Varieties of flower beds

- mini-flower can be built even from one plastic bottle of large size - for this follows the side of it to cut the rectangular or oval window, opposite which it is necessary to do several small drainage holes;

It is worth noting that with the help of the vertical location of the bottles you can protect the flower bed available, and the horizontal fence can be built at the stage of creation of flower beds.
How to issue a flowerbed of plastic bottles
To arrange the beds, you can use bottles of darkened or transparent plastic. In the second case, they are advised to pre-paint into any suitable colors - so the flower bed from bottles will look elementary and more nesting in any weather. Most often, a bottle of 1 - 2 liters, the same shape and size, or alternating various are used for the structure of the flower. Decorative plastic compositions are conveniently laying out of small bottles, since the size of the flower beds will increase with an increase in their size.
Preparation of plastic bottles
Before the start of work on the creation of flower beds, it will be necessary to pre-prepare the bottles to-make labels from them, rinse and dry carefully. To give a greater stability of the vertical design, they can be filled with any bulk material - dry and clean sand, small pebbles, river pebbles or soil. For the structure of the bed, it is convenient to use containers with cropped necks. In transparent and thoroughly washed bottles, such a filler will look quite decorative.
Looking around, you can see that the plastic bottles of the bottom form resemble a flower. If you paint it and place the bottles prepared in this way around the perimeter of the flower beds, it will turn out a very pretty low fence. It is recommended to apply paint from the inside of the bottle so that the coating light up longer. An additional decor, carved from the same plastic, will give the design a special flavor.
Vertical placement of plastic bottles
Before proceeding with the construction of the fencing from vertically arranged plastic bottles, you should consider the configuration of future flower beds (it can be almost any) and put markings around the perimeter.
Next, you will need to perform the following sequence of actions:
- according to the markup contour, it is necessary to dig a shallow trench with a width corresponding to the bottle thickness;
- next, plastic bottles filled with pebbles or sand is required to consistently install in the prepared groove as thick as possible so that it does not appear between them, until the fence is fully formed;
- installed bottles are sticking half into the ground so as to securely fix the fence.
As a result of the simple work done, it is possible to obtain an excellent result - the fencing of plastic bottles will steadily secure the flower leaf and will help to highlight it on the site, besides steadily for any weather conditions and looks very carefully.
Horizontal placement of plastic bottles
Flowerbed from horizontally arranged plastic bottles looks unusual and bright. As the basis for it, an old metal barrel is suitable for it - if it is cut horizontally to two parts, the details obtained can be used to arrange two flower. In addition, for the construction of such a design, you can also use old tires folded into the stack. It is worth considering that the size of the foundation obtained flower beds will depend on the base dimensions. Prepare also plastic bottles and fold nearby.
It is preferable that such an improvised street vason-flower beds had a bottom, then there will be no moisture and plants in it will feel quite comfortable. If the base of the design is equipped with a bottom, a few drainage holes should be drilled in it in advance - such a flowerba will be mobile, it can be easily moved into the desired vein.
Stages of work:
- First, it is necessary to prepare a cement solution (at the rate of 2 part of the sand and 1 part of the cement).
- Next, it will be necessary to apply a solution to the bottom of the flower to the bottom of the flower. You should not handle the entire surface of the base at once, otherwise the cement will freeze too fast.
- Beginning in the bottom of the structure, it will be necessary to consistently fasten into the layer of the neck of the bottle of bottles, building them in a row in a checker order. The first layer will continue to serve as a support for the second, which in turn - for the neighboring layer, etc.
- Similarly, it will be necessary to gradually form the entire surface of the base in the geometrically correct design. At the same time, do not forget to ensure that the solution is well grabbed.
The places of attaching the top row of bottles to the cement screed will not look too neat, so in the future they will need to be disguised. To do this, after filling the inner part of the flower beds, the necks of bottles fixed in the cement should be decorated with small pebbles, cones, moss or any other material at your discretion.
The internal filling of the flower is required to be organized as follows:
- the drainage layer is added to the permanent placement location - the drainage layer is embroidered - for this brick fragments, river pebbles, crushed stone are suitable;
- from above, it is necessary to place fertile soil for subsequent plant planning.
Decoration of decorative flower beds from bottles
For the construction of stylized decorative flower beds from plastic bottles, it is necessary to prepare bottles of different colors. In this way, you can lay out various ornaments, images of animals, fruits, insects, etc. For example, the flower bed "Swan" from plastic bottles or "Ladybug" perfectly fit into the surrounding landscape of the country area.
An indicative block of placement of bottles can be made independently (according to the principle of knitting schemes or cross-stitch). Coloring the elements of the scheme in the desired colors, you can calculate the required amount of material and the approximate paint consumption.
For registration at the cottage of flower beds from plastic bottles "Ladybug", you must perform the following sequence of actions:
- First you need to prepare transparent bottles and paint them into red, white and black (respectively, the shades of the wings, head and eye of God's cows).
- Choose a plot for the placement of flower beds and apply markup by outowing the image contour.

- Failure the soil and apply a schematic image on it.
- The floweruba should be chosen around the perimeter of a border of stones.
- Next, it is necessary according to the scheme to consistently form an image from bottles of different colors, gently inserting their necks down and screwing into the ground.
