The country area is a simple and capacious word invested deep meaning. Those people who have a cottage plot lead a completely different lifestyle: with the arrival of spring and until late autumn, they try to do everything to collect a good harvest and engage every centimeter of fertile soil. So that work was not in vain, and the work brought joy, you need to know how to locate the bed on the site.
Not each of us, even an experienced gardener knows how best to locate a garden with garden crops. What form and widths they should be, and what cultures need to be put in the center, and which you can sow along the edge of the site.
The shape of the beds is important?
There are always a lot of controversy and disagreements on this topic, because the old quenching dackets believe that the beds must be certainly smooth and long, and there are people who do not want to put up with a simple geometry and make a highlight even in the country area. For example, beds on the country area can be round, square, rectangular and even curios. It all depends on the fantasy of the site owner.
By the way, in addition to the form, it is worth thinking about the height of the beds - they can be low or on the contrary, high. Recently, unusual beds, made in the form of rhombuses, squares or rectangles, are gaining popularity, they rise above the plot. Such a garden can be done without a fence, but best - with protection on the sides, so that the Earth does not give up, and the Groke holds the form itself.
Why are such beds popular? The fact is that if you make a multi-layer bed, with several layers of natural fertilizer it will be much warmer than the usual one.
What's the secret:
- the first layer on a high bed is materials that are quickly decomposed (fast compost). It may be a rag, paper and branches;
- the next layer is the materials that decompose a little slower: again, paper, dry leaves, grass (but only without seeds so that there are no extraneous plants in the site);
- each layer of materials is tightly stacked and watering water;
- after irrigation, you need to fall asleep all the layer of land.
The process of forming a bed of short, so you can immediately begin planting garden crops. What are the advantages: when the process of rotting 1 and the 2nd layer begins, then the materials produce heat, which contributes to the rapid ripening of the planting material. High beds The sun rays warm up faster than ordinary, but need to remember that watering should be frequent. By the way, you can immediately grow 2 yields at such a garden for season 1: before sowing seeds or plant the seedlings of the main culture, you can grow early cultures - salad or radister.
Little secrets of the formation of high beds:
- if you put the mesh under the first layer (you can plaster), then the large pests will not spoil the harvest;
- high beds do not need to dig, they need to form once;
- as a support, you can use a grid or old boards;
- the width of the high bed can be different, depending on the size of your site. But on average, the optimal stock width is from 60 to 100 cm, because to care for such a mini-garden will be easier than in wide beds. The length of the bed can be done any, there are no restrictions.
Thinking the design of the sector beds, it is worth carefully examining all the recommendations of specialists. Consider the Mitlider method - the scientist proposes to make non-chicken beds on his site, and the passages between them, on the contrary, leave large - 90 cm wide. The length of one narrow bed can be up to 10 m.
Such beds are convenient to maintain, and any garden crops can grow on them. The land when breaking the beds on the household plot will be involved at the maximum. This method allows even planning the amount of harvest, it all depends on the size of the site. You can grow in a small area with such narrow beds from 10 to 50 kg of harvest.
The advantage of the scientist's method is that a large space between plantations does not allow the weeds to get to the plants and greatly facilitates the fight against weed grass. Narrow beds can be made early in the spring, as soon as snow comes down and pull the film from above - the mini-greenhouse will turn out.
By the way, narrow beds can not only be ordinary, but also high. When you need to collect more harvest and improve its quality on bad soil. Watering high beds will still have to die, but since they are not standard size, with large passages, then this can reduce water consumption. This is very important, especially if irrigated in the country area is not adjacent and you have to wear water in buckets.

Circuit design on the site
To grow garden crops on its plot and collect a good harvest, it is necessary to properly plan the beds in the garden:
- in order to proceed with the location of the beds on the site, it is necessary to take into account the yield of each planted culture at the rate of 1M 2 Plot. Only so you can find out the useful area for planting each culture;
- consider the compatibility of plants: if the rule is not respected, then it is impossible to predict what the final result will be;
- if your site is not located on flat terrain, but with a small or strong bias, then you need to make support - terraces to set high beds on them (we build drawers from wooden boards);
- we plan to plant crops so that the tall plants are in the north, then the low varieties of the plant will be enough light.
The advantage of any size and shape of the beds, provided that they are high in that plants will be well blown from all sides. And the plants will receive more heat and light, and even if the summer was outstanding overcast and not hot, you can still grow in your site all that you want. This method allows you to grow in high beds any shape cucumbers, eggplants, cabbage, pepper and even tomatoes.
How to locate the beds?
Remember that you should always start the bed layout on the household site from the north towards the south. Only so can count on the fact that all plants will be evenly propriet. And in the morning and evening hours, when the sun is not so intense, the plants will not shade each other. This applies only to the smooth country area.
