How to create a rock garden |
|
|
| A natural rock garden. |
| No need for digging or turning the soil but clean the area from weeds. |
| You will need:- a truckload of old manure. If there are no farms nearby get mushroom manure from the mushroom cultivators or from the nursery. |
| A few truckloads of boulders - or imitation boulders from the nursery. |
| At least enough coarse sand to cover the manure, more is better than too little. |
| Spread the manure and add extra coarse sand for drainage, dump the boulders on it. Cover any visible manure with sand. |
| Bring in the plants! |
