How to make beds from boards

How is a slab ridge mounted on a site so that it looks not only beautiful, but also turns out to be a winning and convenient option? You can make ridges in the garden yourself, you only need a processed croaker and tools.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF WOODEN RANGE

The made construction of a ridge made of wood has a sufficient number of advantages:

• Optimal prices. Such material does not cost a lot of money, and everyone can buy it.
• Conventional design. Finishing and cleaning the boards can be done by every gardener.
• The material is pure, without artificial additives. This is an ecological raw material, it will not deteriorate inflorescences and herbs.
• Convenience to vegetation. Such raw materials will not cause harm and problems, since they do not heat up under ultraviolet rays, and create comfortable conditions for vegetation in the soil.
• Constant cleaning and inspection of the ridges. The manufacture of such ridges does not allow the doll to get to the plantings in the garden.
• Permanent smooth construction. Such a ridge in the installation of a slab does not collapse during rain, does not collapse during drought.
• Convenience for looking after the ridge. It is easier to add minerals, weed, moisten the earth, huddle.
• Greenhouse installation. Without unnecessary help, you can attach aquapanes to the frame, which conduct light and retain heat in the garden, or just a film.
• Beauty and neatness, in this form, the site in the country looks very interesting.

Shortcomings - short-lived in a beautiful state, with constant rains, the wood damp, blackens and rots. Provided that if you lubricate it with special means, for example, an antiseptic, then such a frame will serve for more than ten years.

MATERIAL FOR USE OF CONSTRUCTION FOR SEEDS

For the construction of ridges, a different type of material may be suitable, such as boards, purlins, beams, slabs.

To understand what kind of material is needed to make the frame, you need to calculate your financial condition.

• Oak and maple are a strong type of raw material, they will last for many years, such material is also resistant to dampness and various stroke diseases, but the material is not cheap.
• Fir, alder are ideal, the material is strong, it tolerates rain.
• Conifers are an excellent solution for constructing ridges in the garden. The material is excellent in density, and can also be purchased at the best price.
• Spruce - the price of such material is very affordable, but not durable.
• Acacia - a fairly strong structure can be made from this material.

FINISHING AND CLEANING BACTERIA BOARDS

For the durability of the structure, it is coated with special nutrients:

• Impregnating agent. For precise processing of the material, such preparations are used that protect the fungal diseases growing on the tree, and these preparations will not harm the seedlings.
• Varnish and color. To make the structure durable, it can be varnished or in color.
• Lime, bleach. The only optimal and inexpensive solution with which you can quickly saturate the material.

BED CONSTRUCTION PARAMETERS

Each gardener prefers the design parameters of the ridges at his discretion, as it is convenient for him in terms of the size and quality of the greenhouse. There are cumulative design parameters at which the path in the garden will turn out to be ideal:

• Width from ninety to one hundred and twenty centimeters.
• Height from fifteen to fifty centimeters.

The dimensions of the structure may be different, if the frame is large, then additional bars are needed in order for the walls to be stable. The most important size is the width of the ridge. The optimal solution for the location of the ridge would be in two rows of landings. In such conditions, both rows of seedlings will be provided with ultraviolet rays and fresh air. Also, these sizes are convenient for looking after, moistening, hilling the soil.

The higher the ridge is, the more comfortable it will be to look after it. Each gardener chooses his own height.

Experts recommend what size the structure should be for the convenience of vegetation:

• With good fertilized soil in the garden, the ridge can be an average size of fifteen or twenty centimeters. If the ground is unpaved, then they make a large ridge from thirty centimeters. Many summer residents build a ridge from fifty centimeters, so that it is more convenient to take care of it.
• The size of ridges with humus is made from fifty centimeters. Ridges of this size protect vegetation from the cold and a lot of water in March and April.
• The lowest ridges of about twenty centimeters are used in growing the first crop, for example, lettuce, onions.
• Potatoes are also planted in the field, the size of this site should start from forty centimeters.

INSTALLING A CONVENTIONAL WOODEN CONTAINER

There is nothing complicated in making the frame of the ridge; this does not require special skills. For execution, you will need tools and the raw materials themselves, for example, boards:

• Croaker - two small in overall size, two large.
• Support for the walls of the structure in the form of pipes - six pieces.
• Pneumatic and electric tools, drill.
• Bolts or screws.
• Scoop.
• Measuring tape and angle.

Lesson plan:

1. Connecting iron pipes with a slab. Support pipes are attached along the entire length of the wood material using bolts or screws. A support is attached to the elongated slab in the same way, since the boards are large, the bars are installed in several places. One part of the support, which is sharpened, will stick into the soil. The size of the support is calculated so that one part is in the ground, which is added additionally, about twenty or thirty centimeters.
2. Connection of all major structural parts. Part of the longitudinal slab is connected to the support by a pair of shortest lines. The opposite side is connected in the same way. At the end, it is necessary to check the entire structure for errors so that it is without gaps and strong.
3. Installation of the frame. The structure is transferred to a special place in the garden, covered with earth, useful minerals. At the end, all sizes and condition of the ridge are checked.

