Round beds decorate the garden and allow you to get high yields
It has become very fashionable to decorate your sites with all sorts of novelties. In horticulture, the competition begins directly - who has the best plot of land. There are so many new products on sale for gardeners that digging the beds has already become boring, I want something new.
I read in some magazine about round beds, and I was carried away by this idea. First, I made two such flower beds, and the next year I began to redo the entire site. Firstly, they are much easier to process, which is important for us, pensioners, and, secondly, the yield is even higher. The main work is obtained only when laying these beds, and in the future, only loosening and adding organic matter is needed.
To begin with, I pick up a strong stake for a garter of plants and nail a cross from strong slats to its top. In the future, I will attach the strings for the garter on these slats. The length of the stake is selected depending on the height of the planted plants. I drive the stake into the ground and draw a circle with a diameter of 0.9 cm - this is also important, because the sleeve of the film has a width of 1.5 m. From the circle I select the ground by 30 cm and strengthen the walls with roofing material or linoleum so that the edge protrudes above the surface of the pit by 20-25 cm. Then I stick pegs around the circumference at least a meter long after 15-20 cm, a film sleeve is pulled over them. The pit is filled with plant and construction waste and manure, if any, to the top, and then a layer of good compost goes to the top.
I pull the sleeve of the film on the stake, tie it, and pull the bottom over the pegs and strengthen it on the ground (well with an old tourniquet or elastic band). After a couple of days, you can already plant seedlings. It is good to ventilate such a ridge from above. You can even leave for a few days, just open the sleeve on top and strengthen the spandbond there in several layers.
I plant tomatoes in a circle of 6-7 bushes, and along the very edge I sow carrots, parsley or beets in one row. While the tomatoes are small, you can sow radishes between them. Tall varieties of tomatoes look very beautiful. Only they need a high stake, and the ropes must be tied immediately upon landing. From tall varieties planted Giraffe and Cherries, and between them - several nasturtiums.
The result is a magnificent tomato tree blooming with nasturtium flowers. There was another combination: in the middle there were 2-3 bushes of tall varieties of tomatoes, and low varieties grew along the edge. For cucumbers, I still made warm ridges. Our summer is capricious, and the risk of being left with a bad harvest is great. For warm ridges, I first make biofuel. To do this, in mid-April, in warm weather, I put in one hole such a bed in layers of plant residues, hay, grass, manure, all kinds of waste in the form of rags and paper. It turns out a pile about 1.5 m high.
From above I pour out two buckets of hot water and immediately cover it with rags, bags, paper, roofing felt, and on top - with an old leaky film. I strengthen everything with boards, but I do not tamp it. In two weeks, steam should rise from the heap, which means that the biofuel is ready. Now you need to take it with a pitchfork in layers and put it in the pit to the brim, immediately pour earth and compost on top and cover it with foil. After two days, you can start sowing cucumbers. I sow dry seeds in such ridges and additionally cover them with spandbond. Cucumbers in such ridges did not hurt at all, which cannot be said about greenhouse plantings.
I was so carried away by round beds that I left only strawberries and potatoes for the usual ones. The neighbors say that I have begun to develop the site in height. Raspberries are also convenient to grow in round beds. Very interesting compositions turned out with flowers. For a good mood, you need to plant more flowers, which I do with great pleasure.
Every year I try to grow something new, since there is no shortage of seed now. And I also have an idea - to surround all my flower beds with low fences. I also read about this in one magazine and will embody the idea in my garden. I wish all the gardeners and flower growers good luck!
