For those to whom the usual flower beds already had time to get bored, an alpine slide in the garden will be an excellent solution. With his hands, this beauty is not difficult to create, but all neighbors will just be jealous of such a creation. Next, we will describe not only how the alpine slide is made in the garden with our own hands, but also the plants that are relevant for this, as well as the kinds of design of such a composition.
Structure of the flower bed
In this case, an alpine slide is considered , in which a hillock, raised from an earthen embankment, stones, as well as flowers, is included. You can use boulders of different sizes, both larger and smaller, but their size should depend on the size of the selected plants. As the largest stones, it is best to use granite, and as low - limestone and sandstone. In combination with them, you can plant any flowers. Of the stones you can form different compositions, while for the colors there is a lot of space. When the slide is made with your own hands, the distance between the stones should be kept from half a meter to a meter, not completely filling them with earth, so that one side remains clean and beautiful.
You can consider the process of creating a flower bed. Alpine hill with their own hands, the photo of which can be seen on the page, begins to form as follows. The largest stones should be laid around the perimeter of the building around. Do not place boulders too tightly to each other, because the water through them should pass freely, and not stagnate among the flowers. Using pre-prepared land, you should fill the inner circle with the height of the stones. The land should be high-quality, well-fertilized, then the flowers can be well established - it can be chernozem. The fresh earth should be abundantly watered and tamped, so that it does not sink after the first rain. Over the ground, stones are again stacked, inside a large circle around a smaller one, not too tightly to each other. Again, everything is covered with earth, it is rammed, and then again stones are laid out, and all this must be done to the very top of the hill. The top can be left for the most beautiful bush or to place there a very attractive stone.
Alpine slide in the garden with their own hands is simply unthinkable without flowers, so their choice should be approached responsibly. It is appropriate to plant low-growing plants, whose height does not exceed half a meter. Alpine poppy is very suitable for such compositions. It has a low straight stem. Planted under winter or spring. With a poppy blossom, the large-flowered cactus is excellent, but its flowering period is from April to May. It is appropriate to use mountain dwarf pine, with which you can emphasize the overall beauty of the entire composition. From April to May the boletus blooms, which will also look great in such a composition. He has beautiful little flowers of pink color. Alpine hill in the garden, created by its own hands, simply can not do without such a plant as a lagurus, which is a grass with fluffy spikelets. Any low flowers will also be appropriate, you can use blue dwarf trees.
