Gardening Guides: Hedgerow

Functions and types of hedges.
In hedges several functions. If you look at this element of the garden, from the perspective of landscape design, this is one of its main elements. Hedge divides the land, creates harmony, comfort, and the geometric rigor. In terms of gardening, hedge is protection of fruit crops for your garden, from the icy winter winds and the scorching summer sun. Do not forget about protection from dust and noise. Not least in our time.

Hedge, itself serves as a decorative composition, but it can also serve as a backdrop for flowers and stunted shrubs giving them additional charm emphasizing the details.

External and internal hedges vary in height and have different purposes clear from the title. There are hedges of one type of plant or several. The first requires greater care and look more beautiful and more severe. The second type of hedges will save you time, but usually they take up more space.

One-species of evergreen hedges, clipped plants the most popular with garden designers. It will look great all year round.

In forming the hedges, you need to take into account the penetration of the sun’s rays on the lower branches. If they will not be enough light, then your track will have a different color shade that will look bad for a panoramic overview. Moreover, in low light penetration, there is likely to be infected plants. Just keep in mind the degree of oppressed among other plants. This will be discussed in the articles section – gardening.

The history of hedgerows.
This type of garden design came to us from Europe. Hedges originally appeared in medieval monasteries and aristocratic gardens. Later they migrated to urban landscaping. Although if we take into account the Russian village fence, we can say that the history of the hedge, we also have the attitude.

Hedge shrubs beginning applied in our country on an industrial scale in large farm gardens bookmarks. Thanks to our climate, this kind of defense is popular until now. Hedges in the field, constrain the snow and act vetrolomami.

Plants for hedges.
Before selecting plants for hedges, decide for yourself four questions: For what purposes are hedges, whether it be a hairstyle, height, duration for which you want to, that he formed.

Goals is two, and decorative fencing. If you do not want to spend time grooming, this is one group of plants, but if you have the right aesthetic lines, then you need to plant plants that need, and carry haircut.

For neformiruemoy hedge suit elder, honeysuckle, Tatarian and Maak, saskatoon, hawthorn, sumac, lilac persian, barberry Tunberg, wrinkled rose, snowberry white, almond low, Prunus tomentosa, etc.

If you want to fence in your area from uninvited guests, then plant a hedge of barberry. Very beautiful plant, but having the studs. Barberry is considered the most thorny plants for hedges. Though it is not nice to cut, hardly anyone dares to cross a barbed-brush.

Excellent in the hedge will look hawthorn. This shrub is considered a classic plant for hedges. He tenevynosliv. His crown is symmetrical. The leaves change color in autumn.

Coniferous trees also look great in a series of hedges. This applies particularly to tuyam. Most of these species are well cutting our hair. They are frost-resistant and hardy to the city’s smoke. These plants should be used in the design of the garden, if its main task is to correct geometry.

As we have already mentioned above, before you buy seedlings, decide the height of future hedges. For meter fence (also called border) suitable: barberry Tunberg, gooseberries, boxwood and alpine currant. Three-meter (hedge): Hawthorn, cherry steppe, honeysuckle, saskatoon, cotoneaster. For high, more than three meters, fencing (live wall) can be used: maple, blackthorn, larch, western thuja, and bird cherry. This list is not definitive. You can find most plants given: frost, height and soil composition. Do not forget about this aspect as the climate. Be careful: expensive, advertised plants are often not suitable for our area.

Bookmark hedge.
Hedges, occupy one place very long time, so training must begin with the soil. To do this, dig a trench with a bayonet spade. Width from 0,5 to 1,5 meters. Depending on the plants you have applied for hedges. At the bottom of the pour peat, manure or humus, and loosened all the forks. Now you can plant seedlings. Cover up their land should be mixed with organic fertilizer.

Saplings should be reconsidered and separate dead, broken roots. They should be planted in moist soil.

