It is not an easy task to create a beautiful garden that will bear fruit, create a beautiful cozy atmosphere. You can make a lot of mistakes and not get the expected result. Let's take a look at the 5 most important things to avoid.
No plan
One of the major drawbacks is the lack of planting planning. Everything must be taken into account: the location of the site, the composition of the soil, where there are slopes, lowlands, the location of groundwater and a number of other issues.
It is important not to overdo it with plants, so that some crops do not interfere with the growth of others. To do this, you need to understand how much space the planted plant will need, when it will grow and how close others can be placed to it.
In small areas, so that the trees do not shade each other, dwarf varieties are chosen.
Terrain relief is not taken into account
A flat surface is good for choosing a place for planting fruit trees and shrubs.
If there is a slope to the south or east, plants may bloom earlier and suffer from recurrent frosts. And in dry summers, moisture-loving crops will suffer from a lack of moisture. With this location of the site on top of the slope, it is necessary to plant drought-resistant trees that are not afraid of the wind. For example: common and Ottawa barberry, steppe shrub cherry, dyeing gorse and many more plants that develop well on the slopes.
In the lowland, there are moisture-loving plants: willow, irgu, silver currant, viburnum, elderberry.
Ignoring the issue of groundwater occurrence
The location of the groundwater is also important. If the roots of trees are underneath during development, they will rot and suffocate. This can lead to death. Therefore, it is important that the water is located no higher than 2 m.
In stone fruit, the roots deepen by 1.5 m, in berry bushes - by 1 m.
Wrong choice of species and varieties
If you want to get a good harvest, enjoy flowering and maximum decorative properties, when planting trees and shrubs, you must choose adapted species and varieties to the area on which the site is located.
So, when planting cherries in the Moscow region, you need to know that you can get a good harvest from the varieties Narodnaya Syubarova, Imput, Ovstyuzhenka and a few more that can withstand a frosty winter and rainy spring. But we must remember that the close occurrence of groundwater can destroy even resistant varieties.
Also, when choosing varieties, take into account the ripening dates of the fruits so that you can enjoy them all summer long, and not follow the saying: "It is thick, then empty."
Lack of pollinators
Sometimes, for the development of fruits in trees and shrubs, a different pollinator variety is needed, or there are male and female specimens, without the presence of two sexes, there will be no harvest. Therefore, it is important to know all these subtleties and take them into account when planting plants.
All these nuances cannot be ignored, otherwise all your financial and moral efforts will be in vain.
