THE BASICS
With these basic principles in hand, you have all
the prime information you need to follow the most
signifi cant principle: Suit the plant to the site.
“Too often, I have watched as people try to plant successfully using tools
that were meant for everything from digging ditches to slicing pie. It
invariably ends in tears of frustration, and sometimes pain, as using the
wrong tool can lead to personal injury. It also damages plants, prevent-
ing them from getting off to a good start.”
– Ethne Clarke
Most garden-planting projects can be achieved
successfully using the tools described here; large
scale landscaping projects, however, are best left to
a professional who has the heavy equipment needed
for excavation, contouring and so on.
