2007-10-06T14:00:00.000-07:00

Prost and attractive in a so-called flat rock. This rock is a little pit trees, posted pretty neat stones. Originally will look somewhat similar in form of arbitrary shape beds located on different levels. Plant trees in various alpine culture. Flat rock is low, but very decorative.

To get gardens or rocky alpine Forty-use high svetolyubivye perennials. They fall into alpine meadows plants, poluskalnye plants and rocky highland plant.

The highest and beautiful meadows, alpine plants. They require soil from peregnoya, books and sheets, land and coarse sand (1:1:1). These include: alpine forget-me-not, ever stand, orchids spring, Pion tonkolisty, Primrose spring and mild.

Poluskalnye alpine plants is less demanding to soil composition. Substrates for them are a mixture of leaf and distributed land impurities sand with small gravel (1:1:1). This group includes: Clove peristaya, sinegolovnik, Phlox grassy, BELL Carpathian etc.

Poor and small alpine plants netrebovatelny and their normal growth cook mixture of coarse sand with fine gravel and land navigation (2:1). This group includes: Veronica gorechavkovidnaya, rezuha alpine, Sedum Eversa, immature creeping, Primrose bessebelnaya, yaskolka silver.

Stony gardens and alpinarii: Barvinok

In lieu of grass (cereals) grass can grow several cabinet to the soil, svetolyubivyh pochvopokrovnyh plants: alpine arabis, Sedum off and Sedum Eversa, yaskolku silver and black, cloves travyanku, gipsofilu creeping, ever teas, creating decorative wall coating plant type . For the shadow of the wet suit creeping thyme, pechenochnitsa noble, Madagascar small, loosestrife monetchaty, saxifrage shadow, Maianthemum Kamchatkan. Such prizemistye plants (10-25 cm) to a growing unpretentious. Among pochvopokrovnyh plants are considered especially valuable evergreen plants that retain high dekorativnost from spring to late fall, for example, Madagascar small pahizandra. Later in the fall, when most plants in the garden loses its dekorativnost, lawns from pochvopokrovnyh plants continue to enjoy the eye.

Vinca is a unique small pochvopokrovnoe plants quickly razrastayuscheesya, unpretentious, forming flat green cover, ornamental throughout the year. Different high dekorativnostyu during flowering plants such as Phlox subulate and grassy, yaskolka silver, sedumy. In the shadow of dry ground grows well saxifrage shadow. Yaskolka silver is very good for a silver lawn on sunny rocky sections.

Rocky garden or alpine hump, artificially created structure, displaying the beauty of a mountain landscape with the alpine flora. They should be set in a beautiful blend of stones and plant-Letnikov, perennials, shrubs.

Rokary small rocky area, where naturally dispersed stone ornamental trees. This is an interesting admission flower design parks, gardens, parks sites. Particularly successful they may be in places with rough terrain and bugristym territory. Depending on the shade or sun of a rocky natural sites of solntselyubivyh (Sedum, Phlox subulate, primuly, irises) or shade (watershed, фиопогон, Vinca) plant.

Rock-rocky Sadiq from the collection of alpine flora, which is situated on rocky slopes. Regular and irregular alpinarii have in the south-eastern, southern and south-western slopes where more sun. With such exposure color obilnee plants. For alpinariya construction on the northern slope of using tolerant and more resistant plants.

When the device rocky garden give any specific recommendations difficult. Because of its appearance depends entirely on the arts and artistic presentation creator. It should be emphasized grace stones and plants, coupled with the surrounding landscape. The main condition for a rocky garden-free, natural placement of stones. Against the backdrop of green lawn place 1 - 2 stone, put them around a small coniferous plants with a crown dwarf forms (sabina juniper or pine mountain) or pyramidal (sea, juniper ordinary), free bus beside them several pochvopokrovnyh or ornamentals. Planting in small groups or soliterami amidst rubble against a backdrop of stones they look impressive. Try to locate all the elements and your most naturally and unobtrusively. You can arrange garden as stony terraces, filling crevices between the rocks and plant breeding substrate there alpine plants with pochvopokrovnymi. Looks like the garden is very close to the water. Boulders placed heavy ground to the ground.

Stony gardens and rock garden

Arrange rock (Alpine hump) must be that it does not poluchilas very high and massive and not be a random bunching stones. Soil getting better level irregularly shaped, ranked stones at their edges. Alpine hump well get down to a natural terrain or water. For planting in rock types picked subalpine and alpine vegetation contrasting colour, form, invoice leaf with different bloom periods.

Rock construct in the autumn as well as spring ends sludge soil. Choosing a day when the soil is dry, srezhte Grass, carefully select from the ground roots of the multi weeds. In a alpinariya installed drainage layer of brick bat or gravel layer of 10 cm at schebenistoe drained ground nasypayut hill good breeding protocol land impurities peat, coarse sand and some small stones. In some sectors can create a special soil, in accordance with the characteristics of individual plants. After this hill land hot stones of various sizes and shapes, one or more, but similar mineralogical composition of rocks. For devices alpine slides can be used KK, sand, unemployment, shale, granites and basalt. Two recent rock advantage different from the rest of high strength, and the hump of these stones will be more durable. In the spring are beginning to plant trees. In the intervals between the stones add planting mix. The soil must be valid in a few weeks, then add a little mixture and lightly Condense.

