Preparing the Garden Site Module 10 - Garden EcologyLesson 5: Preparing the Garden Site
Why is it important to prepare the site? More than likely the site you will be transforming will need some attention to get it ready for the makeover you are envisioning.If you are putting in a path, that will have to be mapped out, weeds will need to be removed from a plot of earth, perhaps the soil will need to be amended. 3. As you begin preparing the site you will discover issues you didn’t think of, and they have to be addressed before you can continue. For example, there might be a leaky irrigation line, which has to be fixed before you plant. 4. Preparation avoids having to do things over or change things afterwards .
