Greening buildings with timber lianas

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

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

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.

Moorish, or the multicoloured lawn consists of ammonoids annual plants in a mixture of cereal grasses, as well as decorative , winter-hardy perennials(snowdrop, tulips, naked, bellscamomiles). They are used primarily greenhouses and in very rare cases, multi break into bloom year planting.
Creating a lawn requires a lot of attention and work. Initially, are preparing land to grassland, check the value of the plant soil. If no such layer, or it is a very small one, it creates a fertile soil, for example, with the addition of black sand or clay. Thick vegetation layer shall not be less than 15 cm layer Before making plant produces plowing Smithsonian, it must razravnivaetsya, makes fertilizer, and then perepahivaetsya. Ideally this process made in the fall, but can and spring. If planting seeds scheduled spring, after handling ground subsidence leave for 2 to 4 weeks.
Lawns zasevayut spring (during planting of spring crops), early spring, late fall and less at the end of October, so that shoots appeared in early spring. Given Field crop seed rules krupnosemyannyh seeding grasses range from 40 to 50 g per 1 sq. m. srednesemyannyh-20 - 30 g per 1 sq. m. melkosemyannyh-5 - 10 g per 1 m2. After the selection range grasses define the lawn area and count the number of seeds. Then choose assortment flowering plants (for the Mauritanian lawn). Wintergreens of ammonoids lawns planted at the same distance, it is recommended that when they landed on the lawn. Before planting grass lawn area mark to strip width of 1.5 to 2 m in two mutually directions. For more equitable distribution of seeds in the seed produced no wind. On curb lawn grass sowing more densely. After planting the seeds stop up hand rake to a depth of 0.5 to 1 cm and a prikatyvanie or to ram. Summer better seed neem seeds. In dry weather it is necessary irrigate crops 1 to 2 times a day. Following reduce crop irrigation.

Winter gardens part2

The organizations of a winter garden need to be given enough attention. First, it is important to choose in what party of light it it will be turned. Being under direct solar beams the most part of day, it will be heated and hardly probable will be comfortable both for people, and for plants. Even if the winter garden is turned on the north, good ventilation is necessary for it, and in turned on the south for can be necessary and jalousie (as a variant most convenient and practical).

Stone or paved a tile a floor and unpretentious wattled furniture plants according to their requirements, not being afraid to spoil allow to water and spray conditions. Good wattled furniture, some pillows - that else is necessary for comfortable reading or conversation. And the table covered in winter garden will seem to more harmonious if to use utensils and devices with vegetative motives.

Other problem for a winter garden - wreckers and illnesses of plants which much more hardy at the big density of plants as conditions for them are created practically ideal, and - birds and predatory insects - here are not present natural enemies. Application of chemicals in this case not always is desirable, especially if in winter to a garden spend a lot of time and the more so eat. There is also more modern way - the biological control. It is developed for the majority of hothouse illnesses and wreckers. This use of alive microorganisms and predatory insects which at correct observance of the instruction of suppliers, can be very effective.


Winter gardens

The climate of your winter garden is important for convenience of people and colors. Inevitable efforts will depend on a climate on its maintenance and selection of assortment of possible plants. The most widespread and often most successful decision - a climate of the Mediterranean, dry both hot in the summer and cool and damp in the winter. In such conditions of will well feel many plants for which in living rooms happens too жарко in the winter. It, for example, grapes and citrus, olives, monsterium, a rosemary and a sage, pelargonium, bougainvillaea, abutiloniums, cypresses, camelias, azaleas and even many palm trees. If the winter temperature does not fall below +10°С, a specific variety of plants can will increase (for example, hibiscus, passionflowers, and many surprising plants). At higher winter temperature (+15°С) there is possible a cultivation of tropical plants, such as anturium, a ficus and even orchids.