In alpinariyah decorative values allowed wide species of plants to create the largest decorative effect. But they picked range in size alpinariya. After transplantation of plants in their permanent place of the soil around plants and slightly seal polivayut then mulchiruyut crushed stone or gravel. Remember time removed from alpinariya weeds. In addition, each spring mulch to the soil surface. Alpine plants do not need frequent podkormki occasionally plants podkarmlivayut weak fertilizer solution. Despite sufficient stamina and zimostoykost most of the highland plant in alpinarii requires partial or complete protection of certain plants for the winter.

Ponds and lakes for you plants! Chapter 2

2007-09-24T09:14:00.000-07:00

For your water plants can use water from ponds and lakes, but should not afforest their very densely, it is necessary to keep at least a small water table. Floating plants are divided into neukorenyayuschiesya on land freely floating on the water and ukorenyayuschiesya it with long stems and floating on the water surface leaves and flowers. For decorative design shallow water suited: vodokras froggy, Hévíz yellow (for water depths of 30-90 cm), rdest floating (for water depth of 0.5 to 2 m), white waterlily (depth can be from 75 to 100 cm), gases trehlistnaya, Highlander amphibian.

For planting aquatic plants at the bottom of the reservoir put rocks so there were veins, which can be specially prepared to pour in the ground. The soil for planting aquatic plants produce torfolistovoy mixture of sand and large (1:1). Top land nasypayut sand and plant trees between the stones, the top prisypaya small pebbles.

Much easier and more convenient to plant plants in containers that set in a specially made bed or improve education and strengthen their pebbles. This allows at any time to remove the plants, clean water. With the advent of cold water to be tried or exhaust, thermophilic plants moved into the room and plants, wintering in the wild, close lapnika layer or opavshey leaf (20 - 30 cm).

Next to the water plant irises, Forget. In reaction to the coast can put your favorite flowers. By the reservoir can to help into fast-growing trees such as the Babylonian Yves, Manchurian nuts, whose deep roots will podtyagivat water to the site, and many of its evaporation, air massage.

Keep water in the reservoir, remove the dirt from the surface and bottom water. Do not forget to follow the order in the water adjacent to the Lake area, uhazhivayte for plants remove ottsvetshie buds and yellowed grass and then the pond will always look clean and tidy and enjoy yourself. If necessary, change the water in the reservoir during its flowering. In the spring of empty or half the reservoir, remove fallen leaves and dirt, and Turquoise fresh water. Concrete pools after winter may require repairs because at the bottom they have cracks and water may leave.

More sophisticated devices and equipment with water mood, the waterfalls which operates on the principle of a vicious circle of water. In such cases, use small electric pumps. Bizarre coverage would create a magnificent scenery in the summer night. Beautiful garden ornaments can be colored lighting, burning only at night. The resulting afternoon sunlight charges small batteries located directly inside. And with nightfall they are lit in soft light. In shopping for designers to get a special artificial pebbles, which absorbs light during the day, and it emits a dark time. You can decorate a track or obramlenie stone reservoir.

Artificial pond. Chapter 1

A large recovery in the landscape of the home, garden or park are artificial reservoirs of busch gardens various sizes, Bank of zasazhivayut op decorative plants, not only internally with the surrounding landscape, but with the pool. Decorative water than decoration on the farm was a special microclimate and the same can use well water to progretuyu poliva.

The size of the designed water directly depend on the size of your site and your ability. For example, a station in the 10 - 15 plot is enough water to the surface water to 5 m2. But the easiest decorative pond of 1 m in diameter and greater depth of 20-50 cm can be done anywhere in the station itself and not use expensive materials.

There are several ways to create artificial reservoirs. The easiest way is to use ready-Cast plastic forms. The shape and size can be varied, but the most common form-round. Mirror surface water from the natural outline most harmoniously fit into the green gardens. Specialty stores have a wide range of options available to build water tanks. You have to be determined and its location on the station. Another way is to use a special soft material to the inner surface of the seabed or Concrete. These two options are used to build water reservoirs, created its own draft. Concrete pools after winter usually require repairs because at the bottom they are cracked, and water can leave.

If allowed size of the field, you can obustroit "natural" with a decorative pond fish. Water can be decorated with beautiful garden air bridge, and under dense green sets rocky shore of the reservoir to locate benches. Soothing water from sunrise fontanchika or rotating wooden wheel not only enrich the water of oxygen, but the whole family will gather for recreation in nature. Creating a pond in a style very labour. Of course, first pond liners and foremost, to the pond, which contains fish, a biological or mechanical Filtering System. Technical design of the reservoir, it zarybnenie, a waterworks most challenging olive garden and complex part of the savage project. Choose a place for a water garden, and it will help you build a landscape designer. If you want to make a small pond own hands, the find in the market is necessary to implement your ideas today is not any work.

Artificial pond
Keep water in advance the idea of the garden and then to translate ideas. Penumbra is the most opportune place for water. When the reservoir location in the shadow there will be little water vapour. Without the sun algae growing much slower and longer than spring water, the water will neprotochnaya longer remain fresh. Most aquatic plants svetolyubivy, but you can find, and those who make shading. It should not be acceptable to water under the crown of trees, as water will fall fallen leaves and various crop residues. They will forgive pond, in this case, would require the installation of devices to purify water from floating debris. The trees will provide shade that prevent the growth and flowering water plants, and their roots may damage the bottom of the reservoir. To create a reservoir subject to appropriate care can choose station, sunlit fountains. Especially hilton garden inn in the hot time for the protection of flowering water will be needed ultraviolet filter.

Create beautiful fence!

