Many people, getting the seasonal dacha, dream of days when they have a rest in shady cool of garden, enjoying aroma of flowers, to luxuriate on velvet lawn, regaling on strawberry or red-cheeked apples... However the reality often does not coincide with dreams, and the summer resident is not in time not that to roll about on lawn, but also sometimes quietly to have a bite. Lots of cases leans from minute of arrival to the moment when it is already necessary to leave. What to do? How to release time for rest how it is more rational to organize work in garden?
At stage of planning it is possible to choose plain materials in leaving and service for improvement of the territory. So, paths and platforms it is better to do paved (tile, clinker), and as one of the spreading materials, along with sand and crushed stone, lay geotextiles (or thick black perforated film). It will help you to avoid tiresome regular weeding of paths from weeds.
Also lay out row-spacings on kitchen garden at opportunity material, not allowing grow to weeds (tile, roofing material, boards, old synthetic carpets, thick layer of sand, sawdust).
Cherezvychayno will facilitate work, and also the construction in garden and kitchen garden of system of automatic watering will reduce many times water flow. It is the best of all to provide laying of water system already when laying paths, having put hoses under covering. At laying of lawn try not to plan site in the form of bizzare geometrical shapes. The normal roundish or oval lawn is optimum for fast and qualitative hairstyle. Do not establish stones and objects which need to be obkashivat scissors manually on lawn. For the same purposes frame beds with special plastic borders or low driven clinker that the lawn-mower freely mowed edge. Beds, miksborder, surely mulch decorative shrubby compositions and also vegetation strips along fences, previously having covered soil geotextiles or dense black agrofibre. Bark, spill, marble or granite elimination, fine gravel can act as mulch. The bed issued thus not only looks beautifully and has the finished appearance, but also demands much the smaller number of weedings and waterings. If mulching does not suit you for some reason, try to arrange in the places inconvenient for entry of the mower, lawns from the pochvopokrovny fast-expanding plants (sedums, kamnelomk, Ajuga). Do not encumber flower beds with the plants difficult in leaving demanding investment of forces and time. Replace roses of tea and hybrid grades with simple in leaving specific, park, tiny, pochvopokrovny, - they do not need cutting and the winter shelter. Do on the site of landing of coniferous different types and grades. Now their such abundance that it is possible to make the whole extensive compositions of some coniferous cultures which are quite maloukhodny and are decorative all year. Instead of whimsical flower cultures plant bushes with decorative foliage (spire, barberries, derena). And krasivotsvetushchy unpretentious bushes can serve as bright color emphases on beds (veygela, forzition, hydrangea, deytion). Fill emptiness between bushes unpretentious herbs (miskantus, prayers, sedge) and the drought-resistant pochvopokrovnik (wormwood, yaskolka, carnation plumose) who are almost not demanding leaving (except division of bush of 1 times in 3-5 years). Do not dig over the soil on beds in general, replace redigging with superficial loosening and use in row-spacings of vegetables of thick layer of organic mulch (mowed grass, weeds, sawdust, straw). It will save you from weedings and frequent watering. Not to spend time for export of organic garbage from the site (mowed lawn grass, the fallen-down foliage, branches of bushes and stalks of long-term flowers, food waste), buy or build box for compost.
