If your garden is flat, then it will be a necessity for you to think about building a rock garden based on an outcrop principle where the rocks form layers or terraces. The rock garden can be cut from the already existing ground following the natural contours of the soil.
Choosing the right type of garden will be the first order of business. When planning your herb garden you want to pick a location that has an abundance of sunlight and warmth. Usually the kitchen receives a great deal of sunlight and of course, the water is nearby when the herbs need it.
Adding chemical fertilizers and additives will in the long-run damage the ability of the soil to produce what the plants need to fight against insect attacks, disease, and stress. If you want to add fertilizer, you can do so approximately three times per year; when you plant them, when they begin to develop shoots above the ground, and directly after they have bloomed. If you are planting hedges that have not reached their mature height this may look too far away.
Things such as grass clippings, egg shells, leaves, coffee grinds, and vegetable and fruit peels make great composting material. If everyone all could follow these few simple suggestions, everyone would be in the better.
