Hi,
I am new to this site and I was going to ask the same question but I see you didn't have any replies.

Have you planted your garden now? Any tips you can give me?

The first thing to do is to decide whether you will need to irrigate any of the plants with a drip / spray system and put that in first. Also try to select the plants that have the same water requirements or some will have too much and some not enough. I made this mistake and it is a right bind putting the system in after planting and also losing plants.

Consider a dry garden with rocks, stones dry river bed etc such as a zen garden
