The topic of the arrangement of beds in the garden will probably never lose its relevance.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh tried to answer all the questions of interest.

Of course, everyone's plots are different, and if your neighbor got a flat area, then it is possible that you will end up with a plot with slopes and other "defects".

In this case, the beds should be located exclusively across the slope (never along it).

This needs to be done in order to retain water, which has the ability to wash away nutrients from the beds.

The next rule applies to absolutely any areas – both flat and those with various nuances.

Place the beds from north to south or from east to west.

In addition, since the plantings need sun, make the beds in a lighted place that will be in the shade for a minimum amount of time during the day.
