The vegetable garden is usually perceived only as a source of fresh vegetables and herbs. Meanwhile, the green beds can become important element garden design. In addition, reasonable planning of the garden, taking into account the needs of plants, helps to obtain an excellent harvest.
The main principles of garden planning
1. Maximum light
Most vegetables are light-loving. It is better to choose a well and evenly lit area for your garden. For example, tomatoes reduce yield even if they are in the shade for about 2 - 3 hours a day. To ensure that both sides are heated evenly, the beds are oriented from north to south.
2. Calculate your strength.
Set aside as much space for your vegetable garden as you can—and want! - process. If you are at your dacha only on weekends and not every time, it hardly makes sense to plan a large vegetable garden and strive to plant as many crops as possible.
3. Wide beds are not always good.
Layout personal plot usually starts with marking out vegetable beds. Traditionally, in our vegetable gardens, beds are made 100 - 120 cm wide. This saves usable area garden, but makes it difficult to care for the plantings: it’s not always convenient to stretch. 70 cm wide beds are much easier to maintain. For older people, not only narrow but also raised beds are convenient, over which there is no need to bend over. Raised beds are increasingly dressed in a frame made of boards, or ready-made ones are used, into which fertile soil is poured. In this case, both water and fertilizers are used more efficiently by plants.
4. Don’t get carried away with beds of complex shapes
This makes care difficult and worsens conditions for plants, since the soil dries out faster in the corners, so plants may not develop evenly.
5. The passages between the beds should not be the same width.
For normal care, a distance of 40 cm is sufficient; For raised beds add 20 - 35 cm due to the presence of walls. If the garden is large, you need a through path for walking and walking; you can also make a recreation area. However, before you start forming the beds, think about how to lay the path. They should be wide enough to lead to all corners of the garden, and they should be convenient not only to walk on, but also to carry a cart.
6. Don't be afraid to combine cultures.
Especially compatible with each other. Combination on one bed different forms foliage, shades of color and height of plants looks much more attractive than monotonous rows of plantings.
Beautiful garden bed.
The basic principles of garden design are quite applicable to the vegetable garden, because voluminous decorative compositions can be created from almost any plant.
Suitable for single planting and creating a background tall plants: sunflower, corn, dill, amaranth, Jerusalem artichoke, lovage, rhubarb, tall tomatoes. Sorrel and horseradish will find their place under the rhubarb, mint, oregano, perennial onions, borage and herbs will complement and decorate it with flowers and umbrellas.
Draw a garden plan
The main problems when planning a vegetable garden and personal plot are the need to observe crop rotation and different needs for vegetables. Suppose a family needs one bed of radishes, a third of it, and three cucumbers. Next year, all the same things will have to be planted in a completely different way. On the one hand, this is a plus, since the picture looks new every time. On the other hand, it’s a headache, since this puzzle has to be solved year after year. To see whether all the desired volume of vegetables will fit in the beds or whether some positions will have to be reduced, draw a plan of the garden.
Divide the area into squares, rectangles, triangles. In reality, their size should be such that you can reach the middle of the bed with your hand. Estimate how many sections you will need for which crop (for example, zucchini - 4, radishes - 2, etc.).
Then cut the required amount from a piece of paper and label the name of the crop, its height and color. And then move these pieces of paper along the garden plan, changing their places in accordance with crop rotation plans.
Place short plants closer to the front edge, medium-sized plants behind them, and tall plants in the background as accents. Insufficient height of vegetable plants can be compensated by using raised beds. Naturally, they are arranged in a ladder, the lowest ones being closer to the observer. Don't forget about lighting - this is very important when planning your garden: tall plants should not shade low ones.
What can and cannot be planted nearby.
There are garden crops that cannot grow and develop nearby due to mutual intolerance of root and essential secretions. But there are also plants that are capable of “mutual assistance”: when planted in the neighborhood, they have a beneficial effect on each other. This must be taken into account when planning a personal plot.
They don't like neighbors:
- tomatoes and kohlrabi;
- cucumbers and cabbage;
- onions (onions and garlic) and potatoes, cabbage, legumes, beets;
- legumes and nightshades (tomatoes, peppers).
They grow well next to each other.
Like any important event, planting a future garden on a site begins with planning: how carefully you think through all the subtleties of placing capital and outbuildings, how responsibly you take the choice of a place for trees, shrubs, vegetable and berry plants, the abundance will depend harvest, and the comfort of your stay at the dacha.
