to do in the garden
http://gwbb.weebly.com/special-offers.html
* Select a level area that will receive at least 6 hours of sunshine per day.
* Select a bed layout that fits the garden area. Long, narrow beds work well along the side of a house or fence. Don't be afraid to think outside the box! Your garden bed does not have to be rectangular. Consider an L-shape garden for a corner area. A U-shape garden fits well in a square or rectangular area.
* Buy quality lumber such as rough redwood or cedar that is 2" thick. Do NOT buy pressure treated lumber. You cannot have an organic garden when your beds are treated with chemicals.
* To grow vegetables, make sure the lumber is at least 12" wide-so the beds will be at least 12" tall. Anything less will inhibit root growth.
* Build custom beds that are comfortable for you. If you are tall or suffer from back problems, build tall beds so you don't have to stoop. Save your back with 20" High Raised Garden Bed Brackets.
* Make sure the bed is narrow enough that you can tend to it without stepping inside the bed. If you can reach the bed from both sides, then a width of 4' is ideal. If you can only reach the bed from one side (for example, if the other side is against a fence), make sure it is no wider than 3'.
* Each bed will need a water supply. It's easier to build one long bed, with a single water source, than multiple beds each with their own water supply.
* To build a bed with straight and sturdy corners, use Raised Garden Bed Corner Brackets.
* If the raised bed will be longer than 12', use Raised Garden Bed Center Brackets to extend the length of the bed.
* Lay galvanized wire mesh on the bottom of the bed to prevent gophers from attacking your plants from below. Fold up the edges of the mesh and press them against the inside of the lumber boards.
* Fill the beds to the brim with top quality amended soil.

Services:
As a Garden Coach, my services focus on helping do-it-yourself gardeners beautify the landscape and improve their gardening skills. I am admittedly biased toward native, low-water or drought-tolerant species and sustainable gardening practices. The following list is meant to give you an idea of some of the many ways I can help:
• Garden analysis. What do you love or loath in your landscape? What works well & what doesn't? Why? Let's analyze & discuss together with the goal of making a list of changes that will create a more beautiful and enjoyable garden!
• Assist with special projects such as replacing lawn with drought tolerant native grass species, modifying raised beds to bring in more summer color, selecting trees that maximize solar effectiveness, or installing a solar bird bath & fountain
• Explore garden layout and design ideas including possible hardscape components, retaining wall designs, planting themes, and irrigation strategies
• Consult with realtors or home sellers about pre-sale landscape staging with a focus on low-cost, low maintenance seasonal solutions designed to maximize curb appeal
• Evaluate gardens for buyers or new owners who need help getting acquainted with their new garden spaces
• Help plan the conversion of an area (or an entire garden) to Native California plant species
• Identify plants and analyze conditions for optimal growth
• Give advice on soil and planting bed preparation
• Coach gardeners on pruning, plant division, and propagation
• Address planting and maintenance issues
• Recommend irrigation modifications, techniques, and systems
• Explain how to remove invasive ivy and what to put in its place
