Any ideas for a low maintenance garden.?

-hi got a a decent size back garden, i dont have much time on my hands, im after some much needed ideas for a low maintenance garden please, thank you in advance.Vegetable, Rock, Perennial, Annuals?



The key is planning and proper planting.

Concerning plants, do it right and add an automatic irrigation system and you won't have to do a thing but, fertilize and prune.



Vegetable gardens are typically the most difficult if you choose to go organic and lack the knowledge of beneficial insect habitats, proper plant spacing, fertilizer requirements, etc...



Rock gardens of course have very little maintenance other than pulling a few weeds annually.



A perennial garden of shrubs, flowering plants and small ornamental trees would be a good choice with bi-annual pruning and fertilizing when necessary.



An annual flower garden could be allot of work initially when prepping soil and ensuring proper planting depths and creating troughs around each plant for minimal water consumption.



I have 3 types of gardens Vegetable, perennial and Rock.



The Rock is definitely the easiest, but the vegetable tastes allot better.Hosta and lily's