When planning a garden, there are many nuances to take into account, so don’t rush, calculate several at once suitable options, and then choose the best one.
If you want your garden to not only bear fruit, but also to look wonderful, you need to put in a little effort and a little imagination when planting it. This is a very responsible job: it involves a large number of simultaneously running processes, in addition preparatory work and planting must be carried out in a short time.
Planting a garden also deserves special attention because mistakes made during this process are difficult to correct in the future, since fruit trees are planted once for many years.
How to fill your garden with beautiful and fruitful plants? In order to plan correctly home garden, use the tips experienced summer residents presented on this page.
Planning the territory of the future garden
Whatever path you choose, laying out a future garden should begin with a clear layout of the territory. All plants must be planted immediately permanent place, since transplants greatly harm the plants. To avoid mistakes, think through the site plan to the smallest detail and sketch out all your ideas.
Using site measurements, draw a scale plan to plan your garden. Such care is needed not only for precise definition landing sites. You can easily calculate the number of selected plants.
When planning different areas of your garden, you usually try to make sure that the playground is clearly visible from the kitchen or recreation area.
It doesn’t matter whether you are planning a berry garden, a vegetable garden on your plot or not – it is simply necessary to create a working area. After all, the garden will be planted with plants that need care.
IN work area They have a shed with equipment and a pit for a compost heap. And since this area is not entirely attractive, it can be hidden with plants.
When the entire site is divided into zones and measurements are taken on the ground, you need to think about the communication between the zones, that is, about paths and paths. It is better if the paths do not run at right angles, but begin to bend smoothly.
Walk along the designated paths, check: is everything comfortable? If all is well, you can move on to placing plants around the site.
If you cannot imagine your life without fresh vegetables, then set aside a well-lit place for your garden, not located on the walkway and in such a way that trees do not interfere with the normal growth of vegetables.
When planning your garden design, so that the plantings please you not only with their appearance, but also the harvest, trees are placed at a distance of 4 m from each other, shrubs - 1.5-2 m. To create hedges, plants are planted at smaller intervals, depending on the type of hedge.
The recreation area can be located next to the house. Berry bushes located on it, formed on trellises, and fruit trees on trunks will create a special coziness. You should not place a swimming pool or other body of water near the playground.
Look at the photo - when planning paths in the garden, you need to take into account that they must provide access to every corner of the site:
The width of the path should be sufficient for a garden wheelbarrow to pass along it.
Here is one example of successful garden planning:
- Low Chaenomeles hedge
- on the lawn
- Hozblok
- Paved paths
- Compost
- Garden of columnar apple trees
- hedge from
- Patio
- Golden currant hedge
- Lawn
- Arch with actinidia
- Playground
- Flower garden
- Composition of bushes - on standard and regular ones
- Garden
- Gooseberry
- Coastal plants
- Gravel path
- Plums
- Three pear trees
Planning a place to plant plants in the garden
As advised experienced gardeners When drawing up a site plan, it is important to be guided not only by your desires, but also by the needs of the plants, therefore, when planning a garden, it is important to choose the right place for planting them.
Any plant needs good lighting for normal growth and development. However, this does not mean that they must be roasted in the open sun all day.
As shown in the photo, when planning a vegetable garden, trees should be placed only in an open area:
This is especially true for plants formed in the form of trellises, cordons and palmettes. This need is due to the fact that when shading the branches will grow unevenly, one-sidedly, stretch out strongly, and, therefore, it will be difficult to shape and further care behind the plantings.
In addition, mature trees have a limited number of branches where overgrowing branches can form. To extend the productive period, it is important to take care of good lighting of these particular branches, because fruiting occurs on them.
When planning a garden on a site, shrubs can be content with a shaded position, since they are less demanding on lighting. Besides root system shrubs are more superficial, which means they are more demanding on moisture conditions.
Many of our compatriots have their own country plots or dachas. It’s rare that a land owner doesn’t take advantage of the opportunity to grow their own crops to pamper themselves with natural food. However, summer residents are not always happy with the arrangement of plantings on their acres, which affects the convenience of caring for the garden, and, accordingly, the harvest.
Development of a project for a plot and layout of a vegetable garden on 6 acres
The layout of the garden and vegetable garden on a suburban area is just as important as the correct one, so this step on the path to arranging a suburban home must be given special attention. To successfully design a garden and vegetable garden, you need to draw it up on paper.
In addition to the house or dacha structure, it is necessary to place on the plan all the necessary plantings that are planned to be grown.
