On the plot, massive fences look sadly, and simple designs do not always satisfy the requirements of the owners. Therefore, alternative options for fences, for example, landscape design offers to use a live fence.

It can not only prevent foreign people and animals to enter private territory, but also fit into the picture of the surrounding nature, fill the space with bright colors.

Introduction and Classification

Livestore is a framing consisting of tightly planted plants. It is considered quite competitive, competently thoughtful and decorated fence may be much more serious obstacle for intruders, rather than structures from stone or wood. The durability of such hedges is considered a distinctive feature, because the lifespan of life is measured by centuries.

The main classification is proposed depending on the height of the hedge:

• low, in this case, the so-called borders are obtained. They are not higher than 0.5 m, the choice of plants is strongly limited. Usually, this species is used for the outline of the boundaries inside the site. Among the popular plants are chosen by a barbed quince, the Sugit of Evergreen, Toll, Japanese, dwarf or nesting fir;
• the average height varies from 0.5 to 2.0 m. In such a variation, both fruitful shrubs, coniferous species and spiny representatives are used. The first is the currant and gooseberry, and the coniferous plants prefer Tuy Western. Perfectly fits turquoise ordinary, caticker blackboard. To obtain barbed protection, Barbaris and Piracker are used;
• high fence consists of trees and shrubs. It is well amenable to the formation of HRB, ILM, Maple and Lilac. From barbed plants prefer a hawthorn and Glootichi. For the receipt of evergreen, hedge use spruce ordinary, thus western and tes berry.

Experts recommend using instances that have a short service life. So, shrubs and trees with a duration of life 2-3 years, coniferous rocks - 3-5 years.

Laying fence

Looking a living hedge does not take much time, after the choice of plants, you need to dig a trench with a depth of 50 cm, the width varies from 40 to 90cm. In the case of a single-row landing, they take the minimum value, for two rows width, respectively increase. For the device of the trench, the cord is used, it is important to dig a smooth deepening, the slightened shortcomings will spoil the general type of fence.

Good soil is obtained by laying humus, compost and mineral fertilizers. In the presence of fertile soil, you can simply switch the place of the trench, but to ensure fast-growing living hedges will have to take care of additional nutrition.

As usual, before landing, it is important to hold the roots of cultures in water, seedlings of coniferous representatives should not be left without soil. Directly landing is conducted with the help of a stretched cord, the distance between cultures is determined depending on the type of plants. It usually is 20-50cm. After instillation of the root system, the Earth is compacted and water is watered abundantly.

Care

When choosing plants to decide on the desired result, familiarize yourself with the rules of their landing. But on this care does not end, it is important to ensure the correct care for long-term operation and maintain aesthetic species.

The main care is a complex of work consisting of:

1. soil processing;
2. watering plants;
3. feeding fertilizers;
4. haircuts and trimming;
5. protection against pests and developing diseases.

Only with regular and thorough work with plants is achieved with a neat appearance, because they are in conditions of high competition due to a dense location.

Soil processing

Just a thick planting contributes to the soil seal, and the active growth and development of living plants require access to the oxygen to the root system. For this, the soil loose from hedges in two directions in a width of at least 50 cm. In the case of the presence of trees, it is necessary to paint the ground around the trunk for a radius of 50cm.

The type of root system is taken into account, for example, trees and shrubs it is easy to damage the basis due to the small depth of the roots. Then it is worth carefully loose to the earth, in the case of the core system, you will need a peroxide. Naturally, in parallel, the purification of soil from weeds is performed and mineral fertilizers are added, such as sawdust or peat. It will prevent the growth of undesirable vegetation, the material layer is placed at least 5 cm.

Rules of watering plants

All plants for living hedges require regular irrigation, because the slightest drying of the root system is displayed in general appearance.

In the first month after landing, careful watering is needed for the entire depth of the roots. In the autumn arrangement of hedges, constant moisturizing is not required, as a rule, sufficiently atmospheric precipitation. If the plants transplant occurs in the spring, the hedge should be poured intensively throughout the season. During the absence of precipitation for the week, water consumption should be at least 20-30l on 1M hedge.

Live hedge plants in the country will feel better after spraying with water, this procedure is required in dry, hot and windy weather. Spraying is not carried out in the world, that is, or early in the morning, or late in the evening. Coniferous plants especially need such care, because they are exposed to external influences than a regular sheet.

The most efficient irrigation technology is considered the slow supply of water from the hose. This is how water penetration in the deep layers of the soil is ensured, while it is eliminated.

Fertilizer and subordinate

Improving soil properties is carried out in two ways:

• extractive feeding;
• action directly to the root system.

1. In the first case, special substances are mixed with watering water, so-called stimulants can be added regularly or several times per season. The number of the necessary concentration of active ingredients is chosen according to the supplied instructions for fertilizer. On the package indicate the dosage of the substance depending on the plants present in the hedge. Usually, extractive feeding applies only from the second year of the life of plants.
2. In the soil to the root system, mineral fertilizers can act with the help of thoughtful korothels, or by doing the deepends with hydrobur. Such events can be carried out annually, with fertile soil just once in 3-4 months.

Corps are perforated hose, laid at the root system level. The arrangement is carried out at the plant planting stage, mineral and organic fertilizers are poured into the hoses.

Living fence from the Tui requires a special approach, the root system does not withstand the use of manure. Only mineral fertilizers are allowed, while the dosage for young and old plants is different. Initially, nitrogen-phosphate substances contribute every 3 weeks in the amount of 30 mg / m2.

Haircut of alive hedge

Regular trimming allows you to regulate the processes of growth and bloom of the hedge, with the failure of elementary recommendations, the branches will begin randomly grow. Then about the aesthetic side of the fence can be forgotten. The main tool is the scissors for living inges, they are convenient to remove dried branches and root shoots.

The main emphasis on trimming is carried out in the first years after landing for proper formation of the crown. In this case, the base should always remain wider than the tops - it contributes to the uniform distribution of light rays. In the subsequent period, the haircut is required only twice a year - before flowering and at the end of June.

Soothes should have a slant cut, trimming is carried out before branching. Large cuts are necessarily treated with garden mask, paint or wrair for an hour after trimming.

An example of autumn haircuts is presented on video:

The process also has nuances, because some plants do not need pruning. For example, such shrubs for vibrant hedges like a barberry or a wolper year. These plants themselves beautifully bloom and spread branches, and the haircut can disrupt the natural process. Trees like maple or quince are also not exposed to pruning.

Prevention

The best protection against pests and disease is the regular trimming of damaged and patients of escapes, then they need to burn. Because the spread of pests from the source is very fast.
