Instruction

1. Draw a site plan on graph paper or in one of the programs is addressed to architects, for example, AutoCAD. Label the house and outbuildings. Depending on your needs, you will need a barn, summer kitchen and bath. To save space, all three modules can form a single structure, which is place at some distance from the house to the smell of the food or heated baths did not go straight to the room.
   Also provide toilet and a well. Most often they are on the inside lane. First – as close to the neighbor's house of similar sense, which is reasonable for small areas. Second - and at very often in combination.
2. Plan a vegetable garden. It is desirable that it was adjacent to the summer kitchen – so it will be convenient to dispose of the crop. The size of the area which would be taken under the beds depends on the size of your family, and are making preparations for the winter. Usually, summer for on-site consumption enough vegetables with 1-2 acres. But if you do "plantation" of strawberries or potatoes – place for them should also be considered.

4. Break the flower garden. Next to the buildings it is better to plant perennials. Alternatively, under Windows complete Alpine slide or the ridges are a variety of beds, differing in shape and relief. Among all areas, route paths.
