Winter is approaching and most of the plants are still sleeping in the back of the store. Here is a non-exhaustive list to help you make your choice! 1. CHOOSE THE SPECIES THAT SUIT YOUR CLIMATE AND SOIL CONDITIONS. Decide which species are suitable for your climate and soil conditions. If you live in Canada and your soil is cold and dry, that is, if you have very cold (-10 ° C) days with frost, then there is a wide variety of species with heat resistant foliage that are well adapted to the Canadian climate. On the other hand, if you live in California and your soil is moist, made acidic by the rains, you need species adapted to the climate and the nature of the soil. 2. OBTAIN THE APPROPRIATE PLANTS FOR THE SIZE OF YOUR GARDEN. You can decide if you want individual seedlings or an even distribution. If your space is tiny, you can opt for spread-ribbed plants, large family trees, and shrubs. To focus on the shady character of a certain location, you can opt for shrubs and vines. 3. MAKE SURE YOUR SOIL IS WELL DRAINED Clean the bottom of your garden with a rake, then check to see if the area is well drained. Soils, except trees and shrubs, are preferable to plants for most ruminants. Drain your garden by making a small ditch all around the area you have marked off. 4. ARRANGE YOUR GARDEN WITH MULCH, STONES OR GRAVEL ACCORDING TO YOUR TASTES. Vous pouvez utiliser du paillis, des pierres et du gravier selon les goûts. Pensez à le faire avant de planter vos plants. Ajoutez tout d’abord du paillis tout autour, et à certains endroits pour empêcher le passage de l’eau. 5. PRÉPAREZ VOTRE ESPACE POUR RECEVOIR VOS PLANTES ET JARDINEZ-VOUS ! Avant que vous n’installiez vos propres plantes, assurez-vous d’avoir nettoyé votre jardin et installé un lit de paillis, pierres ou gravier. Ensuite, vous pouvez commencer à intervenir en plantant votre premier arbre ! Choosing the right plants for your garden can be a difficult decision. This article provides you with some helpful tips to make that choice easier by considering what climate and soil type is best for you, as well as how to prepare your space before you plant anything. You will also learn about different types of plants that may be suitable for certain climates or needs, such as those looking to create an oasis of shade in their garden.