Planted saplings of deciduous plants trimmed to 1 / 3. hawthorn should be cut by 15-17 cm of soil. And evergreen conifers after planting process means to impede evaporation of moisture.

Further processing is different from other garden crops. Watering during the hot days and dressing during the growing season.

Hedge on “quick fix”.
Quick options to address barriers new site will be a hedge of willow. This suit almost all types except the willow white willow (willow), too high tree and broom, it is not very durable.

For such hedges need to hammer the pins with cross members along the perimeter of the site (by type of trellis) and along them to plant cuttings of willow. For a thick hedge, through a cutting should be planted at an angle. Subsequently, to have adopted cuttings, bind to each other, and on the site is not accepted – to plant new ones.

Hedge, an essential element and an integral part of any garden. Its versatile functions and a decorative element for years to come will not only please the eye, but also to protect you and your garden from external influences. Besides, you can always hide behind the hedge of any unnecessary element area.

Gardening: Conserving Water

Anyone who has seen recently the Sea of Galilee, must have noticed the sad state and not for nothing, opened recently the relevant government ministries, a huge campaign, calling the public to save water. The various municipalities and local councils, noticed the phenomenon of waste valuable asset recently raised water rates significantly reduced, the assumptions made for gardens. One of the great water-eating, is the green grass, that we meet, gardens, playing fields, soccer fields, roadside interchanges. Therefore, the water shortage in the country, leading the dealers in gardening, to search for different solutions as a substitute for grass and one of the most efficient alternatives, expanding recently, is the use of artificial grass – synthetic, made of different plastic materials. Many soccer fields, planted, re-covered with grass ‘fixed’. Many municipalities use a plastic grass carpet, the separation between roads and playgrounds and even a number of private houses with gardens, this solution gradually pass. It should be remembered that beyond the huge savings in water, even minimal care maintenance costs. But like everything in life, wherever there are benefits, too, naturally have a few drawbacks. Artificial grass and its own advantages, but also some drawbacks. Achabmadsah not natural, artificial lawn is not the same pleasant excess moisture evaporation process, causing both to reduce the temperature in the garden, unable to meet the important process of gas exchange of photosynthesis, we lack a sense of softness and sitting and also guided the pleasant smell with the mowing and rising material prices is modest at all, depending on the quality of the grass.

Some argue that for the water savings should preferably assume that grass and even at the cost of global environment, that in addition to saving water and fertilizer and pesticides, were spared many hours fixed for mowing. Arguments offered by advocates of: grass is always ready to use and makes the garden look is always consistent and tidy, not avoided rain groundwater seepage as paved surfaces. Another advantage of these discounted carpets, you can always change your mind. Although the economic cost expensive, but still more than just pick up the carpets and gravel than paved surfaces or break Yatsuki concrete. However, opponents argue passionately, how we have changed the nature? After all, artificial vegetation transition here is no longer far. Ecologically, any extra heating in areas such as the Mediterranean basin is an injustice to the environment and above all, use the grass ‘fixed’ lost sense of connection to nature, gardening is really for her all her years levels. Shimon Hemo-old resident of Gan Yavne and CEO of Simple Green, which specializes in manufacturing and distribution of synthetic grass, artificial grass can see almost only advantages: “depletion of water reserves requires each of us to examine the ways you can reduce water consumption. One way that is beyond the artificial turf, which provides fresh green shows his water consumption of course is zero. In recent years, has over the synthetic grass soccer fields, urban gardens, private gardens and traffic islands. Even the Bahai Gardens in Haifa, one of the world’s spectacular landscaping projects, select the artificial grass to cover part of the famous rebel Caramel and visitors find it difficult to identify which is natural grass and some artificial. Water consumption is one of the major considerations transition synthetic grass, but not the only one. No artificial grass needed mowing, fertilizer or spraying. Is not growing weed growth and does not constitute a cushion of ants and other insects. Artificial grass keeps the texture and prevents the embarrassing appearance of baldness or dry areas. Rain in the artificial grass with no mud quickly drained annoying infected feet. Nor did he in danger of being freezing cold and frost days, as they were last winter. Cleaning the artificial grass is simple and easy way with a water hose or blower.

