Pyramidal flowerbed in the garden: construction and planting.
Flower beds and flower beds are undoubtedly an important part of every garden. They create the general look and decorate your site. There are many types of flower beds: they vary in shape, design, location, methods of seating and care.
One of the most convenient, popular and beautiful types of flower beds is a pyramidal flower bed. It is a stand with a vertical rod, and several disk tanks with soil are mounted on it. Such a flowerbed is convenient in that it takes up a little space, while allowing you to grow more plants. It is suitable for both flowers and for growing strawberries and strawberries.
Often, a pyramidal flowerbed is also understood as a longline landing. This is a type of seating when the tallest plant is grown in the center of the flowerbed, and then smaller plants with each circle. Thus, the general view of such a planting is a pyramid and it looks much more interesting and original than the even monotonous arrangement of plants.
You can buy a pyramidal flowerbed frame in a store or make such flowerbeds yourself.

How to make a flowerbed with your own hands
A pyramidal flowerbed at the cottage with their own hands is within the power of everyone. First you need to determine the location of your flowerbed. A suitable place should be sunny and not too much blown by the winds. Plan in advance which plants will be planted on the pyramidal flower bed and their location. The size of the pyramid boxes will depend on the number of plants and the area of \u200b\u200bthe chosen place. In our short flowerbed lesson, we’ll take the average values.
Step 1
The selected place for the pyramidal flower bed needs to be covered with a netting net (metal hexagonal mesh) measuring 240 cm by 240 cm.
Step 2
We build a square box-base of wood or slate. If you do not have suitable boxes, then you can make them from boards with sawn holes in each. The finished box should be about 20 cm smaller than your net (i.e. 220 cm by 220 cm) and 25 cm high.
Step 3
We put a layer of earth 15 cm into the box.
Step 4
We install a pipe in the center of our duct. The diameter of the pipe should be 10 cm or more. In the pipe, we close the bottom in advance and drill holes for irrigation.
Step 5
We put compost around the pipe to heat our pyramid.
Step 6
We make another box 170 cm by 170 cm. Now we install it in the center box, we also fill it with earth.
Step 7
We make, install and fill the ground with three more boxes, each smaller than the previous 120 cm by 120 cm, 70 cm by 70 cm, 20 cm by 20 cm. The height of each box should be the same as the base 25 cm.
You can also create a pyramidal flowerbed yourself from the most ordinary tires. The biggest difficulty lies in the selection of suitable tires of different sizes. And the technology of creating the pyramid itself remains unchanged, only unnecessary tires are used instead of boxes.
So, our pyramidal flowerbed is ready. Now you can start planting the selected plants.
Planting plants on a pyramidal flower bed
Any plants in the flower bed need some care. You must wisely choose plants for your new pyramid. It is very practical to make a composition of plants that do not require special care and shelter for the winter. It is also necessary to take into account the time of flowering and the perenniality of the planted plants, so that every season your flower bed will please you and not look empty. Think in advance about the adult sizes of the flowers you planted so as not to put them too close. And just before planting, be sure to prepare the earth to dig it and fertilize it.
The pyramidal flowerbed is good because it is suitable for growing flowers, as well as for berries and even vegetables.
If you decide to create a flower bed, then the original solution will be to plant colorful plants on different tiers. Such flowers as nemophile, lavater, azalea, morning glory, passionflower and many others look very beautiful in any flowerbed.
The flower bed pyramid is ideal for growing strawberries and strawberries. Their seedlings are best planted in August or September. Before planting, it is necessary to loosen the earth and season with mineral and organic fertilizers. You also need to spread the roots of the seedlings so that they do not bend up, then fill it with earth and tamp the earth around well. On one flower bed-pyramid, it is possible to plant about 70 bushes of such seedlings, receiving up to 50 kg of berries.
Design of pyramidal flower beds
The design of the flower beds depends only on your own tastes and the scope of imagination. Such a flowerbed can be beautifully painted by coloring each tier in its own color and adding pictures or patterns. It is important to remember that the design of the flower bed-pyramid should be combined with the general view of your garden and other flower beds. You can arrange all the elements of the garden with one color or the same pattern.
Also, the sides of the pyramidal flowerbed can be pasted over with colorful and different in shape small decorative stones or figures. They can also be used to decorate plots of land free from planting in a flowerbed. In addition, the sides of the flowerbed can be decorated with backlighting, so that in the evening your pyramid looks spectacular.
The decor of the pyramidal flower bed, as well as the entire garden, depends only on your imagination and creative abilities.
