Make some small holes in the bottom to ensure that plenty of irrigation water does not accumulate in the roots and then rot the plant. Fill all the space with a fat layer of soil.

With the help of the rake to make small furrows on the ground, to introduce the seeds of what you have chosen. Packages usually come in the amount of grain to put on and what is the best time to cultivate. We must respect the timetable for planting each plant. Then lightly cover the seeds, and water.

We need to weigh the various areas in which we have valued the light you have and taking into account the wind factor. Playing with hedges, trees and clumps of plants may be interlocked to create different areas and communicated with each other within the same garden.

A maximum time is landscaping around the house should have straight lines and angular, as we move away from it you can increase the most irregular curves and circles.