Simple Green ‘- was founded in 1995 by Simon Hamo, a founder of synthetic grass carpet industry in Israel. Headquartered in Ashdod and it runs teams licensed installers throughout the country. The company imports and six types of grass (Junior, Princess, King, Emperor, Emperor – Top Napoleon) and markets its products through the marketing networks and professional landscaping industry – 40 branches of the company’s core network Great Gardening input supply in Israel. Also, the company is developing models, while maintaining a hard match in adaptation to climate for private gardens, roofs, balconies, kindergartens and public areas.


   

Synthetic Grass – A Substitute

Always wanted the green area of grass in the garden, which you can step on, to rest, have fun with the kids, to host guests and enjoy the sight of the garden green and fresh. But the grass is relatively heavy consumer of water, arid our country in recent years developed acute water crisis that requires us to match your dreams a reality. Vubachne, do not have to give up the desire to spit, you can simply replace the natural grass is always beautiful green grass, which does not dry up and turning yellow, do not grow herbarium, does not require fertilizers and pesticides and requires cutting – which is the synthetic grass.

Synthetic grass made of various types of plastic fibers (polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) pasted or woven rubber layer (a thin latex) that can be tightened to the ground. Some manufacturers market range and types of synthetic grass, different qualities. Fiber level also varies, from 10 mm cheapest model for simple on and 25-30 mm to 40-50 mm in other models. Quality is determined by the thickness of fiber weaving density, texture, color and more. The grass has a dense fine fiber that is considered more than quality.

Some models are not dense and therefore require silicate sand fill or rubber chips Gross Spread it on the grass to keep the fibers upright for long. Two types of fill has its drawbacks. You can not wash lawn filled with silicate sand for the sand wash with water, you can not use a vacuum to remove dust from the grass, the sand may serve as a platform is growing herbarium and absorbs odors such as provisions for our friends who leave dogs and cats. Gross rubber gets very hot in the sun, and emits toxins being used over time, especially during the warming sun. So if possible, we recommend more use of their synthetic grass types of fiber weaving dense guarding the imputations over time.

The type of synthetic grass in our garden also selected according to intended use. Most kindergartens, bathing pools edge game zones choose the low grass, used a carpet-like cover. Stepping designated areas, use of the game choose a more erosion-resistant grass. Area exposed to the sun is important to select grass with high durability to the sun, not to reject and be resistant to heat. Private garden where the grass of the plan to use a meeting, hosting a game, it is important to choose a model to be smooth, soft, too, will resemble the feeling of natural grass as possible. Most types of synthetic grass are provided in varying shades of green, and some types of grass that come with green and yellow colors woven together, looking natural. Synthetic grass at a height of about 2.5 to 3 cm right after installation will show a low lawn well cut, and most suitable for private gardens, public and traffic islands. Synthetic grass high (4-5 cm) and dense and suitable for private gardens, sports fields, etc. .

Price of course is derived from synthetic grass quality. Add high-quality models combustion retardant materials, to prevent burning of a cigarette case or coal falling on him. Such grass burning point and not be spread. In addition to high-quality models treated against UV radiation which prevents color fading. The amount of material against UV radiation grass fiber cloth added determines the degree of resistance to fading, usually affects the manufacturer’s warranty duration.

All models, the price of a square foot is relatively high synthetic grass and natural grass. The price of synthetic grass begins sq. m – 45 NIS (including VAT) only rugs, to NIS 200 and the highest quality. Popular models cost about NIS 120-150 per square meter including VAT. The bed should be prepared for, and therefore high initial investment required in establishing the lawn. However, synthetic grass saves the current treatment required a natural grass – do not need irrigate, fertilize, eradicate or cut down. In light of water shortage water prices rising, the investment can bring itself within about 3-4 years duration may also be shortened if more will be raised water prices for household use.

