Fashion trends in gardening
Just some ten years ago, people still planted endless fields of potatoes at their dachas and went with the whole family in the fall to harvest crops, spent long hours, in the old fashioned way, bending over weeding and fighting pests, suffering from pain in the back and knees, getting overheated and tired ... With the development of new technologies and their availability, it became clear to the majority that it is much wiser and more pleasant to follow new trends in gardening that make the work of gardeners easier, to study the experience of colleagues not only in their own country, but throughout the world, to explore fashion trends in gardening, and also share the best practices themselves, receiving feedback and thanks.
Of the latest useful innovations, the following can be noted.
Tall beds as gardening trends.
Raised beds have a lot of advantages over traditional ones: the site looks neat, planting can be created even in unsuitable places by filling and strengthening fertile soil, easier cultivation, more reliable protection from weather extremes, especially frost, faster growth and maturation of plants. All that is required for planting and harvesting is a double digging.
Vertical gardening.
Saving space and implementing design ideas in a small space - vertical beds, multi-tiered plantings, garlands from small pots are gaining more and more popularity.
Edible gardening.
Instead of ornamental plants and flowers, you can decorate your garden and home with edible plants. Pots and pots with vegetables, fruits and berries, spicy herbs with a design approach can look no less beautiful. There are thornless crops for planting at home, without the risk of colliding with their thorns, which they are equipped with in the wild.
Such a garden and vegetable garden on the windowsill or on the balcony allows you to grow your favorite crops all year round and collect a real harvest. The list of plants that can be grown at home is huge: ginger, cucumbers, herbs, tomatoes, peppers, lemon, strawberries, strawberries, avocados and much more.
Container gardens or "mobile lot".
If the beds are not fixed in the ground, it means that you can grow heat-loving plants on the site and move them indoors in cold weather.
Drip irrigation.
Drip irrigation technology - saving water as a reasonable consumption of the Earth's resources. Each plant receives as much water as it needs, based on the specific irrigation rate for its variety and type.
Mixing cultures.
Combined plantings are more optimal than traditional ones, when each crop has its own bed or flower bed. Considering the properties of plants and their effect on other plantings, it is possible to successfully control pests and attract beneficial insects. The main thing is to know what affects what and how it affects.
Living creatures as part of the garden. Visits of birds and butterflies, fish in the pond will give your site a gentle charm, and will allow you to observe their habits and appearance. If you can choose fish at a pet store and put it into the pond yourself, then you can attract birds with the help of feeders, and butterflies with the help of special plants.
Delight for all senses. Landings of various textures, colors and aromas, the chirping of birds, the fluttering of butterflies, the harmony of a Japanese garden or an alpine slide, the murmur and splash of water - all this is aimed at relaxation, inspiration and tranquility that a well-planned site will give.
The site does not have to be constant and static - change with it.After all, nothing remains unchanged, and trends in our world are moving towards maximum comfort for humans, the use of innovations and fashion trends in gardening, with minimal efforts to create your own space for joy and pleasure!
