A summer cottage is not just a place where a person comes to work in the beds or take a break from the city in the fresh air. For some people, dacha is a way to get creative. If you want to build something unusual on the site, then a spiral flower bed is a great option. It will decorate the site, and its unusual shape will arouse the interest of neighbors.
Site preparation
Initially, you need to prepare a site for a flower bed. To do this, you need to get rid of weeds and cover this place with cardboard dipped in water. The cardboard will block access to the sun's rays and the weeds will not have a chance to grow in this place.
Making the base
The cardboard must be completely covered with gravel. Make the gravel layer small. Next, you need to lay out the spiral with bricks or stones. The brick looks prettier, but it is much easier to lay out the form with stones.
Wall installation
The wall should grow evenly. Moreover, the highest point must be located in the center, and the lowest must be at the beginning. The wall is best made of brick. The wall should start with one brick and the number should gradually grow towards the middle. Do not install a wall too high, a height of half a meter or even a meter will be optimal.
Laying the soil
By analogy with the previous paragraph, it is necessary to pour soil into the flowerbed in an increasing way - a small amount at the beginning and most of all in the center. The soil should be selected based on the preferences of those plants that will grow in the flower bed. You can use pre-fertilized soil or add fertilizer later.
Planting plants
When the spiral bed is ready, you can start what all this was started for - planting plants. It is important not to forget that plants that get along well with each other need to be planted together on the same flower bed. Plants should not overlap each other with sunlight and take water from each other. You can make a variegated flower bed of bright colors or plant fragrant spicy herbs.
By installing a spiral flower bed on your site, you can bring something interesting and truly stylish to a boring and monotonous garden. In addition, such a flower bed is very easy and quick to make and does not require significant financial and labor investments. every summer resident who has a desire to make a flower bed should take a closer look at the spiral version.