The frame is made of wood for the ridge. You can start planting vegetation.

HOW TO MAKE A BULK BIT YOURSELF IN THE AREA

Compared to ordinary ridges, the elevated ones have enough advantages:

• Simple installation that anyone can install without special skills.
• The rapid warming up of the earth, everything begins to melt, and the planting of vegetation occurs faster.
• Protects from the cold. Raised ridges are not difficult to close with a canvas that allows light and moisture to pass through.
• Universality, in this case, in these ridges everyone is planted, no matter what kind of soil, solid or in a doll.
• Comfort when leaving the garden. No difficulties in weeding, moistening the earth.
• Strong walls where the soil is moist and does not freeze.
• In the smallest quantities, cockle, beetles, worms and others appear.
• The optimal solution for those who do not have time to keep track of the garden. For hilling such ridges, there is no need.

Also, such ridges will not do without cons:

• And yet, in such a matter, man's hands are needed, who understand something to work with wood, for independent work.
• Due to the fact that the ridge is higher, it is closer to the sun, so the earth dries up faster, and it needs more moisture, such constructions are not quite suitable for southern cities.

Installation of a bulk ridge.

To make a large ridge in size from three meters with a height of forty centimeters and a latitude of one and a half meters. The following inventory and raw materials are required:

• Processed croaker with parameters five to twenty.
• Supporting pieces of wood with parameters fifty to fifty millimeters.
• Joinery equipment in the form of a tray for cutting boards.
• Means for processing boards.
• Locksmith tools - hand saw.
• Hammer and nails.
• Iron grill.

Preliminary inspection:

• It is necessary to find a site for ridges, this must be taken seriously by checking all precipitation and weather. The most important advantage of the ridge is that it is universal, and it can be moved from place to place, no matter what the land in the garden or in the yard in the country.
• Cleaning the space. The earth is huddled, weeded, along with this, all unnecessary things are removed, up to the roots and the cockle. Then the soil is plowed with a special machine called a walk-behind tractor or a shovel manually for a good passage of water into the soil. It is also recommended to cultivate the land by adding useful elements to it, if the design parameters allow it.
• The structure itself is cleaned with special means from parasites and fungal diseases, lime may be suitable.

Installation of the frame of the ridge

• Support boards are specially cut out in sizes over forty centimeters. From the slab they make four by three meters, and four by one and a half meters boards.
• All ends of the slab are sawed off with a saw at an angle of forty-five degrees.
• All parts are connected with screws.
• The croaker on the other side is nailed in the same way.
• To make the frame strong, an additional board is nailed in the center.
• To make everything look beautiful, an additional slab is nailed to the surface, their ends are similarly cut off at an angle of forty-five. You can always rest on the made fence when you are growing in the garden.
• An iron grate is placed at the very bottom so that moles, mice do not climb in, and the roots of weeds cannot be pushed through.
• The structure is placed on a specially selected section of the garden. Small grooves are dripping for the bars, the frame should stand straight, without errors, you also need to clear the excess earth from the structure.

The ridge is done, now it is necessary to fill it with earth, humus and start growing crops.

Ridge filling

The elevated ones are considered the most predictable of a large yield of the ridge, if they are unmistakably looked after:

• The first thing is to put a canvas, which is considered sufficiently moist and dense, so the cockle and rodents will not be able to get into the ground of the ridge.
• The second layer is considered to be humus, which decomposes for a long time, for example, sawdust or tiles, old wallpaper. This will warm the ground as well as provide nutrients. Pebbles are also suitable for a change.
• Then you can put green manure, branches, manure, cockle, only herbs. Over time, everything will sit down, and you need to repeat this procedure with fertilizers.
• Further, the frame is filled with earth, minerals twenty centimeters in thickness.
• In conclusion, compulsory care is needed, such as moistening the earth in an interval of two days, loosening the soil.

For a long time, the ridge will be compacted, there is no need to loosen it or weed it, it is necessary to feed the earth with minerals and vitamins again. Natural humus will give warmth to vegetation and soil, which will make for the most comfortable growing environment.

SUPERVISION OF THE READY BEDDING

There is nothing difficult in looking after high ridges; they need to be moistened, weeded, and hilled.You also need to walk along the ridge with a hoe in the form of a rake, this dry earth will be crushed, then you can water it so that water gets into all parts of the soil of the ridge.

In autumn and spring, special herbs for humus are grown, as well as cereals. When pruned, these grasses become nutrients for the plants in the ridges.

In order to create such beauty in your garden, you do not need many hours, special skills, and the like. Summer residents make such wooden ridges for a large amount of harvest. Such a ridge is suitable for planting any crop.
