Protection against the wind For the vegetables To divide the land of his neighbor and to provide noise protection from cold winds, a hedge must be planted or erected a fence on the side of the prevailing wind. In Britain it is generally north-cast or south-west, the former placing the cold winds of early spring can cause considerable damage by "burning" or browning of foliage plants. So on the north and east as the land must be protected and the best method is to erect a high fence 5-6 feet of acacia interlaced with hedges or fencing. This is slightly more expensive but has greater durability.
Wicker barriers can be obtained from Farman North Walsham, Norfolk and others in the region. Light to handle, they can be built around these plants that need protection from wind, such as sweet corn or largest growing tomatoes outdoors. This is done by driving stakes into the ground and large obstacles attached to them. Used in this way a permanent fence is not necessary. Interwoven or overlap fencing panels, made to any height and generally 6 feet or 2 meters in length, are available from Larch Lap Limited Stourport-on-Severn, cases of EC Taffs Well, Glamorgan Coates and Bridgwater, while most countries of gardeners will be able to buy panels made by local craftsmen, possibly its specific needs.
a permanent fence must be protected, while strong winds can not cause a movement that would distort the panels, resulting in an en breakage. Fasten panels 3 inches by 4 inches issues, and leads into the ground and if the soil is sandy in nature, it will be desirable to consolidate the issues in. A well constructed fence will give years of valuable protection against the wind, but a fence carelessly erected will cause trouble not requiring constant scrutiny. Against the fence, south or west, currants cord can be planted or grown beans slats that can rest on the top of the fence. Tomatoes can be grown near the fence and other major plants and crops that require concentrated sunlight to mature. The value of fencing in comparison with a hedge of privet or beech, is that the land can be used to the fence and used every inch, while a hedge planting can be done more closer than about 3 feet. Fencing will also require no more attention once it has been erected, nor does it take food and moisture in the soil that is better spent by the vegetables.
A fence may be erected on three sides of the vegetable plot, which is usually the case when the parcel is located at the end of the garden, separated from the rest of the garden by a mesh screen or a rustic covered with roses and clematis. It will be advantageous to place a row of frames in a gentle slope to the south and 4-5 feet from the end of the parcel so that executives can receive the maximum amount of sunlight while the lights when n ' is not used, can be high relative to those cultures against the fence and requiring protection against late frosts. Sufficient space should be provided for the suppression of fires remains under cons hordes rear frame in the open position. And one path must be made on the foreheads of executives to enable them to be reached for watering and ventilation. A path made of bricks or pavers will be both stable and clean to use.
