DIY flowerbed-spiral 36 photos ^Favorite

 

You can try to make such a flowerbed-spiral, or you can call a garden-bed and plant, say, not with flowers, but with herbs. A very convenient thing, if you choose the right plants. From above, the soil will be dry and there is more sun, from below the shadow and wet, so if you plant it where you need to, there will be a green garden for the whole season. Just do not be greedy and do not overdo it in size, the radius should be no more than 1.5 meters, so that you can reach the middle.

 

 

 

 

 

Stages of breaking flower beds

 

• Clear the area in size. Drive a peg in the middle, measure the distance of the future flowerbed from it along the radius, make a markup.
• Expose the stones along the border with a spiral, sprinkle them with soil.
• On the pre-compacted ground, lay out the next round.
• So lay the spirals to the very top.

Tall flowerbed spiral

An even more beautiful flowerbed-spiral will turn out if you make it from natural stone or bricks. Then you can make the flower garden higher and even organize a small pond on the side. The process of building a bed of bricks or pavers is the same as described above. You will also need cardboard, gravel, sand, fertile soil and fertilizers.

 

 

1. Prepare the site.
2. You can draw a diameter with a peg or bucket, as shown in the picture in the gallery, just fasten the twine with a peg and draw a spiral.
3. Cover the prepared area with cardboard, there will be no harm from it, but it will stop the growth of weeds.
4. Then moisten the cardboard with water and scatter organic substances on it (for example, potatoes, beets or other vegetable waste), this is necessary so that the cardboard decays faster in a natural way.
5. Cover the whole thing with gravel from above.
6. Lay out the spiral from the material you prepared (brick, stone) and strengthen it with sand, and the brick can be planted on cement.
7. Fill the structure with soil.
8. For the reservoir, you can use any suitable container (basin, bucket, barrel).
9. Add fertilizer to the soil.
10. Then you can start planting plants.

Small flowerbed spiral

 

You can also make a small flowerbed-spiral, slightly changing the configuration. It does not take up much space, you can always allocate a little space for it somewhere in the corner of the yard or on the site.

 

 

 

 

 

For a small flowerbed-spiral does not need such a thorough markup. Make a small hill and stone it with stones.

Then expose the outer spiral and fill the space with earth.

If you have paving stones, also good. You can bind them with a solution, but without it you can always disassemble, replace or correct the stones. Draw the shape of the future "snail" and lay out the first row along the contour. Then the next, lay the bars as tight as possible.

Closer to the center, increase the height of the masonry. At the beginning of the curl we lay two rows of stones, and closer to the middle we increase the height by 3 or 4 rows, at our discretion. Fill the prepared “snail” with soil with fertilizer and fill it with water. Now you can plant plants.

The flowerbed spiral is suitable for growing flowers and aromatic herbs, even greens for the table, which will save space in the garden. You can also combine, let’s say beautiful flowers from above, and in the lower tier, where useful herbs or greens for a salad easily reach. Here are some options that may suit you.
