The method is convenient when a small plot of land is small. Cameras can be preliminarily whitewashed with lime, painted.

For high-quality watering in the center of the column, install a plastic pipe with drilled holes. If necessary, water is poured into it, which gradually flows to the roots of the plants.

Well look arranged in them flower gardens.

Decorative fence of branches by own hands

An interesting fence, like decoration, protection of a personal plot is a tuna or a wicker fence. This type of arrangement has ancient roots. It was a common kind of fencing of past centuries. It is made from improvised branches, sticks, vines. Today's landscape design has made the decor of branches quite popular. The building is ecologically clean, natural. This element of Slavic culture has become fashionable today. It can be installed in the garden or protected from the access of animals and children by other grounds of the farmstead. The technology is simple: branches cut from bushes are weaved into established supports, pegs.

Preparatory work

As a raw material, two groups of elements of a wicker hedge are prepared: supports, rods. For the first thick branches with a diameter of 6-8 centimeters are suitable. You can use metal pipes, wooden poles. The basic principle - the higher the support, the thicker the bars can be used in the weave. Material is harvested from fruit trees, willow, birch. Also suitable are rods from maple, poplar. Harvesting is carried out in the spring, before the sap movement at the trees. In dry, hot weather, it is allowed to cut the rods in summer. The branches are separated at angles of 40-60 °. The dew from the fresh cut pieces is fused. It is allowed to prepare for future use, but before use, the rods are soaked in hot water. Wooden supports are treated with impregnation, they are burned and milled. The most optimal poles are from larch, which does not rot.

Basic work

After the preparation of the materials, they start the main work. First of all, the pillars are buried. For a fence with a height of one meter, the supports are slaughtered to a depth of at least 0.3 meters. A one-and-a-half-meter wall will require the penetration of poles to 0.5 m. When constructing a low tuna, the excavation of the pillars produces 0.2 m. The distance between the supports is 0.4-0.5 m. The greater thickness of the rods makes possible the more rare installation of poles.

It is important to observe the exact distance between all supports.

On the edges of both sides of the hedge are hammered three pillars each, a distance of 0.20-0.25 m from each other. This is done for the purpose of rigid fixation of the vine in the initial, final sections. Then we twist the rods, installing in turn the blanks between the supports. The lower rows of the vine need to be fixed with wire, buried in the ground for 10-15 cm. The subsequent layers of branches are attached with wire around the frame. Begin woven from the thicker side of the rods, overlapping the thin ends of the branches.

After passing three, four rows, the vines must be compacted. It is done by tapping on them with a hammer. The panicles of the endings on the vines are pre-cut. If you use cattails, reeds - laying between the pillars produce an armful of material. After the end of the work, the fence is decorated with national ornaments, antique utensils. To extend the life of the coating, the structure is lacquered.

Conclusion

The options for creating elegant, practical obstacles for various purposes are many. It is necessary to acquire a tool, to start studying carpentry, building and to work out skills. The choice of improvised means for the rapid decoration of the flower garden will take a couple of minutes. Flower beds can be arranged in concrete tanks filled with earth. Such flowerbeds adorn the front entrances, placing them along the perimeter of the porch. Beautifully looked, and in the heat create coolness of the weaving species of plants.
