This "sandwich" is warming up better and faster than conventional beds, and during frost plants survived in the box, although the rest of the vegetable planting perished.

An example of such Boxes made an active participant in our portal Liftanutym we see in the picture below.

Most gardeners do a warm beds height of 20-30 centimeters. For fencing often just knock together and cutting boards placed on the ground, directly on the turf. Stuffed beds depending on the conditions, such as grass clippings put down on top - the loose soil from the compost, veiled nonwoven material and put in a slot seedlings. Or on a layer of sand is poured layer of humus and top - layer torfopeschanki (proportions depend on what culture you grow in the garden).

We can not say that, to lay the foundation beds geotextile, you say goodbye forever to weeds. But "one tear exhausted struggle for rooting weed" is much easier than ever to bend back on weeding. Having done all right once, then remains only to maintain order.

The height of beds on top of the geotextile depends on the size of the root system of the plant. It can be 30 cm and for "ordinary Greenfinch", and two feet for something larger. Generally, it is recommended to do once the bed of a thickness of 50-60 centimeters.

Watering

Topsoil in high beds dries quickly, and it should be considered, when to plant plants with shallow root system. When watering high beds can be guided by the following formula: if per square meter poured 10 liters of water, the earth gets wet by 10 centimeters.

With the selected area mowed grass mowed hiding place cardboard, poured on top 15-20 centimeters of earth and planted something minor, such as flowers with small roots. To reduce turf access of light and air, are placed on the sides of the board. Over the summer, the cardboard is completely rotted, and the turf is also "somewhere disappears." And flowers will grow by leaps and bounds.

Also, you can lay the beds bottom layer of newspapers. This method is excellent help to get rid of weeds. Base beds blanketed newspapers, from above - a layer of fertile land. This flower bed planted any plants with small roots. By the fall of the weeds dry under a layer of newspaper, and for the next garden season the newspaper will rot completely. You get an excellent loose seedbed, even if before this place was a virgin. The result can be further improved by making the newspapers under another layer - of mown grass, food waste, leaves, etc.
