How to make a small garden bed - tips and tricks
Not every hobby gardener has a large garden available to realize all the plant dreams. But that does not have to be a disadvantage, because even on a small area you can create a pretty perennial flowerbed or even a mini vegetable garden.
Which plants are suitable for a small bed?
The smaller the bed, the more important a careful selection of plants is. You should not get too big. Compact perennials come into their own on small beds. Also pay attention to a harmonious color scheme. If there are too many different plants in all possible colors close to each other, then it seems rather chaotic than beautiful colorful.
The small bed in the front yard
Front gardens are often quite small, but should still be invitingly planted. Here the beds are often narrow and straight. But such discounts do not have to be boring. Put some colorful flowering perennials between evergreen ground cover, then you have a pretty eye-catcher. Perhaps you can also relax the shape of the bed with curved lines a little.
The small vegetable patch
On a small vegetable patch should rather grow small vegetables. Many varieties such as tomatoes, chilies or strawberries even thrive in the tub. Zucchini and pumpkin, on the other hand, need a lot of space. Strong-consuming vegetables such as cabbage should be fertilized on a small bed of special care and regularly.
A small bed on the balcony
Also on the balcony or the terrace can create a small bed for vegetables or flowers. You can, for example, set up planters or build a bed of pallets. The smaller your bed, the more important are the quality of the soil and the need-based fertilization.

Tips
If space permits, then make your beds with curved lines and / or a striking planting to visually enlarge it.
