Thus, wherever you want to grow plants, you study the conditions and select plants only on the basis of the optimal conditions for a given plant.
Reduce flower beds and lawn
These spaces require regular processing, but you can reduce these costs. Use garden paths and platforms made of gravel and similar material. Tiles or paving stones do not require treatment and are an excellent alternative to weeds.
Minimize activity
Aim to minimize your time spent on the garden. Just so, relax a little and you will not see the difference. For example, do not water every weed, just mow regularly, so you will create an attractive appearance and be able to drown out the weeds.
Additionally, use mulching from materials available to you. Take the fallen leaves, bark and the like. Put under the bushes and other plants to remove weeds.
Do not throw around on many varieties. In fact, even a field of dandelions looks more than pretty, but many just pop out dandelions. Although it is much easier and often better to just leave dandelions in a separate field and get a normal look of the lawn.
Rational choice
For each period of the year, you can choose plants that are easy and expedient to grow. For example, in the fall, take rhubarb, which looks great and pleases with succulent stems.
In the summer, plant zucchini and pumpkins in the light. They practically do not require watering and give excellent shoots. Do not waste time on tomatoes that require cultivated soil and greenhouse, plant potatoes.
In addition, take a couple of shrubs and garden plants that look great and unpretentious. Apples and red currants are the best choice.
Timeliness
The most important quality for those who do not want to work hard in the country. An elementary example - noticed a weed, immediately fulfilled. Did not notice or did not weed - in a couple of weeks you will need to sit for days with a hoe.
Using additional resources
If you work in the garden is an uninteresting routine, then for those who give is not observed, many such cases are exotic. This should be used, of course, within reasonable limits, but should be used.
When guests come to you, you can hand out the work plan skillfully and cheerfully. For example, in order to whet your appetite for kebabs. Give the children some easy things like picking berries, let the men transplant some plant or something to dig.
In fact, there is no question of some kind of exploitation, many people are really interested in doing some work in the garden and talking to plants. If you have some talent as an organizer, you can easily make a weekend getaway with friends useful for your garden.

Focus only on affordable. By the way, and from this you can get a lot of really worthwhile.
Potatoes and pumpkins grow well and may well become a cause for pride. Perennial shrubs do not require significant care, but look great. Apple tree grows well in different areas and pleases with flowers in spring and fruits in autumn.
Each of these plants is easy to grow. In fact, there is a huge amount of such options and it is no less interesting to make such projects than to grow some kind of exotic.
Without blanks

For many, the rejection of blanks seems exciting, but this way you can spend a lot less time and get more pleasure from the holiday cottage.