There should be room here for fruit trees and shrubs, and for vegetables, as well as for decorative flowers. For ease of harvesting and caring for plants land plot It is recommended to divide it into several parts.
The decorative area should be located closest in order to constantly please the owners and decorate the house, and the fruit, berry and vegetable area should be some distance away from the house.
Device option landscape design plot
Planning a garden begins with a choice suitable place near the house. In order for the choice to be made correctly, some existing conditions should be analyzed:
Choosing a place for fruit and berry crops
Confusion when choosing a location for certain shrubs is extremely undesirable and can lead to a poor harvest, so drawing up a plan for the location of fruit and berry plantings will help to avoid this. When drawing up a garden plan for 10-15 acres, you must consider the following:
Location of ornamental plantings on the site
For many summer residents, suburban area it is not only a place for growing crops. Most city dwellers go out of town to relax from the everyday hustle and bustle, so a favorable environment is very necessary for them.
In order for recuperation after a hard week of work to be most productive, you should take a responsible approach to the planning of your decorative garden. Let's consider key points, which you need to pay attention to when organizing the site:
Vegetable garden layout
Not a single plot of land for a country house is complete without a vegetable garden.
An original option for arranging a garden in a country house
Particularly hardworking people grow everything that can be accommodated on it, while others only provide themselves with fresh herbs for the summer table. Be that as it may, when planning vegetable beds, you cannot do without drawing up a plan. Let's consider the main features of the garden layout:
- Taking into account that most vegetables are light-sensitive, it is necessary to provide them with sufficient light;
- Particular attention should be paid to watering the beds. To do this, it is necessary to provide a system automatic watering, or simply install containers to collect rainwater;
- It is necessary to think over the location of the plantings in such a way that it is convenient to reach the middle of the bed. Optimal width– 1.2 meters;
- The distance between the beds should be convenient for movement. As a rule, the width of the paths is made at least half a meter;
- In order not to litter the area with cut tops and leaves, you should think about creating a compost pit.
It often happens that the garden space is organized: on the first impulse, under the influence of emotions or under the influence of advertising, seedlings, flowers, accessories are bought, and then all this is placed randomly on the site or according to the “like everyone else” principle. How will this all end? One and the same: it will soon turn out that almost everything is out of place and, as a result, the site is ugly and inconvenient.
To get what you want, you need to act like professionals from the very beginning - plan your garden correctly. There is no other way, only preliminary planning allows you to get the garden you dream of.

What kind of garden do you dream of? This is where we need to stop. This is the first professional step. You need to determine what kind of garden you need, and in a very specific and “material” way. To do this, start with yourself.
Take a blank sheet of paper and, in a calm environment, think and write down: what you like and what you don’t, what your needs, hobbies, family traditions are, how you spend your leisure time, what inspires you, what you want to achieve. This is important. Let each member of your family make such a record; such “research” will then help you when choosing specific options.
Rest place

Now it's time to assemble a "family council." Get everyone together and let everyone make a list of their wishes regarding what they would like to have on the site. First, abstract from the size of the site, as well as whether it is new or already has plantings and buildings on it. Don’t limit your imagination, write down everything you want: a bathhouse, a gazebo, an orchard, a vegetable garden, a patio, a rock garden, alpine slide, a pond, a workshop... Children will probably need a playground, and older family members will need a cozy bench. And where there is a vegetable garden, there is a shed and a compost heap. Discuss your lists together and roughly estimate the area for everything planned. It is quite natural that everything will not fit on the site. Therefore, you need to go through the lists a few more times and cross out everything that you can do without, and it is at this stage that your first list will help you - the list of your personal priorities.
Location of beds
sustainablenovato.org
You have identified your “objects of desire.” The next step is to create an “idea collection.” To do this, you will need a bright folder with pocket files. Gradually add into it all the “images” that are related to your future “design project”: magazine clippings, photographs, drawings, samples of flower beds, gazebos, original ideas, color solutions, materials from exhibitions. At first, don’t analyze feasibility or complexity - just collect everything you like. The most unexpected solutions will come, not necessarily in the same versions as in your “collection”, and from this “kaleidoscope” your unique version will emerge.
Well, now you are ready to start planning. After all, now you know your dream in person. When planning, you need to consider whether you have absolutely new site, or an already inhabited garden. The garden of your dreams is real for you in any case. A fully inhabited garden can also be redesigned one hundred percent, it’s all about the technique used
Shrubs
Use very effective method, which does not require special skills and abilities. It is called the “cripple method”.
