Vertical gardening in the apartment - we invite you to visit the nature

Vertical gardening in an apartment requires a thorough approach

And it literally, as the walls of the green requires a solid base in the form of a wooden or aluminum frame.However, to plants grown in a vertical plane, it is possible to use any material from the wire, fishing nets, to the beautiful ornamental lathing and forged metal structures .In particular, in an apartment on the corners or as a room divider into two sectors may be set a few dry low trees, felled almost at the root - devoid of superfluous branches, they may be holders for small pots of flowers.

Ornamental garden arches and pergolas (connected as arches in a long corridor with latticed walls and top) in an apartment as a support for vertical landscaping are not used, but if the area allows, you can find a place for them, for example, on an open loggia orspacious balcony.But just enough to build a shelf along the wall to get vertical gardening space.To this end a short distance from the walls (10.5 cm) to the floor and ceiling (as well as to the wall) fastened thick bars (50x50 mm) or a metal tube with an interval of half a meter.Next floor-to-ceiling windows at regular intervals with screws screwed cross bars section of at least 30x30 mm.Stepping back from the resulting design of 20-30 cm are building exactly the same.We connect the two designs together bars of the same section of 30x30 mm, fills in the resulting tiers crate thin strips and arrange plastic or wooden boxes.The basis of vertical gardening is ready.

Vertical gardening in the interior as a design element

Furnishings apartment consists of many different items, and vertical gardening can be one of the elements in the interior or completely disrupt the harmony of the design space.Therefore, everything depends on you, how skillfully you will enter the wall of greenery in the room.If you are in the room a lot of bright colors, plastic, wooden rack in such a room would look out of place, it is much more organically fit chromed plastic with light boxes for color, the color of the furniture.However, where wooden furniture, which will certainly look exactly rack timber.

But let us return to our shelves that are ready to receive the plants.It is understood that the plant just because the shelves are not decomposable, they should be planted in a good soil, and he in turn has to be poured into a strong tubs, pots or boxes.So, in order of priority.Take container, which you recognized as the most suitable in the interior, the bottom pour pebbles and pour on top are not too thick, with thickness up to 3 cm, coarse sand.This kind of drainage.Earth must be prepared for each plant individually.

most undemanding plants such as grapes Amur, will be quite a mixture of peat and ash, some plants prefer to have been an admixture of humus in the soil, which was derived from fallen leaves instead of manure.From above, the ground after planting the plants can be covered with moss, it will limit the evaporation of soil moisture.

But the land is ready for planting and drawers can be placed on our shelves.We need to think in advance about how to secure our landing on the shelves, because anything can happen, and collect from the ground floor mixed with broken shoots will be very unpleasant.So do any advance on the rack ledge restrictive or simply set in front of boxes Coarse lattice matching shelving material which will not interfere with any plants, nor you.Well, because, when you create a vertical landscaping walls, plants are selected mainly from vines, shelves soon disappear under curly shoots and thick layer of leaves.

Vertical gardening balconies, a close relationship with nature

Sometimes you look at thickly planted with ornamental plants balconies and difficult to understand where it ends wildlife, expressed branches of trees stretching to the balcony, and begins an artificial landscaping.That this is the vertical gardening balconies - to be as close as possible to nature.And for this purpose it is suitable not only balcony, and every room in the apartment or a country house.However, it is now on the balcony.

to allow the plants to grow freely, it is not necessary to let them along the walls on the high wire or lattice.You can build a lightweight arch complex along the fence balcony and let the vines along it.From the arches can be made as short pergolas, putting them in pairs, so that the front of the arch at the rail was in the balcony arch depth, at the door.So you can turn a balcony into a green shaded corridor, but such an option requires some space on the balcony.

From plants is best to choose the Amur grape, and not only on the balcony, but in the whole apartment would look great his whip.Especially because its slightly sour berries are edible , have obtained wonderful light homemade wine or excellent jam.Imagine what kind of harvest can be gathered from all over the apartment, not to mention the fact that this plant will turn a balcony, and every room in a green arbor.However, one is not necessarily limited to grapes, can be planted and hops and Actinidia, chinensis, whose berries have an excellent tonic effect.
