L shaped Garden wrapping around house up to 4m deph. Point of L is due south. I am trying to create a modern garden from scratch as this is a new house. Problems faced are builders rubble so bad top soid. Narrow space, have 2 youngsters and chickens. Oh and a road 30cm below some of garden. Not sure of the extent of this. Soil is well drained in summer but in winter bbecause of road under will get boggy after extended period of rain.