What if you got a garden with a bias? Then the rules for creating the beds will be different - it is necessary to arrange the beds across the inclined plane so that water during watering is distributed in the area evenly. So you can achieve a high harvest without a feet of the flooding of those crops that are planted in a lowland.
If the site is completely oblique, then the garden is better to position in the south, and planting garden shrubs and trees - on the northern slope.
Design Grokeok.
Even in winter, each dacket tries to think around and imagine how his plot will look like. You can position the beds in the country with different ways, for example, we look beautifully wave-like beds in the center of the site, if you plant a few garden crops. The decorative cabbage and salad of different species are perfectly combined. Plants as ripening will delight you with their beauty.
See what happens if you put several plants with stripes or waves:
Fragment of the site into segments in the form of a certain figure. Unusually looks a plot, broken into several segments with a filled middle. If you look at it from above, then you will see that the beds with planted vegetable crops form the sun.
On the edge of the site, you can plant greens or your favorite small flowers, in the center to plant low-spirited cultures, well, solar rays fill in any vegetable crops at their discretion.
Look at the photo of summer cottages with beds:
And now consider an unusual approach to forming the beds in the garden plot - this is a vertical method. Surely you had to regret that in the country there was no free space left, and there is still a desire to plant a few varieties of cucumbers, beans or decorate the area with beautiful-waving plants. Just can be built on the site vertical and suspended beds. To create such beds, you can use the wall of the cozpostroy or country house.
See how beautiful the vertical beds look beautiful:
And this is a collection of beds in a multistage way, so you can save the area of \u200b\u200bthe plot and plant more than greenery, lettuce and strawberries. Plants need to land on such beds with a small root system, because they will have to lay the earth in bags, and then put their wooden boxes:
Here is another unusual way to form a bed in a plot - compact. From ordinary pallets, you can build whole beds and use each square meter of the country's dacha with benefit. From the pallets you can make high beds, placing them in the country area.
How to make such a bed: you need to sash under the wooden base any material that will not pass moisture, but to pour a layer of fertile mixture on it. In fertile soil, landed garden crops are planted, we will use the entire utility area at the maximum, but also on the sides of the high bed.
That's what happened:
Groke size
What should be the size of the usual or curly bed? How much - the experienced gardener will answer you so much, it all depends on the area of \u200b\u200byour site. It is only worth considering when forming a bed that they should be convenient for service so that the person can be able to get to the middle of the mini-garden with a path without effort. If for different reasons you decide to use the remaining space of your country area near the fence, then you need to understand what the width is to make a bed so that you can easily reach the edge and to snatch the weed grass without any problems. The optimal width of the bed near the fence is no more than 80 cm.
By the way, standard straightar beds need to be made 1 m wide and a length of 1.5 m. You may not stick to these numbers, but to build a bed on your site as desired, but that you can conveniently serve all planted garden crops and collect harvest. By the way, the distance between the beds should be no more than half a meter and no less than 30 cm, it will be quite enough, especially if you have a small plot, but I want to plant a lot of things. By the way, the paths can be made of the specified size, only that they have been slightly lower than the main level of the bed at least 30 cm, and ideally half a meter. Then you can count on a good crop, naturally, with timely care: fertilizer and watering.
How to make a high bed independently
To get a shame with a small cottage plot, it is worth thinking about the construction of high beds, raised above the earth stands out and looks beautiful.
First you need to choose a suitable place and you can proceed to work. It is important that the area for growing garden crops was not in the shade of trees.
How to make a bed:
- dig up on the selected plot, the depth must be up to 40 cm;
- i do not throw away the land and try to fold it carefully on a bunch, she will be needed;
- the length of the pit may be different, everything depends on your desire, the width of the future high bed will be 1 m, so the most convenient to care for cultures;
- mark the boundary (around the trigteer perimeter) and install the protective fence. It may be bricks, gamps, logs, plywood or any other material. The height of the fence is 40 cm;
- we close the bottom of the pit with dense polyethylene, put the grid on the bottom to perform plastering from the wire to protect the future harvest from rodents;
- first, smear straight on the grid any organic, which will decay for a long time. Suitable paper, branches, cardboard, fabric (but not just synthetic), trimming from boards. Fill the space on 1/3, the top sprinkle the layer of the Earth by 2-3 cm and water water;
- we prepare on the surface, separately from the pit, the nutrient mixture: mix the soil, which we have with a compost, manure or returning;
- fill out our bed and pour water abundantly. On this, everything can be started at planting plants.
Remember that the next year you will have to pay attention to these beds and glue the top layer, as it will see a little. We will have to take care of fertile soil in advance.
It turns out this beauty:
