Step 2Design
Site
Choose the site to reflect what you want to grow.- NDGs don't do well in full shade unless you desire to grow only toadstools and the like!
The best being an open, sunny spot on any surface - preferably level
Design
Your garden can be any shape and size provided its no smaller than 1.5mx 1.5m x 1m, below this it looses moisture to fast.
The shape is largely dictated by your ability to reach the center of any part of the bed ,with perhaps a bit of overlap, with out having to stand on the bed its self.
Its a good idea to stand balanced and comfortable at the side of your proposed bed and sweep your arms to indicate the centers of the bed.
"Material"
In order for a NDG to work properly ( particularly when you start using your imaginations a bit more) the following 2 ingredients must be present;
> ingredients that contain Nitrogen and those that containing Carbon.(generally its one or the other)
There must be an equal amount of both, for the system to work well..
> Water
