Part I
Your Patch of Dirt
In this part...
Gardening is about improving your surroundings and making a beautiful and comfortable environment in which to relax and play. Garden-making is not only a practical and down-to-earth pursuit, itâs also a way of expressing yourself and being creative.
In Part I, we show you how to discover your gardenâs potential by working out how much sun and shade it gets and the direction it faces; we give you an understanding of soil and drainage; and, importantly, we finish with advice on how to deal with some of the climate extremes that nature throws at us from time to time.

Whether youâve got an established garden or just a patch of bare earth waiting to take shape, you need to âreadâ your garden and assess what youâve got before you can begin to plan and plant. Take the time to get acquainted with your particular piece of ground. Discover your gardenâs sunniest and shadiest parts. Feel the soil and look at where the water naturally goes. All these factors affect the success and wellbeing of the plants you grow and the garden you make.
In this chapter, we show you how to start building your gardenâs dossier â its personal profile, if you like. You need to be observant, so have your mental notebook ready (oh, and a compass may help, too!).
Which Way is North?
The direction your garden faces is known as its aspect. Your gardenâs aspect is important because it can determine whether youâve got a sunny garden or a shady one. To find what aspect you have, just figure out which direction is north (easier said than done on a dull day!).
Knowing which way is north is absolutely crucial if you want to grow plants â not so you can find your way to the nursery without getting lost but because northâs the direction from which the sun shines, and plants need sun to grow. To a certain extent, the kind of home you have defines your scope for gardening. If your house is free-standing, you have more options: some parts of the garden are certain to be sunnier than others, depending on which side of the house they are. However, terrace houses, villas and units often only have a back garden or a balcony, with a single aspect. If this sounds like you, we have loads of creative solutions! Here we describe the four main aspects (as well as the aspect you have when itâs half and half):

The canny gardener will check out the aspect before buying a new property. If you add sunny north facing aspect to your selection criteria, you can be sure of having a sunny garden where you can grow all your favourite plants, herbs and vegies without too much trouble.
To grow shade-loving plants in a garden with a sunny aspect, youâll need to create some shade (for example, with a pergola) or find a more sheltered spot to the east or south. If there are trees or other tall structures to the north, your garden will get filtered sunlight or shadows as the sun moves across the sky.
