POND FOR A SMALL SITE - CONSTRUCTION, FORM AND PLANTS FOR IT
© Author: ALEXANDER KABANOV, Candidate of Biological Sciences
A pond is a decoration of almost any garden, and even in a small garden it can look organically
The size of the pond and its configuration depend only on your capabilities and wishes. The reservoir can fit into any type of plot.
For gardens created in the regular style, you need the same and a pond, which means that it must necessarily be geometric shape. An excellent background for it will be a lawn or paving.
More picturesque water reservoirs of natural form with cut edges, their coast is much easier decorate with various plants.
Dug-in drums will allow to create perfectly round, though small in size reservoirs. Since their depth is sufficient, it is quite possible to grow water lilies in them.
Ready-made plastic molds they are often found, they are easy to install and can also be easily moved to different parts of your garden.
Create a real pond is a very complicated matter, it is the highest aerobatics of landscape art.

INSULATION
Polymer film - it is used very often; but about the clay is completely forgotten - but in vain!
Clay Castle was used earlier for waterproofing ponds in homestead parks. Despite the seeming simplicity and fragility of this material, the life of such ponds was long enough.
Concrete bed for a pond to do is not so simple, it's a painstaking enough and expensive business. In addition, if poor quality material is used, it is possible to form cracks, which will have to be eliminated on a regular basis.
Special rubber - another material that is often used to isolate water bodies. It is quite durable, and, even if its integrity is violated - it does not matter, it will not be necessary to change everything, it can be easily glued.
The only task in this case will be the decoration of the edge of the flexible lining. Ideally, on top of special rubber, you can lay stones or sprinkle a layer of gravel - the easiest way.
IMITATION
If you do not have the opportunity or desire to have a real pond, then it is easy to simulate, creating a dry stream or a dry pond in which the role of water will be carried out by gravel; Well, the banks of your pond will be designated by larger stones and planted around the plants.
Especially impressive are such imitations on wet plots.
WATER ALL SEASON - SELECTING PLANTS FOR A SMALL POND ON A LITTLE SITE
ВЕСНА. The garden, hardly waking up after a long winter, is not quite tidy - and empty. A sad sight - but there are already the first flowering plants.
Clean spring. It may well grow on moist soils. Its bright yellow flowers are an excellent ornament of the spring garden. The plant is very low, because in height it does not exceed 10-15 cm. Soon after flowering, the leaves of the cleaner will dry up - do not be alarmed, it's just that he took a long vacation; the plant will appear only in the spring of next year. The only significant drawback is too much self-seeding. Chistyak often weeds - but it turns out large and pretty cute hens; true, they appear everywhere.
A mini-pond of a heavy street vase on his leg: it's difficult to look after him, but how spectacular it looks!
Kaluzhnitsa marshy is somewhat like a bastard.
Its lush, bright yellow flowers bloom in May the banks of the reservoirs. Plants reach a height of 30 - 60 cm. The leaves of the calf are large, heart-shaped. By the way, this plant is absolutely not aggressive.
The bathing chamber reigns from May to June. Its name coincides with its ecology, it is a plant of wet floodplain meadows, flooded during the spring flood of rivers. Bright flowers seem to really bathe in the water. Most often in the gardens you can meet the European - a plant about 70 cm tall with pale yellow flowers, abundantly blooming in May-June.
Highlander snake will make a good company bathing suit. This is an ordinary plant for the central part of Russia. In height, the species reaches from 30 to 100 cm. The highlander is ornamental due to its albeit not very large, but dense and noticeable from afar pale pink spicate inflorescences that adorn the plant in late May - early June.
SUMMER. The garden is filled with greenery and blooms.
Iris is dissolved at the beginning of summer. The most problem-free for the coastal garden is the yellow iris - a fairly large plant, up to 90-150 cm. The flowers are golden yellow, very rarely white. Blossoms this species in June-July.
JjC Verbainik dotted is completely invisible at the beginning of summer, but in late June - early July in the axils of its leaves appear bright yellow flowers collected in whorls. The flowers cover almost all of the rather long shoots - up to an altitude of 70 cm - so that from such a weight it arches bent arcs. It turns out a real yellow cascade. But keep in mind: the vertebra grows rapidly, and its thickets are very dense, and in them there is little that can be preserved from neighboring plants.
Derbennik ivolistny will decorate the coastal garden in July. This tall plant, up to 80 - 150 cm, with dark green narrow, somewhat similar in shape to the leaves. The flowers are numerous, small, pink and red, collected in a spicate inflorescence.
Hythel Hyacinths very enliven the coastal area. Against the background of curved, xiphoid leaves, fragrant, funnel-shaped flowers of various colors appear in June.
Buzulniki especially good: it is on wet soils that their leaves look spectacular (even with a little overdrying, the leaves of the buzulniks instantly wither, becoming like rags). And believe me, the look of the plant becomes completely unpresentable.
FOR THE NOTICE
Ornamental plants (for example, cereals and sedges) - a special place in the design of the site near the reservoir belongs to them. Thanks to them, the garden is beautiful in late autumn. After all, cereals still have inflorescences, and the evergreen species of sedges are good against the background of yellowing autumn foliage.
Miscanthus saharotsvetkovy and glycery large grow on wet soil. These plants are familiar to many. But sparta comb is less known. It is elegant at the expense of narrow arcuate curved leaves, somewhat resembling streams of a fountain. Variegata is more effective with bright yellow stripes along the edge of the sheet, up to 150 in height.
In July-August, the stellar hour of tall plants
Osoks are one of the obligatory plants for the design of reservoirs. Not all species can be successfully grown in the middle of Russia. Pretty cute (and most importantly - stable) about. pendulous - decorative evergreen plant. Her leaves are flat, with a deep blue-green color. The height of the bush may exceed 70 cm. Inflorescences in it are drooping, ornamental; by the way, they can be used for dry bouquets.

A small pond was built in the garden last year. I wanted to. to land on the shore something unpretentious, but flowering.
#
- Marsh marigold (Caltha palustris) is perfect. It can often be seen in gardens where there is a pond, but it grows well even without a pond, it just needs to be watered more often. Blooms early, along with primroses. And she definitely needs enough sun (light penumbra will do), otherwise even the most abundant lush flowering will quickly come to naught.
It grows and develops better on rich fertile soil.
A lush bush grows over time thanks to creeping shoots. Every four years, the plant is rejuvenated - divided and seated. Dig it up in early spring or late summer (no later than mid-September). The rhizome is not dried. Water and lightly shade on the south side until the delenks are rooted properly. It is important that marigold has a high winter hardiness. Even young plants that have had time to take root well before the autumn cold do not require shelter for the winter.