2007-09-12T12:42:00.000-07:00

To create a beautiful fence takes several years. But this is justified their useful service. Seedlings conifers are often at the age of 3 to 4 years as a fence evergreen grows very slowly. In turn, most shrubs quickly, and for 2 to 3 years can be dense and high fences. Even in the cold winter shrubs (eg Aralia Manchuria, buddleya David, kerriya) freeze slightly, in the year quickly restored. The biggest mistake beginners gardeners, too dense planting seedlings. It is important to remember that the plants for good branching and development needs beyond food and illumination area. With dense planting seedlings pulled, prematurely bare bottom.

Plant a living fence can be in the spring and autumn. Advance write a draft green fences. Depending on the destination planned to determine the form of fences, its location, decide to plant species diversity. Well prepare the way, this is usually done in the fall. Along the fence initially planned pulling cord stamp line, which will land. Then along cord to dig trench for planting depth to 60 cm and a width of about 65 centimetres (depending on the number of rows and number of plants). The distance between rows depends on the strength of growth of plants, ranging from 0.3 to 1 m. Choose the top fertile layer separately from the bottom to add a peregnoy, peat or other organic fertilizer. In winter cover boards or threats. Planting seedlings lead to a distance of 30-50 cm for Toprol bushes and up to 1 m for large plants. In two-column fences plant trees chequered course. Plant trees so that the root neck was from the ground, or can lead to slow growth. After planting the soil around the seedlings and carefully trample down pour on. If landing a summer, it should be pritenit tree to avoid sunburn and intense evaporation. After landing recommended rooting stimulants. Flip through planting can be done rollers of the land, which would not have to maintain the water to spill. For the weaker plants for the first time to set foot of the wooden cross along the row. Before planting to increase branching cut the top of seedlings. For coniferous plants Grooming spend when they reach a height of 20-40 cm, the procedure better later in the autumn.

Fence

Over time, with excrescence plants and trim interlocking branches of a certain image and the form of a living fence: rectangular, square, oval, triangular, trellis, trapezius and other heart fences make-solid, without gleaming. Of flora or trees can grow so-called trellis fences, which are particularly strong and tightness. Plants (cuttings or plants) bank angle of 45 ° to each other. If already effuse plants, the cutting shoots, leaves, young and the most powerful. They send an angle to each other. Branch to knit intertwined with one another, which places them cutting their bark and bags of insulation tape, and leave until the seam. The following year, repeat the procedure with the new shoot strong shoots. Grown in a way living fence will be very strong.

It should not be planted trees at the northern facade home where sunlight falls infrequently and damp from melting snow remains on the long. When landing from outer walls better to retreat at least 5 m from the edge of the driveway at 2 p.m. Consider carefully placing on the tree, with a strong root system. Very effuse roots can disrupt and destroy the foundation already appointed lawns and track site, a heavily effuse tree crowns would house the natural arrangements and the sun. Large trees should be harmony with the architecture of buildings, a small boarding house on the contrary may be too massive.

As material for hedgerows using seedlings of various species of trees and shrubs, often with spines (Crataegus, Rosa canina, etc.), for in farmstead landing Low and beautiful (sea, roses, etc.). In southern graceful living fences can be grown from bukusa, Lavra, rosemary with the artistic haircuts. Beautiful and fragrants fences are derived from jasmine, wild roses, lilacs and other flowering shrubs. Beautiful green fence of a coniferous trees, spruce, fir, industrial, mining. Fences more than 1.5 m from the hawthorn trees, fruits, fruits, jasmine fences average height from the plains, Kalina, raspberries, lilac, yellow shares. Low Toprol fences up to 1 m from the Japanese bereskleta, Privet, meadowsweet, Fabaceae, Rose.

Green tree plantations in addition to contribute to the formulation of oxygen also pose aesthetic pleasure, make the landscape more attractive. In landscaping and the home of a leading role decorative foliage, and coniferous evergreen trees and shrubs. They are planted in lawns groups, large copies-one. Garden may be open or closed. Clear garden is a lawn with a separate standing trees, creating beautiful scenery and emphasizes architectural forms. Private garden or living fence is a stand of trees and shrubs, planted at a short distance from each other in one-two or more series.

Low fences (from 0.5 to 1 m) is usually used for hems tracks in the green, by parterre lawns and flowers at the alley. High or medium (1 - 2 m and above) have protective fences protective function: they planted in the division of the site into zones, with decorative design fences, they absorb noise and withering protect from the wind and cold.
Living fences

Living fences are simple (one type of plant) or complex (multiple species of trees and shrubs), multi-layered (centre high copies, on the sides of their lower-level) or single-planting trees and bushes. When selecting plants to range fences have to consider their Tailored to local soil and climatic conditions, crown shape and height, the time of flowering and fruiting, colors and shades of leaves in different seasons. Well room and grow almost any soil trees and shrubs such as mountain, Kalina, red maple, Field, negundo, to wartiness birch, larch, cherry, juniper sabina, Alberta plains, Yves Babylonian, Tunberga weed, wild grapes, Crataegus, Acacia White. But such trees and shrubs as fir, hornbeam, Lipa mild, Acer and silver maple, white Yves demanding to fertility of soil and climatic conditions.

Trees are different format crown: pyramidal (fir, maple Acer, white spruce), spherical (Konsky chestnut, maple and red field), weeping or wormwood (birch, cherry, Alberta plains).

Some species of trees and shrubs leaf colors and shades of change in the season. L. allocated beautiful painting leaves and black fruits with colored bloom, Buzina and river-bright red, yellow-red Schisandra, hips-gold, skumpiya - friable cob purple hue. Black, lilac, white Acacia, Jasmine, Rose, poplar teas during flowering blagouhayut unique flavor. Living fences

For the fence so you can find plants that during the summer season, he was continually flowering. For example, the median strip in April blooms black cherry; In May, Crataegus, ash, cherry, chestnut Konsky, romantic early grades; In June chernoplodnaya rest, White, Jasmine, Rosa canina; In July, Acacia yellow, Lipa, spiraea; A August-Fabaceae Van Guta.

The form of all living fences are freely rising and Shaped. Free growing fence is not required to master the perfect way to the station, and will not cause a lot of chores. They are from the bush, not bound Grooming. Such care is to maintain plantations, protection from pests, urea and sanitary cropping. Strizhenaya fence requires more care and careful selection of the range of plants.

Families wood Lian

2007-09-07T10:35:00.001-07:00

Woody plants are divided into five groups: based, climbing plants, and listolazy tendrily. Consider in more detail some of the most common types of Lian.

Most species of the family actinidias used for high-altitude vertical greening, as well as valuable fruits and medicinal plants. This large tree plants; The stalks climbing, wind round reliance movement against the clock. Actinidia multiplicating green stem and seeds. Chrysanthemums harvest at the beginning of russeting crust at the shoots. The upper part of the escape removed, stems cut from 2 - 3 kidneys and planted in a greenhouse in the substrate layers of drainage peregnoynoy land with sand and a layer of 5 cm washed river sand. At age 2 to 3 years, plants suitable for transplant to a permanent seat. Transplant them to smoke, a fertile, well-drained soil, as in the penumbra, and the solar field. Actinidia kolomikta Lian-high 8-15 m, has a smooth barrel, brown bark, leaves stalked, oval forms. Green leaves are often complex stained white, pink and red; Autumn leaves can be a dark red to purple. Pink or white flowers, up to 2 cm in diameter, flavouring. Blooms in June and July. Fruits potato, long 2 - 3 cm green with a touch of yellow, sweet. This Lian likes penumbraly protected from the wind field; Soil rich in humus; Drought brings bad air and soil. On winter-hardy this type of Lian Lian Far more persistent. Actinidia Arguta, or acute-powerful tree plants up to 30 m in height. Cora light gray, the leaves slightly leathery, dark green, glowing, in the form of long-elliptic 6-15 cm Flowers single, 2 cm in diameter, odourless. The fruits are rounded, 2.5 cm in length, ripen in September-October. Well developed in a slightly shade the ground.

Many species of wild grapes and form a family grapes used as high decorative plants. This tree, deciduous, evergreen plants rare, highly lying by running, sometimes trailing shrubs. Grape seeds green stem, seeds or slips. Chrysanthemums harvested in the fall to keep sand in cellars. In April planted in greenhouses or ridges. Rooted cuttings planted in the fall to a permanent seat.

Grapes Amur - woody Lian up to 20 m length. Cora brown to black and brown. Shoots and running in the red and green growth, wind round foothold in both directions. Leaves vary greatly in shape and size. Spring leaves greenish pink, later reddish green, purple autumn. Flowers white and green, with a pleasant aroma. Blooms in May-June. Fruit-dark blue, nearly black berries, matures in September-October. Grapes Amur prefers well degree of drainage, wet sandy soil. water-resistant and frost-resistance plants. Lysias grapes is a powerful, highly climbing Lian. Leaves wide eggs form and heart-shaped long 10 - 12 cm spinous concentrating cloves. Berries black with a blue plaque, from 6 to 12 mm in diameter. Would landscape, humusis top, wet soil, no transfers of lime in the soil for more than 10 - 15%.

Maiden grapes family graps-large deciduous plants, rare evergreen. Antenna branching, terminals or missing hooked (wind around pillars), or enlarged oval devices, to become rooted to the spot to support. Seeds, as well as grapes. Maiden grapes quinquefoliate woody Lian-up to 15 m, climbing by running as growth. Leaves from 5 to 9 corresponding 4-length 10 cm green leaves over the top, bottom roller, and by fall are red. Flowers collected umbrellas. Fruit-Blue and black berries. Grapes are not demanding to soil, make shadow, weather and tolerant, resistant to pests and diseases. The most frequent form of Engelmann with smaller flakes and bars. Maiden grapes free pointed decorative Lian-up to 20 - 30 m. Short devices in the form of pads to give up without high towers. Dark green leaves of plants, in the autumn of bright orange, bright top. weather- and drought-resistant plant, ordering urban environment.

Clematis, clematis (family ranunculaceae) - Lian small with thin ribbed not climbing stems, clime up reliance on using handle leaves that cling embrace support. multiplicating clematis stem, slips, immunizations and seeds. Slips an autumn or spring. For more rapid establishment of the kidneys make an incision and longitudinally split node establishment. The following year to jig slips. Green graft in June and July. Clematis Zhakmana Lian-up to 5 m, has leaves from 3 to 5 flakes, flowers and 10 - 12 cm in diameter, white, blue, pink, red, purple. Blooms almost all summer. Light and water-resistant plant requires fertile soil and sand, heat-loving, for the winter, it should be safe.

Family kaprifol (family winter flowers_) - woody Lian up to 6 m in height. Polypody leaves, grey green, 4-length 10 cm, a width of 3 to 5 see flowers large, orange, fragrant. The fruit-orange berries. There is growing rapidly, light-requiring requires fertile soil. winterly. Seeds slips, and green stem, seeds. The green stems cutting in the late flowering of two internodes and trees in greenhouses.

Hydrangea stalked or climbing (family mother of thousands) - Lian up to 25 m. rising through the air root suckers. Leaves 7 to 10 cm oval; Pale violet flowers, perfumes, collected 15 boards in diameter, 20 cm Hydrangea grows well and blooms abundantly in well-lit areas, but makes and penumbra. Weatherly, demanding to fertility and soil moisture plants. Seeds slips, stem and seeds. Chrysanthemums cutting in June for a two internodes and leaf and grass in the greenhouse.

One widely cultivated plants following: morning glory purple, scented peas, beans decorative, nasturtium trudge. Usually used for green terraces device pyramids on lawns.

Greening buildings with timber lianas

2007-09-04T11:49:00.000-07:00

For decorating walls, fences, gazebos and a vertical wall decorations balconies and terraces using mainly tropical plants. Vines called fragile plants with flexible stems, which grow to a height in need of support.

In practice vertical greening most rational lianas landing in the ground near the building. Landing lianas to spring and autumn. After the device feet along the wall of the building (at a distance of 20 to 40 cm of it) to prepare a hole. Landing pits, or have a wall or blind area. The minimum width and depth of 50 pits see landing sites give food, peregnoem rich, loose soil. In heavy clay soils and dry most of lianas grow poorly. If planting hole over there in blind area, then the contour pits doing framing height of 5 to 8 cm above the pavement. Before landing lianas produce unnecessary circumcision and weak stems, shoots and roots. Then plant trees closer to the inner wall of a pit. Upon landing some useful burial neck root plants for the root system. Upon landing, all the stems of plants straighten evenly divided on support in a fan shape. Everyone escaped to tie up 2 - 3 field for a growth in height. Then lianas abundantly pour on when water soak, the soil surface worms, equalize. The roots of some of the less winter-hardy types and forms of lianas, especially growing up in vulnerable places, preferably in the first one-two years after planting shelter for the winter humus or peat, which early spring carefully, but with great caution mixed with the soil.

Greening buildings with timber lianas

There is a need to systematically increase reliance on shoots so decorated wall area was evenly covered with lianas greens. Later produce cropping damaged and moribund shoots thinning seats, removing white shoots. Vines, plants in boxes and salt, poorly nourished and do not reach the proper altitude and development.

In choosing decorative floral compositions of any building should be taken into account Functionality of the building and its architectural design, paint the walls of buildings, the light guidance to the parties. Green buildings require device feet. The most simple design and implementation are considered pillars of nets with large mesh 1 x 1 m. Grid should be mild, stainless, galvanized or in isolation thickness of 3 to 4 mm. Her leather and attach to the speaker of the metal wall anchorage. The distance between them in height taken within 2 hours For more density possibly a second diagonal grid cross marked overlap of a thin wire. After building can be painted in the color of the wall. To greening low wall fastener plant used wooden cradles strugannyh away from the cross section 30 x 40 mm, especially when planting in the flower boxes and salt. Often recovery plants vertically, or in any desired direction using cord, podvyazanny to small pegs, dug in the ground near the plant.

Care of a lawn

2007-08-28T09:19:00.000-07:00

Lawn quality is largely dependent on care. In spring, as soon as the snows melting, and the soil slightly podsohnet and will be suitable for handling, must be sweeps lawn rake. This is done to remove the accumulated over the winter debris and breaking up the top layer of soil esilient. Determine the extent irregularity lawn, and then proceed to interplanting of herbs or turf, ie repair lawn. If the lawn is not homogeneous, the easiest way to restore it to be breaking up soil and sown of the same herb, which zaseyan entire lawn. But while the new crop at the site will be different from the grass at the old sites, and to avoid the use of more labour-dernovanie. This from the mainstream lawn for sowing grass cutting slits. Normal size for cutting : the thickness of 7 to 10 cm, width of 30-40 cm, length 40-60 cm soil lawn removed to a depth equal to the thickness of the sod. Protecting packed tight and expansion joints poured land and sow grass.

The next phase of care for the lawn-trimming or haircuts. Haircutting usually lawnmowers. That way harvested annual weeds, the appearance lawn. Most multi-injurious weeds, which usually to spread, its leaves cover lawny grass, allowing it to grow. It needs to weed them by hand or in the worst case dig over again entire lawn and make re-planting grass. For lawns parterre type haircut every six to 16 days, especially in the context of ample moisture. After trimming grass height is 6 see Gazony meadow type mow off about once a month. At the Mauritanian or multi speckled lawn to periodically cut deflorated heads and flowers. Grain and grass on the multi lawn 1, 2 times per summer to mow off. Over the years accumulated a lot of lawn debris : dead and grass clippings, fallen trees and shrubs with leaves, rain emissions worms. In autumn, fallen leaves should be removed at least once a week. These spring cleaning rake will promote grass.

As a condition of successful lawn care, regular irrigation. Lawn cereals, due to their frequent shearing and small size power to a large number of nutrients. Nutrition produces an average of 300 grams of nitrogen and 150-250 g of potash fertilizers by 10 m? . Make fertilizer for 3 to 4 admission during the summer and by then irrigate. In late summer trimming grass cease to be strengthened before the coming winter. Spring to the edges of the lawn trimmed cutting tracks on the very edge.

What types of turf grasses only briefly today : fast-growing and shade-tolerant, and for a universal sports fields, flower, parterre, even for extreme urban conditions. Not long ago, there lawn mixture, in which each seed is covered with shell containing basic micronutrients necessary for the growth lawn grass. The choice of method for greening your own site. But if you want a perfect lawn, it must be the subject of your pride, and will edit your friends and neighbours.

Lawns, design and care

2007-08-25T08:23:00.000-07:00

Lawn-translated from French means back. The green is the area with natural or artificially created grasses. In building green lawns paying much attention, they are divided into two groups : 1) ornamental lawns and 2) special-purpose lawns. Decorative Lawn, in turn, are divided into the following : parternye, meadow type (in parks and parks), a multi-ammonoids and Mauritanian (annuals, flowering Ararat). Special lawns is sports, airport separating transport and walking establishing slopes on the slopes, etc.

The parterre lawns located in front of the park and other places, making a basis of flower beds. They should be especially high quality, velvety, homogeneous on painting, equal without attacks and dense. The parterre lawns borrow the small area. To sow their use typically cereal grass with small tender leaves in the bottom of the bush, and quickly otrastayuschie after shearing. Lawn grasses should form good sod, to be steady against trampling, winter-hardy enough and decorative.For lawn grasses used mostly grass and fewer beans (such as white clover). All cereal grass divide into three groups : basic (meadow grass, red fescue, bent white), crown (fire lupine, meadow fescue, creeping teorological), intermediate (timothy(-grass), Lupinus).

Lawns meadow like a lot of space used for parks and other open parks. Such lawns sow with cereals 3 - 5 kinds. Using big team, bents, dog's-tail, Dactylis, Lupinus. Typically, adding a bit of white clover, and other long-term lyadvents grasses..

Multi ammonoids lawns are composed of ammonoids perennials Located groups against lawn. The main background of a low of grass-grazing and depressed one. In addition to sow grass meadow, bents dog's-tail and white, in equal parts. When using a mixture of 1 part grass seed and 2 seeds of flowering plants. In flower mixtures include 10 to 15 types of low greenhouse (30-40 cm), such as opium, knapweed, red flax, Iberis, Delphinium one, calendula, one.

For protection of roots of plants against drying and burns, and also for constant humidifying plants, pots with plants drive in boxes, on 2/3 filled by a moss, peat, sawdust or sand. Water, evaporating from such ground, sates with a moisture air, that favorably affects growth of a ground part of plants. That roots not germly through a water-waste aperture also have not gone deep into the ground of a box, under a bottom of a pot it is possible to put a circle of plywood. If such way is very combined, plants can be exposed on a balcony in own pots, but thus it is necessary especially will take care about them watering, and dark pots to protect from solar beams, for example decorating their light paper or having painted a pot in light color. Watch, that leaves of plants did not lean to разогретому solar heat to a windowpane.

To land flowers in balcony a box it is necessary not too densely that there was a place for development of new runaways. The magnificent, well generated plants or plants which develop the greater vegetative weight can be landed in one number. The most good results at cultivation of colors in boxes reach landing of the strong, well developed sprouts. The majority conservatory can be landed in a stage budding, landing make after the period of possible frosts in cloudy weather or in the evening. After landing plentifully water. Plants can be grown up by crop of seeds directly in a ground of a box. In the ground superficial grooves, and after crop are done, seeds fall asleep finely sifted ground or sand. After crop having watered make accurately to not admit washing away of seeds. Before occurrence of shoots it is necessary to cover boxes a paper or glass.

Densely effuse plants on a balcony look not only is elegant, but thus also weaken street noise, partially absorbing a sound, I clear air of a soot and a dust, and in hot day will weaken a sunlight. Special charm is represented with the indoor plants which have been born in the summer on a balcony. For warm days of summer they turn to large bright copies, and with approach of colds transfer back to a room. Thus fresh air, a warm wind and solar beams is necessary to plants.

Growing up plants in boxes, it is possible to transform a balcony in green pergola, and before each window to create a tiny flower bed. Balcony boxes make from various materials: a tree, plastic, metal - a choice for you, the main thing they should be spacious enough. The recommended sizes: thickness 1,5 - 2 sm, height 15 - 20 sm, width not less than 20 see Choosing, remember, that in small boxes in length less than 1 m the ground on open air quickly dries up.

Flower boxes can be made their dry fur-tree or pine boards. At formation a box for greater durability on its internal corners put racks section 4? 4 sm, from below under a bottom two cross-section rods beat the same section. For a drain of superfluous water in day of a box make apertures in diameter of 1 sm through everyone 15 see there are boxes of more complex designs: with the spare tank for water that the ground did not dry up, and also with pallets for running off of water.

Fastening of flower boxes should be made strongly and reliably. The strongest fastening is carried out by means of special metal arms. They can be used and in the event that windows open outside as the box in this case fastens below outwardly a window sill. If the window opens inside of a premise, the box with plants can be established directly on an external window sill. The box thus necessarily strongly fastens to a window sill, for example by means of metal crampon. That the box stood horizontally, under it are enclosed oblique wooden scantling. On balconies with metal lattices at windows boxes can be established from the interior of a fencing, on a floor of a balcony, for example on flower supports. High plants place in the boxes costing on a floor, with a wall, there, where more than natural protection against damages.

If you have enough place on a balcony it is possible to construct an original rack of containers, having arranged it along a wall on all height. According to your desire it can be a rack from forepart or decorative boxes-containers. In containers it is possible to place the bought flower sprouts or small flowerpot with indoor plants.

From external edge of a box it is possible to land ampelnes plants that their hanging down stalks decorated a box. On the center of a box any low plants land, it can be as pottery plants or pergola. And from internal edge balcony a box it is possible to land any twisted plants (for example, an ivy) by means of which it is possible darkened a balcony.

Basis of good development of plants is the healthy ground rich with nutrients. The fresh friable earthen mix with addition of sand is most suitable. Sometimes add the crushed peat, especially in that case when boxes are located on the solar party. Peat absorbs in itself an excessive moisture, keeps it, not souring and not rotting. The box is in regular intervals filled with the ground so that the surface of a ground was below edges of a box on 1 - 2 see Densely to stamp the ground does not follow, a deposit of the ground is reached by stirring of a box at its filling. In balcony boxes the ground is quickly exhausted, therefore plants already through 2 - 3 weeks after landing are necessary to feed up on a regular basis (time in 10 - 14 days) complex fertilizers, and every spring the ground in boxes needs to be updated. For winter of a plant from boxes are cleaned, the ground is loosened and in such kind remains for the winter. In the spring the part of the top layer leaves and replaced fresh. As plants in boxes are usually landed very densely, to bring fertilizer in a loose it is not recommended.

The Most convenient forms additional fertilizing for balcony colors - liquid and sticks of long action. Special care of a plant demand to itself during flowering, during this period top dressing with the maintenance of phosphorus is necessary for them.

This group of plants possesses graceful decorative leaves. It is one of the most ancient groups of plants of our planet in whom it is totaled more than 10000 kinds, however from this group in culture it is entered no more than 200.

Ferns have adapted to the diversified conditions of dwelling, and meet everywhere, sometimes even settle on walls of houses. But the greatest distribution ferns
have received in conditions of damp tropical woods, there they grow not only on a surface of ground, but also as Elifits - on trunks and branches of trees. From these places there is a set ferns, suitable for cultivation in room conditions. A variety of places of their dwelling has led in turn to to variety of forms: from tiny plants up to treelike giants up to 25 meters. The majority room ferns - grassy plants with well advanced rhizome. The rhizome can be short, vertical, but it is more often horizontal, creeping. Numerous additional roots depart from a rhizome in ground, and from his top - beautiful, large, more often pinnately-divided leaves. The young, not developed{unwrapped} leaves, are curtailed as a snail that is typical of all ferns. On the bottom party of leaves sporangiums with disputes develop. The form of sporangiums and their arrangement is the important regular attributes on which differ delivery and kinds ferns.

Experts subdivide ferns into three temperature groups under the winter maintenance: cold, moderately warm and warm. Provided that you will manage to support temperature in a room in limits from +16 up to +25С without sharp fluctuations, you can raise with success the majority to ferns. For them are pernicious both drafts, and hot air of a central heating. Ferns - moistureloving and enduring plants. Spraying and damp air are necessary for them regular having watered. Water for enamel should be very soft, with the minimal maintenance{contents} to exhaust. Water water is recommended to be asserted not less than day or to use for enamel pure{clean} thawed or rain water. It is inadmissible neither overbaking, nor wetting earthen coma, it entails destruction of a plant. Having watered strengthen during intensive growth and reduce with a stop of growth.

Ferns in the best way grow on absent-minded light. Direct solar beams cause grow brown and dying off of leaves. Do not transfer stuffy air, a smoke and a dust. Successful wintering to the ferns needs the most light and rather cool place. I replace ferns in the spring after plants will start to get under way in growth. As a rule, for planting to the ferns it is necessary to choose wide, but superficial capacities. The earthen mix is made of equal parts of the turfen, sheet, peat ground and sand. In this mix add fine shards charcoal and the crushed coniferous bark. At change measure roots delete, and alive whenever possible do not damage, as they grow very slowly. After change a plant water and spray warm water. The some people are made multiple copies ferns disputes, division of a bush, and, for example, offsprings. The original beauty and grace frens, their comparative unpretentiousness allow to use widely these plants for gardening feebly premises. Individual large copies are very effective in baskets or flowerpots. Leaves are steady in flood and are used for registration of baskets, bouquets and flower compositions.

Most palms are from tropical countries. Many of the well-developed in the rooms, while respecting the rules of care. For them to be bright, but protected from direct sunlight. Trees grow from seeds. For softening skin seeds plucked water 45-50oS. Plant to a depth of 1 cm pot filled with a mixture of sand and sawdust, or a mixture of sand with a light sheet of land with the addition of gyro Moss. At the bottom of trees just rolled drain layer, which adds tolcheny charcoal. Time germination depends on the type and can last from a few days to several months. For example, the seeds of palm trees, which gives 30 to 50 days, coconut-150-180 days. Sprouts seeds transplant in nourishing soil, which should be the sheet and peregnoynoy land with the addition of sand. For older plants to the mixture add more heavy dernovuyu land. Drainage layer made of pieces of coarse sand and gravel, with pieces of charcoal. Cotyledons not terminate and leave seyantsah, as they will continue to be supplied by the plant. Jars with seedling kept warm place to land spots. In winter, heat palm contain at a temperature of 14-16oS, with the remaining 8-10oS. The best temperature for the growth of 16-18oS, at higher temperatures the air in the room becomes land, and there is a drying leaf tips palm leaf crop, but should not be. In order to prevent this phenomenon, in addition to maintaining a moderate temperature, it is recommended that frequent be wipe and spraying the leaves with water. Old to support leaves removed only after stem dieback. Palm did not pass wind and cold air from windows. Apart a top warm water until you see it in the pan. Stood water was poured from the pan.

To grave extract (1:10), 3 to 4 times over the summer with mortar or mineral fertilizers. Jars or tubs to grow palms must be high and deep as the roots of palm trees grow long and deep. Some palms main roots greatly raised from the ground. To prevent them from drying out in the pot, it can be a small layer of moss, which muffle grown roots. Landing makes dense, in adults palm trees in unused land should be rolled. The trans-Palm great care must be taken not to damage the roots. The roots trimmed healthy place. Palm through endurance and high decoration widespread in the food crop. Sometimes blow, but leaves more dekorativny. Trees with their delicate leaves ideally suited for growing in large pots or salt on the floor of the spacious rooms, greenhouses, winter gardens.

Grouping plants easier to deal with the lack of humidity, just do not forget that this is acceptable in the plants with the same requirements for humidity and light. At the time of the leave, if color is short, or when you are not there to irrigate can propose the following method of irrigation. Fill water facility, the bed adjacent to the surface of foam pad or well vpitawatee moisture mahrowoe towel so that it partially hanging in the water, and put on a towel plants in pots without pallets and boards. The towel will absorb moisture and thus will be able to do a few days without water. Take the proper care of plants, and they have rewarded their ideas blossom and the bright foliage.

Sex invented plants!

It is no secret that the world is driven by sexual energy. And not only in persons, in accordance with the theory of Sigmund Freud, and a whole world of life on Earth. However, all is back, including the history of sex in the world. In the light of recent research found : sex invented plants. Previously, it was thought that sex is exclusively the prerogative of homo sapiens. Of course, the "love school" in the world of plants is not. But flowers, the wonderful creation of nature, dealing with the replacement of at least subtly and with feelings than people. Virtually everyone in a purely human elements sexual relationship in plant world is a match. Moreover, the science of love Rights trained the plants. In the first stage of sexual relationships is the search for a partner. In the animal world to be used brilliant thick fur, feathers team, love dance, and more. But in the case of plants is not possible to move to even come close to each other. No they and sensory organs, to perceive partner, and to assess its efforts look as well as possible, there is not even a brain that is capable of producing such a wish. However, all necessary for workers to plant flowers. Their soft and fine piece surround genitals : beans, which are pollen-microscopic embryos life, and pestle are away from that grain pollen germinates and establishes a bears fruit buttons. Thus, flowers play a critical role in the sexual life of plants. Ironically, as we have seen, is that direct the plants themselves unable to enjoy each other. But charm their subtle flavors is not aimed at members of their species, and specifically grown and trained creatures : pollinators. Prior to the emergence of color sexual energy living organisms Earth was hopelessly blocked, but not yet a suitable solution. There was even division of the sexes. Settlers our planet-dissolved salts and other celled-sex was simply not needed. Their not everything, exist in the world's oceans and seas did not require emotion. When coming to reproduction, little divided. However, the powerful sublimates beginnings with life Yeah world never to be effective. The simple distinction is not real life : no change and the pursuit of excellence, both inside and outside themselves. The next stage in the evolution of sexual plant has been a primary hvoshchei and ferns. They tons produced in their greenhouse pollen, which then erwin and classing wind. Huge clouds, to burying over ancient forests, we have only to a tiny proportion of forming their it into places where required : the female genitals-stigma located on the grounds of leaves. Particularly attractive these stigma has been a difficult, as well as the whole plant. However, the credit of ancient plants that have been established flower - is a miracle of beauty, equal to the cold sun did not exist.

During the period of intense growth plants require intensive nutrition for the formation of green shoots, flowers and fruits. At that time, Flowers useful to provide fertilizer, pre-irrigated plants with clean water. Lack of any of the nutrients triggering symptoms of starvation and excess, especially micronutrients, can cause poisoning. In choosing fertilizer, it should be borne in mind that flourishing plant or dekorativnolistvenno e. The first require more potassium and phosphorus, and the latter need nitrogen. Dekorativnolistvenny e Plants should supplies weekly from March to October and from November to February-once a month. Flowering plants need mainly in Phosphorus and potassium that increases kidney and seeds, as well as the bright color of flowers and ripening fruit. Some rooms require special fertilizer plants. For example, azaleas, orchids, cacti and gortenzii produce special fertilizers. Nitrogen is an essential element of root feeding. With his lack of slowing growth, changing colour of leaves. Phosphorus plays a major role in the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The phosphorus, it is necessary in the early period of life for the development of roots, flowers and growth. Potassium improves the resistance against plant diseases and decreases in temperature. The lack of potassium on the leaves are brown spots; Going away edges of a leaf plates resembling ozheg. Calcium contributes to the development of a strong root system. His early learning helps boron. A lack of calcium leads to the cessation of root and shoot growth of the plants. Magnesium is involved in the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Then there is shortage of the leaf plant appears "marbling" - they become pale and spotty. Iron and manganese are involved in okislitelno-vosstan Ideology processes, resulting in the formation of chlorophyll. The lack of iron, and manganese is over, the leaves are svetlo-zheltymi. Excess iron is a plant poison. The ratio of these elements must be in the proportions : iron into 3 to 4 times more than the manganese. Very busy growers are encouraged to use special fertilizer-bubbly water-soluble tablet, udobritelnye balls or wand that can be at least 3 months to supply the plant all necessary without risk of overdose. There fertilizer for each plant, but in principle, you can use one for all, universal. There should be no chemical fertilisers, if infected plants are at peace or just introduced. Usually fertilize starting in 2 - 3 weeks after transplantation, when the plant is well entrenched. Fast-growing plants sustained more than growing slowly. Flowering plants are beginning to food supplies after the blossoms, and continue fertilizing until the end of bloom. Vnekornevaya nutrition (spraying fertilizer plant Solutions) provides plant nutrients through the leaves and stems. It is an additional admission fertilizer to the full range of care for plants. Such plants as epiphytic bromelii, get water and nutrients their leaves, so they fertilize special liquid fertilizers, non-salts. To determine the optimal concentration of the solution of fertilizer, it should conduct a test spraying of branchs.
