When you know what plants you want, and which of them will be happy growing together, it’s tempting to rush off to the garden centre, go mad with the plastic, then come back and chuck them all in. Not a good idea, is it?
You’ve done it before and half of them have died. So before you take the plunge, make sure that your
soil
is well cultivated and enriched. This module will tell you how to get your garden ready for plants, and it will also explain what sort of
plants
you should look for in the nursery or garden centre; what makes a good one, and which ones you should avoid.
