It may be hard to believe, but the simplest board will help you create perfect order on your property.

If you are thinking about improving your garden beds, don’t worry – this process won’t take much effort.

For this purpose, you should stock up on a board, the width of which is equal to the size of the future bed.

Place the "working tool" with the wide part on the ground, and then stand it on its edge. Without lifting the board from the ground, continue the movements until the bed ends.

The mark left by the edge of the board should be used as a place for sowing.

These holes are suitable for sowing radishes, onions, carrots or planting seedlings.

Important: the width of the board will vary for different crops. So, if you are going to fill the beds with garlic, find a piece of wood 15 cm wide.

A value of 10 cm is suitable for radishes, and 20 cm for carrots. From 20 to 30 cm is a suitable board width for forming beds for onions, and 25 cm for cucumbers. Finally, for peppers, a board 20 cm wide should be applied to the ground three times to achieve the desired value of 60 cm.
