Aligning the site with your own hands

During the development of virgin land there is always a number ofproblems. For example, before the beginning of development it is necessary to carry out the alignment of the site, but the biggest problem has always been the stubbing of the stumps. There are a lot of options for this laborious process. You can, of course, use the old antiquated method: digging around from all sides and using the tractor to pull them out of the ground.

But the most common way - burning outstumps - is to drill holes up to the roots and fill the resin with the substances that contribute to the decomposition of the tree: salt, saltpeter, special chemistry.

Alignment of the site should not violate the mainterrain and natural water flows. Otherwise, instead of the removed holes, new ones are formed, because the flows will always flow down to the lowest places. On the territory there are always places where moisture accumulates constantly. They are called pits and "mirrors." They need to be eliminated, removing the black earth and falling asleep cavities. Then the fertile layer comes back. Alignment of the site can be done with just two instruments: the level and level. Level - two glass vessels, connected by a hose and filled with water. According to the laws of physics, the water in the communicating vessels is always at the same level.

Most often, the average height of the terrain is chosen, andthen some plots are raised, while others are plucked. To determine the required level, pegs are jammed into the ground at different points in the plot. After comparing the height of each peg, it becomes clear what areas need to be ripped off and which ones to lift.

Some garden plots are often located onslopes of the hills. The house on the slope is a very interesting thing, you can differently beat its placement, in the design plan. But here the land will not be fully utilized: the rain is constantly washing away the fertile layer of the earth and any fertilizers, making it unfit for farming, because the plants can not hold onto it. In addition, the processing of such a site can cause a lot of inconvenience, and if you install a retaining wall at the bottom of the site, you can not do without terraces. In this case, it is simply necessary to carry out the alignment of the suburban area on the hillside. Depends on the steepness of the slope, the number of steps of the terrace and their height is determined. The wide width of the terrace is 70-150 centimeters, and with this size it is possible to create a garden.

Only after the formation of the horizontals of the terraceYou can do steps. They should be slightly under the slope, so that water drains from them, and the soil does not fall off. Steps should not be too high, because then they will turn into retaining walls, and all efforts will go to dust if they are not further strengthened. Alignment of the site involves the construction of exactly such stepped terraces, and the retaining walls can also wait, if the slope is not very steep.

Guided by simple rules, which describe the alignment of land, any summer resident will be able to create a suitable for agriculture land, seemingly hopeless slope.
