Living hedge in the country is easy and cost-free

Very often, ennobling its plot, we ourselves without noticing, repeat traditional techniques or borrow ideas from neighbors. As a result, all the gardens become similar, like brothers. Beautiful, but boring. It's quite another thing - a hedge in the dacha! Unfortunately, very few of the summer residents use this method, mostly fearing the difficulties with which they presume they may encounter. Today you will learn that a hedge in a dacha is not a luxury, it will not take away a lot of money, time and effort from you during your landing, or during the departure process. And as a result you will get a beautiful, unlike the other fence, which not only protects your yard from wind and curious looks, but also creates a beautiful background for the garden, and will enrich the air with oxygen.

Selection of plants

The main secret when constructing a hedge is the right choice of plants. Of course, I want to put something exotic or rare in my dacha, but think about how much effort you will have to spend on maintaining such a "fence" in a viable state! Therefore, the best option is to use plants growing in your climatic zone, or even better - with you nearby. Then they do not have to adapt to the composition of the soil and temperature differences. In our example, hibiscus was used. This is a very thermophilic plant and it will not survive in most of Russia. But you can use any deciduous or coniferous trees and shrubs growing nearby. For example, a fir hedge will not only be unpretentious, but also green all year round. It will purify the air in your garden and saturate it with phytoncides, the best health resorts of the country will envy it! The main thing is to decide what function your fence should perform and what height it will be. If you have already decided which saplings you will use and are full of enthusiasm, you can proceed!

A hedge in the dacha with his own hands

For work you will need seedlings of approximately the same size, a pruner for cutting them, a twine, a shovel or a pickax, a piece of reinforcement or a mounting for making holes in the ground.

We remove the extra grass, this will make it easier for us. String the twine to mark the boundary of the trench. It can also be of an arbitrary shape, then it is more convenient to use a garden hose for marking . Depending on the density of the land, use a pickaxe or shovel to dig a trench. It will be good at this stage to add fertilizers to it. Peat or humus is an ideal option.

At a distance of 15-30 centimeters with the help of reinforcement or mount make holes for the seedlings.

It is advisable to make them at an angle. As a result of such planting, the plants cross over, making the living fence in the dacha more dense.

It remains to water the plants. When they finally get accustomed and grow up, you can start to pin them and cut them, this you wake up the kidneys and cause the growth of additional shoots.

This is how the result of our work will look in a year. It's time to start forming plants, and cuttings can be used to plant a new hedge.
