Design options
In a compact greenhouse, boards can be used to differentiate between different plantings. In a spacious greenhouse, it is recommended to create high beds with an organized heating and irrigation system. Maintenance of high ridges is easier than for ordinary ridges, and the yield is higher.
The organization of a container garden in greenhouse conditions simplifies the maintenance work. Plants are planted in separate containers, buckets, bags of soil, ceramic pots can also be used. The container can be placed on tables or placed on the ground, slightly deepening them into the soil.
On a compact personal plot, vertical beds are equipped, they can increase the yield, simplify the work of caring for vegetable crops. The work will require plastic or wooden boxes, metal pipes, bottles, etc. The vertical plane is formed using a lattice and serves to fix the containers for landing.
The vertical growing method is used for plants with compact root systems:
- Strawberry;
- arugula;
- leaf salad;
- garden strawberries;
- leek.
Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, lettuce) and some vegetables can be grown in containers. On the site, you can arrange containers in convenient places, boxes can be moved. Old basins, barrels, ceramic pots, wooden boxes are used as containers for plants. For growing vegetables, it is not recommended to use old car tires that release toxic substances. Capacities are selected taking into account the characteristics of the root system of different crops.
Tall and tiered beds
Raised beds rise 30-50 cm above the soil level. This type of beds is designed to simplify the care of vegetables, maintain a neat look of the garden, longevity of plantings, and prevent soil shedding. The advantage of planting in the rapid heating of the soil, rapid ripening of the crop, an increase in the number of fruits. Planks are used in the arrangement of high embankments, but compact stone blocks, bricks, metal sheets, slate can be used.
Multi-tiered plantings are recommended for small areas. The frame can be used ready-made or made independently from wooden or metal slats. Zucchini and vegetables with root vegetables are placed on the lower tier, the middle part is taken away for tomatoes, peppers, fresh herbs. Beans and cucumbers are planted on top. After ripening, the crop is harvested, a flower garden is arranged in the upper part.
An option for high plantings is a bed with trellis. In the arrangement, boxes made of wood, trellises for tall plants are used. The planting yield increases several times, because weed grows less, plantings are protected from insect pests. You only need to loosen the soil.
To create a fence for planting, pipes, sheet metal, corrugated board are used. It will be necessary to pre-treat the metal elements with anti-corrosion agents, then paint. The constructive solution has a long shelf life, is used for large-scale planting, creating a fence for fruit bushes. The elements are fixed with corners, screws and other fasteners. It is necessary to take into account the high cost of materials.
More budget slate sheets, which are cut into fragments of the required size. Sheets are reinforced with metal corners or boards.
