We are making an alpine slide.
When creating an alpine slide with your own hands, you need to take into account many aspects. For many 1000 years, nature has created an unusual terrestrial relief, and an amateur gardener should be able to reproduce it in a short period of time, and even without wind, rain, or temperature changes.
Immediately curb your own imagination, and do not grab onto very difficult projects in the form of extraordinary natural formations, let's try to solve the problem of how to build an alpine slide little by little.
The primary, and one of the most key steps in the formation is the selection of a site. The main aspects for the selection will be: light – this area should be illuminated by the sun for the longest time during the day, an overview – like all flower beds, an alpine slide should have a good view, and space – you should not lose sight of the fact that this is a very massive structure. Then we will outline the outline of the sole (base) of the slide and remove the covering useful layer of soil. We will need it in the future, only one condition – no weeds, otherwise soon useless plants will appear on the hill, far from its color. Now we have a shallow excavation (barely more than 30 cm).
At the moment, it is still necessary to think about drainage, not forgetting that mountain plants do not tolerate stagnation of water. For the lower cover of the drainage, a small gravel or a broken brick will do, then a layer of sand about 5 cm, and on top of all this is covered with soil. Immediately, if you have chosen a place for a slide on a slope and the soil there is not very knocked down, in this case drainage may not be necessary.
The main compilation. This is the most creative moment, but it's also very difficult. It is necessary to drag and arrange the stones, to build the base of the structure. It is necessary to choose the most solid stone, specimens with a broken texture look the most attractive, it will be the main one in the lower tier. Take care of the stability of the stone, add gravel and soil, if necessary. Usually, several tiers are erected, any of which is filled with fertile soil and tamped down so that air pockets do not appear. When laying, avoid symmetry (this is not natural), it is possible to combine some stones more compactly, among others, to save a gap for planting plants.
A separate point is the choice of a stone, the main rule is to spare no money for a good stone. It is not advisable to collect stones in the fields, first, they are unlikely to reproduce the mountain landscape, and secondly, it will be difficult to achieve harmony, because the stones will be of different origins, colors, and textures. The final and most exciting episode for a gardener is considered to be the moment of planting flowers. It is not forbidden to follow your own imagination and color preferences.
