Use the daily rhythms to help you. Water the soil rather than the plants, so that leaves won't get scorched on hot days.

Use the calendar, too, and concentrate your watering efforts at times when the moon's influence is strongest.

Earth is still the medium in which most plants grow. It holds the minerals and micronutrients that plants need to survive, and is home to the microorganisms that fix necessary nitrogen out of the air. Together clay and humus act like a sponge to absorb water and nutrients.

The sorts of paths that you use for wandering slowly around the garden don't need the same sort of base as serious paths by any means.

Walls are solid and permanent. They cost a lot more than fences and take skill to build - anything over about lm (3ft) high is really a job for a professional. It shouldn't be higher than that if it's next to a public road, and, if you want one more than 2m (6ft) high, you may need planning consent.

If your plan is to work, the information needs to be accurate in the first place, so measure up very carefully. Landscapers normally use a 30m (100ft) tape that recoils into its own round carrying case, but there's no need to buy one specially. You can make do with an ordinary retractable handyman's tape measure.

If you inherit an old hedge that is in bad condition, don't despair - with a bit of care and attention, you can restore it to its original glory. Don't be too hasty to write it off: restoration may take some time, but it will be less time than growing a new hedge from scratch.

You will be surprised at what an enormous difference such a detail can make. Or it might be the entrance from the house into the garden, where a pergola - hung with instant colorful hanging baskets while the climbing plants are starting to scramble upwards - will divert the eye from the wilderness that lies beyond and create an enclosed area that can serve as an outside dining room.

By rooting semi-ripe cuttings in early autumn in a frame and then remove the tree completely, replacing it with a new young plant. This time keep it under control by clipping it into shape every spring before the new growth begins. The aim with pruning is to form a strong framework of branches, thereby encouraging new shoots to grow from the base of the plant. The shoots are trained as near horizontally as post.

Liming materials can be compared by considering their ability to neutralize soil acidity, fineness, and cost to deliver and spread. The neutralizing value (NV) of a lime indicates its potency. It is determined in the laboratory by comparing its ability to neutralize soil acidity with that of the standard, pure calcium oxide. A neutralizing value of 50 signifies that 100 kg of that material has the same effect on soil acidity as 50 kg of calcium oxide.

Lack of privacy is a common problem in many back gardens. Many people find that the use and enjoyment of their garden are severely curtailed if other properties overlook their private space. In addition, a lack of privacy often affects the appearance of the garden, as the views of other properties leak in.

The soil is not all that brilliant at the foot of a wall, thanks to the builders' rubble and footings down there, but when it's also hot and sunny, then conditions are particularly tough for plants.

The rhizosphere is a zone in the soil oith no definite boundary which is influenced by roots. Living roots change the atmosphere around them by using up oxygen and producing carbon dioxide (see respiration). Roots exude a variety of organic compounds which hold water and form a coating that bridges the gap between root and nearby soil particles. Micro-organisms occur in greatly increased numbers and are more active when in proximity to roots.

These plants are not difficult to grow, nor is there any great skill in the arrangement, just a little knowledge built up by observation. I could fill the book with these sorts of combinations, but I'm not going to - it is far more fun finding out for yourself.
