Plants for your garden and where to place them

• Distribute the land.

It is very important that you identify on the ground what you will dedicate each zone. The area of plants, the sandbox, a path, a bench to relax ... Know in advance how much space you have available will help you when organizing purchases and size the necessary plants well.

• How do I choose the plants?

Ideally, start with few plants. Once you have them well controlled, you can check how they are done and how they behave. Based on the results, you can increase the variety of your garden. To select the ideal plants, look at these fundamental aspects:

• The climate of your area
• The type of land you have on your land
• The arrangement of the ground and facilities such as pipes or drains. This can affect the composition of your garden and the choice of your plants.
• The time you can dedicate to its maintenance

Choose well where you sow

Each plant requires a specific space around it. Some are better isolated and others in a group; shaded areas can benefit those who do not need sun all day, etc. For example, there are plants that extend their roots a lot and maybe should be in pots. With this, you will avoid drowning other plants or spoil the pipes that pass through the garden.

Essential maintenance in your garden

• Transplanting and pruning are necessary.

When you set out to put the plants in the ground, unravel the roots and crumble the earth. This step is very important. Then, put it in the available space and cover it again with fertile and soft soil. With this, you will be helping the roots nourish the plant and expand without problems.

As for pruning, all plants usually need to go through the scissors. It is important that you do it at the recommended time of year for each species or you will run the risk of ending them.

Keep the insects at bay.

Not all insects are harmful to plants. There are beetles and earthworms that help to fertilize and aerate the earth. You must learn to recognize those that are harmful to your garden and invite them to change the air. Once you have it, what to do with the other insects? Learn to live in harmony with those who will take care of your garden and will be your new neighbors.
