Garden Design and Sizes of Beds and Paths to Maximise Use of Space
Planning and orientation of beds and paths, dealing with slopes and the supposed rules. How to design a plot no dig.
It's about juggling the many main factors: point of access is important. Slope may not be. Plot size is a factor and so is avoiding trees.
I explain the choices of bed width and length. And path creation with no sides.
Filmed 20th November by Edward Dowding at Homeacres no dig garden in Somerset, UK zone 8, temperate oceanic. The idea to film this came from a social media question asked by Heather Leslie.
