GARDENING www.homemoverspack.com > Define your boundaries The type of fence, screen or hedge you choose for your garden provides more than a division of space. Boundaries create the framework that defines a garden, both externally and as dividers within the plot. A fence, hedge or screen is the backdrop against which the whole garden is viewed. Privacy and security is the main role of the garden’s boundary, which needs to keep out unwanted eyes and visitors while keeping children or pets in. First of all, choose between a fence, a hedge, or a combination of the two. Walls tend to be out of the reckoning unless your budget is vast or you have bricklaying skills. Fences are unbeatable for immediate effect. Many designs of wooden fence panel are available as well as metal panels and mesh screens. Browse catalogues for styles and prices, then check out different brands. Keep in mind the style of the garden in relation to your house and tailor the look to blend in, or go for a contrast by using rustic materials in urban surroundings or vice versa. Location, location, location Pick a spot that receives plenty of light all day long and avoid planting by trees and shrubs that may shade and compete with your garden for water and nutrients. If you don’t have much space, or your soil’s not conducive to growing what you would like, create a garden on your patio by clustering different pots together. It is best to plant annuals if you need to take the pots inside in the winter. You can empty out the soil and start again next spring. A good idea is to put the taller plants at the back of your garden and plant them on the north side, so they won’t shade the smaller ones. If you’re tackling a larger vegetable garden, don’t forget to plan for space to walk between the rows. The big cover-up Unless your chosen material is decorative enough to make a feature in its own right, chances are you’ll want to cover fences with plants. Go for the big cover-up by using trellis all over, or with a framework of galvanised wires run through vine eyes. If there’s a long run of fence, add an occasional panel of trellis at right angles to break up the monotony and add colour. Screens of bamboo, willow, reed and heather are versatile but less durable, lasting four to seven years. These screens also make great garden wallpaper’ to transform an unsightly fence or wall - perfect if the boundary belongs to your neighbour and is outside your control. Hedges make superb living screens and also help to absorb noise and pollution. The drawbacks are that a hedge takes up more space than a fence and requires trimming from one to three times a year. You can create instant privacy with a short-lived screen using one of the materials described above and plant a hedge at the same time. The shelter helps the hedge establish more quickly. Screens and hedges can be used in a huge variety of ways to enhance your garden’s overall design. Shelter and seclusion are desirable around the patio and other seating areas, and it’s a good idea to conceal features such as sheds, compost bins and washing lines. Timing is everything The best time to plant your garden is in the spring and autumn. Wait until late spring when the soil is no longer too wet from snow or spring rains and is kept warm by higher temperatures. Good soil will be loose, level, fertile, and well-drained - avoid clay and very sandy soil. You can begin by planting seeds that can take cooler soil and as the temperature hots up, introduce more seeds and plants. 54