Synthetic grass surface preparation is recommended to align the ground roughly Holding. If the area is not straight, relatively high level in the garden or is there an old lawn, have revealed the area (apart from land) to the height – 70-10 cm below the desired height of grass intended. This layer infrastructure platform spread straight and tight. Kurkar Gross is the cheapest material to create a platform infrastructure, but not always possible to achieve. It also makes gravel soil were sealed and then when you use it the drainage slopes should be prepared to lead the water side of the grass. instead of gravel can be taken Shumshumit Gross and mix it with sand. Alternatively, You can use the soil of Toph (Toph Gross mixed with sand, saving materials in the mixing) which is available for supply throughout the country and benefits in that it drains the water directly into the ground beneath it. carpet grass themselves have holes to drain water layer Ahltx. the substrate material to a height spread all 7 cm were removed from the field, but do it gradually, in layers of 2-3 cm when wet and press down each layer by using a vibrating clip (called C Becca, that can be rented at service stations powered tools) or from a cart road. During the tightening care if necessary to make proper slopes for drainage of rainwater. If a large surface (100 sq. m. or more) must be installed on drainage canals as well – special channels are covered with plastic mesh, leading to the water under the grass. If we are designating the synthetic grass short-term use of two or three years, and then remove it, you can put a thin layer of a bed to save on cost of preparation.

Synthetic grass reaches 2-4 meters wide cylinders, it has to scroll along the longest section of the surface. The next line will be located adjacent to the first line, when the fibers pointing in the same direction. Sew the tracks to each other and receiving broadband users a uniform carpet of cloth or PVC tape. To this slightly raised margins of the two tracks, coupled to the ground transmission line between them using special non-rusting nails. Spread paste on the line carpet adhesive (Adhesive PVC) paste to the two ends of the tracks. Strengthen nails connections required in the end, and then nails all around the grass in particular. Begin to nail each side of the grass and the tracks in the middle from the side or corner bar to lift the paper, one side then the other side, to prevent waves and surpluses.

You can also install synthetic grass on the paved surface. In this case you can use them coupled strips on the surface scale at regular intervals and to them coupled with the carpets of grass. If you ever want to remove the synthetic grass, use the Paste sheet only points affixed the paved surface to which glue the grass, thus avoiding crisscrossed strips of ugly signs will give back when you remove the grass.

Market to buy the synthetic grass installation kits. Estimates contain quantities of nails, glue strips that provide you – 20-25 sq. Grass. These systems you will find a sandy silicate – plastic barley designed to disperse on the lawn after the full linkage to allow the fiber straight softened way.

Most types of grass come with warranties of between 5 to 9 years (depending on manufacturer). Proper installation of good quality synthetic grass surface is retained even for 10-15 years and there are also manufacturers that ensure a greater length of time.

After installing the lawn, you should keep it long. Lawns filled with sand to brush occasionally to keep the fibers upright. When put games or facilities for children on the lawn area, you may want to do this on tiles or other similar surfaces to distribute the weight, so my feet facility will not leave holes or marks in the grass. After removing the device can brush the grass to align the fibers. If your children like to set up a tent in the garden – you may want to put the pegs on the grass (if possible) because they will leave holes in the synthetic grass. Or use the pegs minutes, plus you can mark the spot and come back and stick the pegs in the same place every year. Secretions of dogs and cats should avoid as much as possible on the lawn, and if it encountered unwanted leftovers to collect, wash if possible (without filling sand and grass). If the lawn is the area exposed to the sun on a summer day, you can dampen it slightly before stepping and sitting on it (on grass with no sand filling) – because plastic tends to get warm in the sun does not always pleasant to the touch. If the lawn is filled with dust, sweep or brush can be filled with grass. Grass without filling sand can suck it or wash it down the pipe or sprinkler for only minutes.
