For a colorful island on a green surface, we designate a suitable, carefully selected place.The rebate located in the central part of the lawn looks better and is more visible than the one at the edge of the lawn.The shape of the rebate island should be adjusted to the shape of the entire lawn surface.
A circular discount is best suited to a round green surface. A colorful, irregularly shaped island looks good on a lawn with a freely winding edge. The selection of plants depends on the conditions of the site.This is determined by the degree of insolation, as well as soil moisture. The center of the circular bed may be occupied by a flowering bush surrounded by not very numerous varieties of perennials, bulbs or summer flowers.
Setting up island discounts step by step
1.The plants are placed on the lawn.In a semi-shaded place with typical garden soil, good living conditions can be found, for example, Lamarck beetle (1 piece), Bergenia (2 pieces), large-leaved brunner variety 'Jack Frost' (3 pieces), root geranium variety 'Spessart' ( 4 pieces).
2. Remove the darnina from the surface of the rebate with a spade.
3. In the middle of the bed, dig a large hole for the root ball.
4. The bush should not be planted deeper than it was growing in the container.
5. The substrate at the bottom of the hole should be loosened and enriched with compost.
6. After planting the bush, mix the top layer of soil with compost.
7. Immerse the pots with perennials in water until air bubbles cease to appear.
8. Plants with water-soaked root balls are ready for planting. 9. Water the coniferous bush abundantly. 10.A layer of bark mulch will hinder weed growth.
Hold the grass
A rebate established on the lawn or adjacent to it is exposed to grass expansion. A green carpet can quickly master and permanently cover free spaces between plants. Stalks that have grown out and firmly rooted are difficult to remove.In order to protect the rebate against the green striker, it should be separated with a barrier that is difficult to cross.Cut off the Darnina on the edge of the lawn, leaving a not too deep groove around the bed.
The cavity can be covered with a layer of sand and a band of flat stones should be placed on it.Its upper surface should not be higher than the ground level, which will facilitate mechanical mowing of the lawn edge.A clamp made of stakes, stainless steel or plastic is also a difficult obstacle for grass.
