Garden with their hands with minimal investment
All 17 years of Natalia grew in the garden of the old varieties of vegetables. At the edge portion of the strip huddled "with undemanding perennials, ugly lined with cobblestones," but the joy of it was not - because of the colors needed to take care of!
That's how things have changed: Natalia looking for information about how lime "American woman" - an aggressive weed that only grows on cultivated land. I read about mulching, about green manure, and then a few days, not looking up from the computer, studying agricultural techniques vegetables new and modern ways of cultivation.
In the spring of 2016 she gave her husband to dig the ground, "muttering something about earthworms and their moves in the ground." This year it was the first time:
- garden sowed with mustard;
- He made warm beds;
- Cultivated land in their territories unprecedented tool - ploskorez;
- Mulch planting all the grass.
Those who work the land in the old way, to understand the meaning of these actions will help the table.
Harvest obtained from these simple actions, was several times higher than normal. Winter was studying landscape design theme, plant varieties, schemes and techniques.
Garden with his own hands for a season
In the spring of 2017 it was found that green manure, mulching and ploskorez and even in a single season made their Case: all the neighbors on the land plots has been cracked, as in the desert, and Natalia - loose and fertile.
This season, she decided to major reforms:
- She persuaded her husband to almost completely abandon the planting of potatoes;
- make a plan, schematic placing on paper pond, gazebo, lawn and flower beds;
- broke lawn in place of beds;
- made space for barbecue, initiated the construction of the gazebo.
As for evil, spring and summer were cold. But by August of land it has looked like this.
To make room for flowers and lawn, Natalia hidden garden behind the house, on the plots of land that were virgin. Vegetables planted quite a lot, but so that they do not interfere with each other to grow.

Cabbage, beets and greens planted between colors.
Cherry tomatoes are located along the fence (of netting) with neighbors, make them into a hedge. They grew up, they wanted to, without pasynkovaniya; and three buckets of tomatoes - it's just a bonus.
Making the garden with his own hands
This is our summer, the wearer has made a trail of wood Spili
and area for barbecue:
- raschertila circle;
- I get out of it ground to a depth of 5-7 cm;
- asleep assembled on site with stones, then gravel, then sand.
At her request, her husband made a gazebo from the material that was on the farm.
Lawn for 250 rubles
At the end of the summer in the former beds Natalia settles the lawn of one of fescue. All summer on the former garden beds ran children and trample down his and our wearer several times over the summer weed out all the weeds.
The process of creating a lawn, it describes the words "nothing fancy":
Natali-B
Divided portion of lawn on strip width of about 1.5 meters, which would not be confused. He took a rake with hard metal teeth and they became as if to brush the sand, which would loosen the topsoil where some 2-3 cm. Then manually scattered seeds and once again "combed" the strip, but in the other direction, not along and across. The same is true with other bands.
Fescue - grass is low, and it is not Natalia cuts. The creation of this lawn cost her 250 rubles per one hundred square meters.
Here's how the lawn looked a couple of months.
functional flower
As the site of Natalia small and abandon the planting of vegetables can not be, she decided to develop a functional flower garden, where vegetables and flowers grow together.
This method is practiced by many gardeners our portal. Good solution: a border for flower beds of dwarf varieties of tomatoes, hedges of roses and marrows.
Over the fence allowed curly beans, peas tall "Telegraph", which bears fruit throughout the season.
Beginners taking their first steps in creating your own garden. Natalia recommends unpretentious and long flowering plants for the joint with vegetables planting:
- Lavatera - a leader in the beauty, the duration of flowering and unpretentiousness.
- Tagetes different varieties, heights, from lemon yellow to bright orange.

I planted them as seedlings and seeds directly into the ground. The latter were hardened, they quickly started to grow, and in July surpassed seedlings. Now I will not take place on a window sill for marigold and early sow them directly in the ground or under the arc.
- Nasturtium, short and curly (it planted under fruit trees). The only thing - do not forget to soak the seeds for a day in hot water
- Eschscholzia. There are many shades of orange classic looks the best.
- Decorative red linen. Blossoms to the frost.
- Amaranth. You can sow the seeds in the ground and forget about them. But these exotic plants adorn the garden, make it unusual.
- Calendula. It not only unpretentious and very pretty, but also helps to deal with pests, healthier soil and is found in many medicinal teas.
- Nemophila. Excellent plant for borders alive.
- Tsiniya. It can be sown in the ground or grow seedling method.
