More and more people are keen on the hustle and bustle of the bustling cities, with a quieter, more natural environment. This could mean moving to a suburban area, but even rural life.
People living in a garden house separate their own gates from the other with fences. Not only are the fences used to designate the area of our home, but also to protect our building and the intimate sphere. Most of the fences are made of metal or wood, or a combination of these, but the fence can also come from a living plant. The gardens can provide green fences with hedges that take time to maintain and care for, but can be an excellent and natural way of separating space.
It is possible to create a living fence from the seedling of woody plants. The early spring, the after-frost period is best suited for planting our fence at a distance of about 30-40 cm. After planting, the plants should be thoroughly irrigated, and each seed should be cut at an height of 8 to 10 cm in order to ensure that branches grow sufficiently later on the hedge plants during their subsequent growth. In the next year, the retraction should be done higher.
Hedge plants benefit from evergreens, because they cover, protect and insulate in the same way in winter. In addition to the foliage evergreens, of course coniferous plants are the best. Naturally, deciduous shrubs can also provide a nice hedge.
The hedge fence is often used within the garden to separate, protect and cover a space. The hedge can also serve as a traditional fence function. In this case, we can grow the hedge alongside the traditional light or wooden fence, which can not only cover but also protect the sound. It is worth raising a hedge that separates from the street.
Naturally, the hedge must be pruned to reach the correct height and shape. The shearing of evergreens should be done in early spring and late autumn. In the case of deciduous evergreens, pruning should be done at the time of bud blasting, and then repeatedly as required. Not only pruning, but also feeding the plants, so in autumn and spring it is advisable to carry out a careful digging, in which case care should be taken not to damage the suction roots. After digging, the nutrient supply should not be forgotten. Compost, manure and fallen leaves can do this.
