In this section, we take a look at the theory of gardening, and how by developing a basic awareness of its fundamental concepts you can increase your chances of planting success and extend your enjoyment of your garden.
Firstly, we look at the role of the weather and how it affects your planting. Understanding the climate in your garden can help you to select plants that will thrive, rather than struggle, in the given conditions. We also explore a number of ways to protect your planting from the cold, snow and wind.
The soil is one of the most significant factors for healthy plant growth and determining the characteristics and structure of your own garden soil can be invaluable when it comes to selecting the right plants. We help you to identify your soil type and pH, and offer some handy tips on improving problem soils.
