That definitely wasn't meant badly, your garden is like an empty room. Be proud and it really shows that smaller can also work. What do you put on the rounded corner? You surely have a must-have idea for that.

Yes, that's possible. I hadn't considered it before either, but I came across it through the books by Reinhard Witt. He works a lot with poor dry sites, meaning practically pure gravel/crushed stone (plus just a tiny bit of compost). Water drains away there too, similar to when you pave right up to the house. Of course, you still have to protect the facade with a dimpled membrane and definitely avoid waterlogging. For me, it's also a real gain. We have a frost screen instead of a frost skirt, with the insulation protruding 55-60cm beyond the base slab. If I lay a typical gravel strip there, with the curb and concrete underneath, I quickly reach about a meter of eaves strip... I'd rather use that better. An open construction site is still the north side. Shade plants normally prefer it a bit more moist.

No… I never had anything to do with gardens.. I was a city kid with little greenery around me. But the longing for a house and garden was great. When we could finally afford our first house, I was really eager about the garden. For the housewarming, I received a box with cuttings and a grapevine.. that was the start. Later I kept going to the hardware store to buy more little plants. Nature is amazing.. you buy tiny plants and already 2..3 years later everything is big and empty spaces are covered.. What makes it look bigger: no hedges all around, but allowing the view into the distance.. that can also be the view into the neighbor's garden… we never “shielded” ourselves there.

That is possible. I did it on the south side as well. However, partly only cacti and otherwise we have loose sandy soil where the water is immediately absorbed. I wouldn’t do it on the west and north sides, though, since the strip is a splash guard and otherwise the facade gets dirty quickly.

Well, you don’t always have to project your own views onto others. Our daughter is 11, so there’s no room for a sandbox or a fortress or any other playground equipment anymore. So part of that statement is just pulled out of thin air.

We’re still at the beginning when it comes to the garden. Only everything we didn’t want/couldn’t do ourselves has been done. The rest will come little by little.

That’s the shady corner, where either a small lounge area or a small coffee corner will be created (I love coffee). The corner will still be clad with slats and flower boxes will be hung on it.

Definitely something where you can just chill in the shade and have a drink without your head steaming :D

Our plot otherwise gets almost everywhere sunshine :)

Well, but not all people are the same.



Our garden landscapers only left the yard on Saturday afternoon. It is basically only now that everything has been completed that we didn’t want/couldn’t do ourselves.

The rest will come little by little now.
