Vertical gardening - construction plant

Vertical gardening, design to provide shade

trip to the country as a whole lives outside the city, does not mean endless rural work, there is always a time for leisure.At the same time, you see, to relax in the summer season under the scorching rays of the sun is not out, except for half an hour after sun bathing.Therefore, considerable importance in the country given to the creation of the shadows, and the best way - to ask for help to the plants, on the other hand he created the necessary conditions.So, you can build a small arbor, and to put it on the shoots of ivy, but you can just give freedom curling vines and get in the end a great shaded area.How?With pergolas, of course.

First of all, what it is.Arch from bent metal rods or wooden elements, overgrown with roses or hops - to introduce such a structure in the garden is easy.Well pergola - is nothing more than a few of these arches, connected on top of the original ceiling grids, resulting in a long gallery .It is possible to connect in parallel two of the gallery and even more, pergolas can be infinitely large.Another kind of pergola - a kind of canopy of a huge lattice frame on poles.Under such a structure, or honeysuckle vine-covered, you can arrange a tea party, do a barbecue, or just relax with a book in his hands.

Supports for vertical gardening is better to collect wood to construct a pergola

simple enough, but before you take up the tools you need to decide whether it will be adjacent to the wall of the house or stand alone on the lawn among the garden trees.However, suppose that separately, as near home as possible and to build a shed.And at the same time allow for you to decide and choose as wood material (traditionally in the Mediterranean pergolas are built from lumber), but are now available designs of metal and plastic.So, we need the support columns in the amount of 4 pieces, 3 meters high and 12 centimeters thick (beams or logs).Then need girders of the same thickness and length of 2.5 meters in the amount of two pieces, as well as cross beams - 6 pieces at 2.5 meters in length and cross-section 5x10 cm.And to create the lattice strips 26 are superfluous or thin bars section of 5x5 cm, the length of which should be 3 meters.As the fixing materials have to be used: cement - 4 bags, screws - without an account, fasteners for the beams - 16 units, 4 of which are under the beam 12 centimeters, and 10 - under the bar section of 5 centimeters.Tools - which sees fit.

leveling a site for support for vertical landscaping, and a swarm of 4 pit depth of 60 cm so as to obtain a rectangle with sides 2.5 and 3 meters.Install supports and fill them with cement, prepared in advance.Logs propped rack or install extensions as you like, as long as they stood perfectly straight.While the cement hardens, gently, not shaking the support beams, set on the tops of their supporting beams using special fasteners.We get the two gates to the bar of 3 meters, set apart by a distance of 2.5 meters.After every two feet on the carrier beams fasten fasteners, and laid them on the cross beams, all our 6 pieces and fasten them with screws.Then, on the crossbars put exactly perpendicular to the bars section 5 centimeters and also fasten them with screws.

On the sides of our pergolas can priladit tapestry of strips or mats made of reed, it is to your liking, and you can hang a metal lattice.In the column can hang pots for vertical gardening.Planted in their plants, for example, climbing roses, will join organically pergolas composition.Very often the pots are used when necessary to make a vertical landscaping walls.

elements of vertical gardening with a total component

If you want to create a vertical section of landscaping, to do something more serious than a strained ropes, fishing nets, you will be only one thing - to put the various designs of the sameelement - gratings.Yes, that's right, no matter what the elements of vertical gardening, you are coming to build, they will consist of arrays: wooden, metal or plastic.An exception can only be forged construction, but there is quite possible to find a lattice patterned interlocking metal bands and bars.It combines the tapestry and hung them on the containers for vertical gardening, in which planted different species of plants.The wall of these tapestries will be very original.

So, let's say you want your site razgorodit green walls of climbing plants, for this you will need a trellis (a kind of latticed screens), the height and length limited only by the strength of the material.

The more tapestries area, the greater the load on these greens.

tapestries, combined with the arch will be wonderful gate (the arch, of course, more practical to build on a track).Pergolas whose walls may also consist of a trellis, based also have its grating laid horizontally on the support high.However, it was mentioned above, we now know even as pergolas going.

Another way to use trellises - forming various shapes of trees.The equipment for vertical landscaping, when installed near a young sapling, it would help to give any form of branches.It is fashionable now become of trees chandeliers.Get them is easy on the site, only need to tapestry was made of solid boards.As already mentioned, the lattice-Ground behind our young trees, so that it appeared in the middle of the tapestry, and cut off the trunk at the foot rail.Now that the tree will throw out the young shoots, they must be secured on the grid so that they grow horizontally to a certain point, and then deploy them gradually upward.We get the outlines of the chandelier, with all the extra branches and twigs should be cut off, and then, when the tree is fully developed, will only maintain its shape.

Vases for vertical gardening in different use cases

Flowers in the apartment, put on the table in an elegant bowl, sooner or later wither, as their root system remained somewhere far away, perhaps even outside the city or even inother country.But outdoor pot (a giant vase of flowers), is designed to ensure that the plants in it feel comfortable even in winter.In fact, the pot is not nothing like a beautiful decorative flower pot, stylized vase.So, use pots for vertical gardening plot can be along with the rest of planting methods.Vases are placed primarily where it is impossible to plant a plant directly in the ground, for example, on the curb on the tarmac and paved alleys.Thus, the original pots for vertical gardening is very decorated with a rustic site, allowing to grow green where it, in principle, can not.

Often, containers and pots can be folded into the composition, and it is a separate type of landscape design - a special module for vertical gardening include a lot of different-sized containers for flowers, taking a predetermined shape.Of interconnected containers aligned mostly pyramid.But there are more complex forms, up to the fairytale castles of climbing and the usual bushy plants.The modules can be made of plastic, metal, wood.The easiest option - four triangular lattice of rods connected to the pyramid, and hung with containers to the ground.

However, no matter what types of vertical gardening you choose, remember that a small area different varieties of greens may seem closely , it is in moderation and selectivity is the main art of the landscape designer.
