How To Establish Rock Gardening
HOW TO ESTABLISH ROCK GARDENING
A rock garden is a re-creation of a natural landscape in a small scale. It may be a rocky hill, a winding creek or a path on the mountain side.
All rock gardens should be built as natural as possible.
Don’t paint rocks or cemented paths as they are against the principle of rock garden construction.
How rock garden is constructed
The ideal soil medium for any rock garden is a fertile, mellow loam or sandy loam soil.
If you’ll use a miniature hills as the site for your rock garden, you should filled it with stones, rocks, and concrete debris to provide drainage and save the cost of buying garden soil which is quiet expensive in the city and suburban communities.
Sketch a layout plan of your rock garden to be constructed. Indicate the different parts of the landscape , including the plants to be grown.
Mistakes and unnecessary expenses in labor and materials can be avoided this way.
Make your rock garden small as it’s easier to maintain and for rather than a big one.
Plants ideal for rock garden
Small trees and shrubs found in your locality can be planted in your rock garden. Cactuses and other succulent plants, hardy vines and creepers, mosses and lichens expertly blended with the flowering herbs will create in your garden an atmosphere closest to nature.
