Visit gardens and nurseries
When we have a plot of land and we have no idea where to start, it is always a good idea to visit the gardens in the area - if possible - and the nurseries. Why? Because so we can mentally design our own garden, including those plants that we like the most.
Make a draft
Next, it will be time to make a draft, either on paper or, even better, using some garden design program. In the, We have to include everything that we want to put taking into account the total area we have and the size of the plants. once they have reached adulthood.
Prepare the ground
Now what you have to do is prepare the ground to start creating the garden. For this, it is highly recommended to go through with a walking tractor (if it is large) or motor hoe (if it is medium or small) so that any stones that may exist are exposed. Thus, we can easily remove them, and leave the ground well leveled with a rake.
In the event that it has been abandoned for a long time, it is highly advisable to put a layer of at least 4cm of manure, like chicken, and mix it with the earth.
Plant the plants
Now that the soil is prepared, it is time to put the plants in their final place. It is very important that we plant them in those areas where they will be able to grow well; that is, if for example it is a sun plant, we have to place it in a place where it will be exposed to the sun. In case of doubt we must consult it, either in the nursery, books or on the Internet.
Install the irrigation system
In order for the plants to grow without problems, it is necessary to install a irrigation system. There are several types on the market: drip, exudate, hose, ... Depending on the extension of the land and the need for water that the plants have, we will have to install one or the other, or install several in the garden. Thus, for example, in the garden we can put drip irrigation, which will allow us to save water, but to irrigate the area of the rose bushes we can put a hose.
Put some garden furniture
If we intend to spend a lot of time outdoors, it is convenient to put some furniture that combine well with the predominant colors of the garden and are also resistant. Under the porch those made of raffia look very good, since it gives them a rustic and very elegant appearance; but for example to put in the pool we must choose another type of material that resists humidity, such as plastic or stainless steel.
All in all, we can enjoy the garden to the fullest.
