You may also be interested flowerbed imitation of the other water facility, pools or pond? The principle of their design is similar to a trickle. Be sure, by such compositions nobody can pass indifferently.

All that will be needed for the beds stream Any stream needs somewhere to flow, that is, it must be the source. Of stones or wooden driftwood to build a small imitation of the well

Cope well with the task marigolds, ageratum, alyssum, petunias, forget-me-nots, Lobelia, celosia, verbena, Phlox subulate. Simulating the flow of water, it is best to choose the types of plants that bloom blue and white flowers.

The basis for the composition of flowerbeds-stream After place for flower beds-brook determined, it is necessary to select the plants that will simulate a Creek.





The work begins with the formation of the source stream. If the "water" will flow from the jug or pot, preferably the part of the pot, which should lie on the ground, to remove.





Jug put a hole formed on the ground. Then the plants can be planted so that it will give the impression that they grow out of the jar. It should be good to reinforce, especially if it is on a slope.

If the pot or pitcher you decided to lay in the supine position, and the vertical, then it is necessary to make drainage holes. Otherwise, they will gather water, which can rot the roots. If the weather is dry, plants in such containers must be watered.





For "stream", which will flow from the simulated well, the stones must be selected so that they are not washed away by rain. You could even seal the grout.

The formation of "channel" beds-the brook the Next stage is the formation of a riverbed. Clothes line and pegs are denoted by the Bank of the stream. Shovel gently take off the layer of sod.





If the stream is formed from the perennials so that they didn't expand outwards, the boundaries of the stream it is best to strengthen the special curb tape in green. It should protrude above the soil level of 2.5-3 cm In the formed channel add fertile soil and planted plants.





Having made the decision to install a tub vertically, it is still set at a slight angle to the ground. From the slope to the top and pour the soil and well we stamp it. At the foot of the tub is also formed hill. After that, the barrel, rammed in the ground sloping hill at the foot of the plant creeping or basket plant. Well pour the whole composition. The work has been completed.