1. Garden boundaries. Take a blank sheet of paper and draw the boundaries of your property. To do this, you will need graph paper (scale 1:100, this means that a meter on the site corresponds to a centimeter on paper. This will be the most convenient scale for you). You can take plain white paper and use a scale ruler (such rulers are sold in different scales, choose the one with 1:100). You will also need pencils (simple and colored), a compass, a square, a ruler, tracing paper, a tape measure and a compass. Before drawing, measure the sides of the area with a tape measure. By the way, if you don’t know how to draw at all, documents for your site will help you - there should be a scale plan and its configuration. You just have to scale them up to the larger scale you need.

2. Garden zoning. Here you need to determine which zones (parts of the garden) will be located where and what size they will be. Zones always have some function and are usually distinguished: residential area(house, summer house, summer kitchen, patio, etc.), recreation areas (gazebo, barbecue area, pond, swimming pool), utility areas (garden, vegetable garden, barn, garage, workshop, etc.). But this is only approximate, and you yourself can “establish” any zones, since you already have your own wishes.
The zones should be marked on your “design project”. But not on the sheet of paper where you drew the boundaries of the site! Take several sheets of tracing paper for this. Translate your original plan onto tracing paper in several copies and mark the zones on one of them. They are drawn in the form of abstract spots of arbitrary shape. Sign them. Consider the resulting option. It is quite possible that questions will arise as to where it is better to locate any area, for example, a gazebo. And you just have several cripples. Think about it this way and that, compare the options, move the tracing paper along the main plan and immediately see the best one. So, gradually, you will receive a complete plan of zones (and determine their size according to your needs). At this stage, priority is given to practicality and rationality, because even the most spectacular design is unlikely to please you if the site is uncomfortable.

3. Paths. Draw them on tracing paper. First, use arrows to mark the proposed routes of your movement, and then draw the outlines of the paths along them. Their exact width and shape can be completed later. The main criterion is to be comfortable. For decorative reasons, do not make all the paths absolutely smooth, let there be a slight bend. Loop them around the garden - connect them into a single route. This is both convenient and practical, this is one of the techniques of landscape architecture.
4. Trees and shrubs. Draw them on tracing paper with circles of the appropriate size; to do this, ask in reference books what the size of the crown of the trees you have chosen is in adulthood and what distance they need when planting. General recommendation The placement is as follows: taller plants - in the lower part of the site, beautifully flowering ones - closer to the recreation areas. Shrubs, including berries, can be used to frame the path, while conifers can be used as a barrier from the prevailing winds.
5. Flower beds. Draw everything on another tracing paper, as there will be many options! Arrange them as you like, but do not forget about the lighting requirements. Place for roses - in front of the house and on the south side, conifers and heathers are good in rock gardens, give the entrance to the site to plants that bloom longer than others.
Garden furniture
6. Vertical gardening. We also draw it with conventional icons on tracing paper. Choose “your” types of vertical gardening that you like: screens, arches, trellises, pergolas, etc.
7. Garden accents. Place accents on the schematic plan: garden accessories, containers with plants, think about lighting, spectacular details. In a word, give the site a “zest”.
Well, now - the most exciting moment! By combining all your tracing papers, you will get a plan for your dream garden.

The same method is used here, but with some differences.
1. Analysis of existing conditions. At the very beginning of planning, you should draw the boundaries of the garden. But what follows is an analysis of the existing conditions - what is “given” to you. You need to draw a plan of the site as it is now. So, you have drawn the boundaries of the site, and now put on this plan all the objects that are already on it (trees, buildings, etc.). The resulting plan of what is “given” now needs to be supplemented. This means identifying the individual characteristics of your site. Mark the cardinal directions on the plan, determining them using a compass - this is very important for the correct orientation of future plantings and buildings, this is your light “climate”. Note all the features of the microrelief - depressions, elevations, irregularities and label them. Draw an arrow in the direction of the slope, if there is one. Evaluate its angle by eye. Pay attention to the landscape around you, the proximity of a forest, a pond, a road, how beautiful the views from the site are, and the buildings of your neighbors. Write down right on the plan what you would like to hide and what, on the contrary, you would like to reveal. Depict objects on the plan as simple geometric shapes– circles, rectangles of the appropriate size, preferably colored ones.
