1. Preparation

First of all, you need to answer some questions when preparing this flower bed:
• Do you have a place to create this flower bed. The diagram shows the approximate size of the flower bed, but if you wish, you can increase or decrease it, maintain the existing ratio of the number of plants of each species (or remove it from the plan like some plants).
• Check if the soil needs special fertilizer. Most of the selected plants are not capricious, but the soil must be well moistened to create an excellent environment for their development. To check the soil, soak a small area and wait 24 hours. After that, squeeze a lump of earth in your hand, a lump should be formed, but it is easy to crumble when pressed. If the soil is more clay or more sandy, then this means that it is necessary to apply the appropriate fertilizer to the soil before planting.

2. Marking the flower beds.

marking the flower beds by the track

To properly mark the flowerbed, you can use the garden hose to mark the boundaries of planting. Or use the absorbent available to you to mark the boundaries of each planting. After that, use a shovel to dig out the borders for each plant to see where it will be necessary to plant.
If the place for the flower bed is covered with grass, then dig over the area so that the grass becomes a natural fertilizer. If you do not want to deal with weeds in the flowerbed, then treat the point with a chemical preparation and soak the necessary time before planting, which is indicated on the labels of the drug you used.
Regardless of how you decide to cultivate the site, it will be necessary to dig the soil to a depth of at least 15-20 cm.

3. Landing

After marking the flowerbed, the time for planting the plants comes. Ready plants (seedlings) from the pots (bought or planted in advance) and place them in their places in the flower bed. Make sure that the plants are at a sufficient distance from each other to be able to grow and develop normally.

The work is completed. Now you must water the flowerbed in time and enjoy the beautiful view.
