Mobile landscape: green pets in containers

Those who often wants to change shape of the parcel will like the idea of container crop production. It is possible to grow up in such a way any plants, from one-year "klumbovy", to bushes and fruit. That to each plant it was comfortable, it is necessary to pick up correctly the soil, material, the size and depth of container.

The earth in tanks loses moisture quicker therefore it is especially important to pay attention to ability of the soil to hold it. If preferences of plant allow, the easy peat or compost earth best of all will approach. Besides, even at the big sizes it is possible to move containers with such earth. But it is much more important. That the acidity and fertility of the soil was suitable.

As container you should not use iron tanks, they can emit toxic substances. For the same reason it is not necessary to use again plastic tanks even if before in them there was foodstuff. The plastic pots and tubs which are specially intended for landing of plants are absolutely harmless. Producers can offer huge variety of forms, colors and textures. Plus plastic containers also in their low cost, in comparison with wooden, ceramic and stone. 

But if to eye natural materials are more nice, then it is necessary to consider that the tree has to have water-repellent covering for increase in life cycle, and the inexpensive ceramics of mass production has no frost resistance. But more expensive containers can become ideal "house" for plant, especially, if surface of neglazurovan, the ceramics "breathes" at the expense of honeycomb, so and to roots more air will arrive. Stone containers are most durable and strong, over time their shape gains still big appeal. 

Indispensable condition when choosing the most suitable container — availability of drainage holes, surplus of moisture it is harmful almost to all plants, and for many it is pernicious.

Depth and the size of container should not too big, "for growth", be better to replace plant if necessary. And if partially to delete old root to which it became close then capacity will serve still long time. If the procedure on reduction of root lump is carried out in suitable time, wounds are disinfected (for example, by means of pounded coal) and dried, the plant is not ill and is quickly restored.

Skillfully picked up container will become one more interesting element of decor, and it is possible to change the image of the site in only a few minutes.
