Features of vertical gardening - important nuances in choosing plants for the garden
Any vine flowers for the garden require a support, the design of which depends on the intended decor and must meet the following mandatory requirements:
- The strength of the support is calculated depending on the type of plant. For annuals, it is quite enough to stretch a plastic net for cucumbers, but for massive vines, the support should be made of metal and firmly fixed to metal frame to withstand gusts of wind, rain and snow;
- Crawling plant species will find support themselves in brick or natural stone masonry. Maiden grapes or ivy may well replace decorative plaster and become an effective decoration for the walls of a small country house;
- For clinging varieties such as sweet pea or morning glory, it is enough to install a thin mesh (reinforcement) or simply stretch a thin wire on a wooden frame;
- Supporting varieties of loaches require a vertical or inclined support of forty-five degrees. Arched ceilings, all types of pergolas or trellises perfect solution for honeysuckle, clematis and wisteria;
