Black non-woven material is usually used for mulching soil under strawberries. But last year I decided to use it as a protection against weeds for phlox. I want to share my experience with the readers of my favorite magazine.
Preparing the flowerbed
In spring I found a comfortable place under the bed, carefully selected weeds, added humus. Dug and planted phloxes at a distance of 50 cm from each other. The flower bed was a length of 4 m and a width of 1,2 m.
The film is in motion
Covered with black non-woven material, cutting through the cross-holes for each bush. In the spring they are low, so it can be easily handled. The width and length of the film should be such that from each edge of the flower bed remained at 0,5 m.
Flower bed in frame
In the middle I put a long pole - to make it heavier and so that after shrinkage of the soil there should be a recess for irrigation. Over time, it can be removed.
From the polycarbonate and the bars made a frame and deepened it a bit into the ground so that the water does not spread. The film from the edges turned inside the frame.

Space for creativity
It turned out a beautiful and very comfortable flowerbed.
Previously, a lot of time was spent on weeding 18 bushes of phlox, and last summer I never blew a flower bed! Watering and feeding plants is very convenient. And how much time remains for creativity!

At our dacha there is a heavily depressed area where water often stagnates. What kind of floral arrangement can be arranged here?
#
In a low place, you can arrange a so-called "marshy" flower garden and plant moisture-loving plants in it.
In the marshy garden, such lovers of moisture as ferns, water irises, kaluzhnits, labaznik, derbennik, some cereals and sedges will feel good. Astilbe and hosts, many primroses also love moist soil.
To make it easier to care for plants, you can put on the edges of the flower bed and among plants, flat stones.