If your garden is lived-in, you know a lot about it. Therefore, be sure to mark on the plan the direction of the prevailing winds, the “movement schedule” of shadows during the day, the location of the warmest and coldest places (those where frost is guaranteed and snow lasts longer). It would be very good, of course, to find out the level groundwater and soil composition (approximate, exact analysis is not needed).
It is very good to use a camera when analyzing existing conditions. It will be very convenient to photograph some corners of your estate so that you always have material for thought before your eyes and not miss a single detail.

2. Zoning of a habitable garden. The main thing when zoning is to take into account those individual characteristics that you identified in the first step: relief, surrounding landscape, existing buildings, climatic features. If it opens especially from somewhere beautiful view– it is logical to make a recreation area there if there is a lowland or depression – best place Can't find one for the pond. The most important design secret: most of the disadvantages of your site are actually advantages, this is luck, it is your individual style, it is thanks to them that your site will become unique!

If the site has already been developed, there are buildings and plantings, then you need to consider each “object”, how it suits you and fits into the new zoning. There is no need to be afraid of drastic changes, since everything can always be adapted to new conditions; there are special decorative techniques for this.
All next five steps– plan paths, plants, flower beds, vertical gardening and garden accents on separate tracing papers, similar to how it is done when planning a new garden. But before that, after completing the zoning, mark on tracing paper only those objects that you would like to leave in the garden, and abstract from the rest - do not transfer them to your project.
Happy owners of their own land plots, be it a dacha or private house, almost immediately face the problem of competent zoning of the territory. Now there are a lot of landscape design specialists, but our people are closer to planning a garden with their own hands. The house, garden and vegetable garden are their own, and here it is important to initially take into account all the nuances, because remodeling it will be problematic or even impossible.
Common types of planning
Advice: in the vast majority of cases, when designing a standard garden with your own hands, experts adhere to the proportions according to which residential buildings account for 10% of the territory, 15% is taken by the recreation area and outbuildings, 75% is given to plants.
Despite the apparent diversity, the planning of a garden plot can be done in four main ways.
- The most common is the rectilinear or parallel-perpendicular option. They choose it not because it has any special beauty, but rather because it is easier. Plus, this arrangement is subconsciously associated with order.
Important: parallel-perpendicular forms, in terms of landscape design, create the effect of reducing space.
Therefore, planning can be carried out in this way garden plot 10 acres or more.
- The direct opposite would be the circular arrangement option. Let's say right away that this is a fairly specific method, and it requires certain knowledge in landscape design. An orchard and flower beds can be included in this way, but with a vegetable garden it will be more difficult.
- The diagonal arrangement can to some extent be called universal. Thus, it can be designed as a layout for a garden plot of 15 acres or more. So is the arrangement on the standard six hundred square meters. The diagonal orientation creates visual volume and at the same time makes it possible to easily arrange the location of various zones on the site with your own hands.
- The fourth option can safely be called creative. There are no specific laws here; as a rule, it is a symbiosis of several types described above. Most often it is used in areas with incorrect configuration and broken perimeter lines.
Advice: before starting to implement your project, you must draw it on paper.
If you purchased ready plot, on which there are already some buildings and plantings that you do not plan to remove, they should be noted first and then proceed from the resulting picture.
Laws of rational distribution
Of course, it is much easier to plan the location of buildings, a garden and a vegetable garden on 10 acres; this is the very critical square area on which such landscape delights as an open pond or a separate children’s playground will look appropriate. But owners of smaller plots should not be upset either; with the right approach, you can make a masterpiece out of any territory.
In any project, the house is the main object, attention is paid to it first, so you should start with it. The approach here can be twofold, depending on the overall focus.
If the site is being developed with the aim of growing a good crop and in the future it should become overgrown fruit trees and a rich vegetable garden, then it is better to locate the buildings on the outskirts. Moreover, from the north or north-west side, so as not to block the sun from the plants.
In an area intended exclusively for recreation, with lawns and flower beds, it is more reasonable to locate housing in the center or closer to the front part. In both cases, it is recommended to hide outbuildings in the depths of the territory; if this is not possible, then they should be decorated with shrubs or vineyards.
It is better to place a recreation area with a barbecue and appropriate furniture closer to the house; in small areas it is appropriate to make a covered terrace adjacent to the house; in large areas it is possible to arrange a gazebo. This will make it more convenient to establish the necessary communications. But, undoubtedly, such a zone should be hidden from prying eyes.
If you would like to receive regularly good harvests and admire the beauty of your flower beds all season long, then all green spaces should receive as much sunlight as possible. Also great value has a layout diagram orchard and gardening with your own hands, because the price of improper planting is the lack of harvest.
