How to beautifully arrange a flower bed with your own hands

We already wrote in one of the previous articles about how to make and decorate a flower bed using car tires. We will not touch on them in this material.

Today, the team of the site http://knigorez.ru has prepared for you a photo selection of ideas on the theme of a beautiful and unusual design of flower beds and flowers in pots on the street.

Photo later in the article.

1. Baby carriages and bicycles deducted from the balance of the family can be an excellent basis for an unusual garden or flower bed.

2. Old furniture will also work - chairs, metal beds, even kitchen furniture.

2. You can place small flowers in kitchen utensils, chandeliers thrown out as unnecessary or for health reasons.

Do not forget to make holes at the bottom to drain excess moisture.

3. Tin cans and buckets have already become classics for making neat little flower beds in the country or in the garden.

For landing in a limited space, very carefully approach the issue of choosing plants. Stop at those whose root system does not require open ground, and the flowers themselves are not demanding in care and tolerate both drought and high humidity well.

Pelargonium (geranium), dwarf asters, dahlias, pansies, ageratum, iberis, limnantes, hybrid verbena will live in such banks. Plants with a bushy or hanging form are also ideal - for example, petunias, fuchsias, lobelias, nasturtiums, scaevola.

In an enclosed space, the load on plants increases anyway, so we recommend using the gardener's lunar calendar to choose the optimal time for planting plants in the ground. And with it, you can also determine other suitable periods: the time of weeding, top dressing and pest control.

4. The original idea is a hanging bag with a substrate in which holes are made for plants.

5. Unusual flower beds from glass bottles:

6. Old baskets, suitcases and boxes can be used as a flower garden.

7. A flower bed is very easy to make. On a small elevation, we install some kind of vessel (an old basket, bucket, tub), from the source of the “brook” we pour a little earth along the channel. For such a flower bed, choose undersized, abundantly flowering plants.
