of manure. The beds should be dug for the shovel bayonet, leveled and trampled down a little. Seedlings are planted in rows, leaving them between each 30 cm, and between rows - 60 cm.
Oregano - winter marjoram
The winter marjoram oregano is named because of its resistance to winters and frosts. This is a honey plant, which grows in Russia everywhere, not including, probably, the Last North. Oregan prefers to grow for an open stony area, in floodplain meadows, for forest edges and for open glades. It is widely used in medicine. In most cases, oregano use a kind of spice. In cooking, her leaves are added to meat dishes, vegetables and potatoes. Staying oregano in tea or sauce makes his style more saturated, fuller opening the capacity of the dish or drink. Very much oregano in the composition of home baking. If it is extracted to be made marinades, then all domestic preservation is better preserved
Oregano prefers rich lands of neutral acidity. Cultivate as a honey and a source of ether. Fruit of oregano with the help of seedlings. Her plantations require a substitution in 3-5 years. For this herb is characterized by flattering spirit and astringent, slightly astringent, style.
Like to take care of because of the"fragrant garden"?
No special care is required. Always like it is usually: plants require care, fertilizing and watering. If you just plan the planting, be sure to carefully dig up the site, say goodbye to all the weeds and sprinkle the soil with all-encompassing fertilizers that will be beneficial to all the plants planned for planting.
If you are planning to design a flower bed that likes to smell, then it is allowed to perform it also long-flowering. For this, one should choose flowers with different periods of flowering. First of the season you can amuse lilies of the valley, hyacinths and daffodils. Then the torch will pick up tobacco, peas and mirabilis. And finish the season phloxes , mables and carnations.
It's a pity that the video is incapable of giving spirit, but you can estimate the appearance of the garden:
