Create beautiful fence!

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.

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.

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.).