Arrangement of an orchard
Let's assume that all the pains of creativity associated with arranging different zones at your dacha or in a private household are already behind you and the time has come to purchase seedlings. The most common mistake young owners make is the desire to plant more and more of everything.
But we should not forget that fertile land is not dimensionless and no more than 7 tall, fruit-bearing trees can fit on one hundred square meters.
With a low or flat planting, you can accommodate up to 15 healthy trees and still have room for a small vineyard and shrubs. IN in this case It is much better to plant less than to invest in high-quality seedlings, the price of which can be rather high, and after a couple of seasons to uproot the trees, because they develop poorly and interfere with the growth of neighboring plantings.
Review your list.
Think about whether you really need all the plants you plan to plant.
- Sea buckthorn is certainly useful, but after the first harvest, interest in it drops sharply. Intensive growth, thorns and problematic harvesting will quickly discourage the desire to grow it; it’s easier to buy 1 - 2 jars on the market.
- Cultivated stunted walnut rare, in 80% of cases they will sell you a regular one. Its crown will cover a large area, and its roots can tear out a light strip foundation. It is appropriate in large areas or next to a permanent cottage, creating shade over the barbecue area.
- Hazelnuts will take a quarter of a hundred square meters and will produce a lot of shoots.
- One viburnum is enough; it is better to plant it on the outskirts, near the fence. The plant is unpretentious and tolerates shade well.
- Chokeberry or chokeberry, not for everyone. The fruits are good for blood pressure, but this plant loves the sun.
Any plant reaches for the light, and until it reaches its goal, it will not bear fruit normally. Therefore, by planting a seedling in a deliberately shaded area, you thereby doom yourself to a lack of harvest, and the plant to eternal struggle. In this case, even the best grafted seedlings will not save you.
The size of the shadow is approximately half the height of the tree. An area where there is no sun for half a day or more is considered shaded. But don’t worry, you can place paths, design elements or flower beds in these places.
Important: trees planted near high walls will “shy away” from them and will need to be shaped.
The only exception is the southern direction.
If the goal is big harvest then it is better to form trees with a height of no more than 2 m, in some cases the height can reach up to 4 m. A comfortable distance between trunks should be twice the height of the tree, in other words, there should be at least 4 m between two-meter plants.
Try to place tree lines, vineyard trellises and rows of bushes from north to south. So you get additional opportunity landings between rows tall plants There are also low-growing crops; there will be enough sun for everyone.
A few words about the garden
Ease of movement in the garden is important. The comfortable size of the paths should be at least 40 cm. They should be comfortable not only to walk on, but also to bring in fertilizers or harvest crops.
Based on many years of experience, we can safely say that the parallel-perpendicular arrangement of tracks is inconvenient in this case. You will constantly trip over right angles and curse sharp turns.
On vegetable beds The law works: the shorter the path, the better. Therefore, feel free to combine diagonals, semicircles or any other configurations that are convenient for you.
The width of the beds may vary, but nice garden bed should be raised to a height of about 20 - 30 cm and edged with a border. The internal space is completely filled with fertile, fertilized soil.
Cabbage, root vegetables and some bush legumes like beds at least 1 meter wide. Beds for climbing beans, tall spreading tomatoes, cucumbers or melons can be made 60 cm each.
You should also consider mutual love or hostility of cultures.
- It is recommended to plant rhubarb, sorrel, perennial onions and horseradish separately from the general planting.
- A variety of greens, such as dill, parsley, spinach, rukala and other salad greens, will find their place between the main beds.
- Cabbage does not tolerate proximity to tomatoes, strawberries, onions or potatoes. Onions have a negative attitude towards legumes or turnips. Cucumbers do not need to be combined with tomatoes, rhubarb or carrots.
- If we talk about a favorable combination, then legumes, corn and sorrel get along well with zucchini. Tomatoes love to grow next to parsley, beans, carrots or onions.
Important: do not forget about crop rotation.
Related plants should not be planted in one place for more than 3 years, after which redevelopment should be carried out.
Otherwise, land depletion may occur.
The video in this article reveals some of the secrets of landscape design and DIY garden planning.
Conclusion
The layout of a garden and vegetable garden on 15 acres belongs to the category of layout of large areas. Unlike the miniature 6 acres, there is already room for creative thought to run wild. But we do not advise you to neglect the above recommendations; correcting errors may take a lot of time.
