Hi all,
I want to do some plantings directly into the gravel in my garden/yard. I think this will both soften and help to cool the areas. Ive already planted lomandra in a narrow walkway of the yard directly into gravel, many thanks to this forum for suggestions! This area was a defined strip though which made placement obvious - with the next area's plantings, I'm just not sure where to put anything!!! I have a native garden and am thinking of kangaroo paw (large ones), grasses or a combination of both. I have native grasses dotted all through the garden beds. Im not interested in developing any more garden beds preferring to plant straight into the gravel.
So ... I've attached some pics of the garden from different directions - hopefully these show the expanses of gravel.I do need to preserve a driveway which leads from double gates in fence and forms an arc to small shed. There is also area around the Taylex which I would like to soften as well. I hope from the pics you will get a sense of the garden and areas. There is a walkway leading from the front yard along the side which I can have some plantings as well to link in.
Do I just buy a shedload of grasses/kangaroo paw and plant them in the gravel - here there and everywhere or do I have a more systematic planting? Happy for anyone's thoughts.
Cheers
