Picking a good spot for an outdoor bed

nodnarb1978 · 02-28-09, 11:09

I am looking for a nice spot. Any suggestions? I have some nice spots in my woods, just don't really know what to look for. On the side of hill, near a creek, in the shade of a pine tree. Where have you had good success?

IMO in part shade, try get an area that only gets morning sun but not afternoon sun that way it gets light while morning due is about

What specie are you going to let run?

Dappled sunlight that walks its way across the bed, or morning sun (as stated above) is nice. Of course keep it watered well.

Also, you'll want to be mindful of critters that might want to dig around in your bed, etc.

Afternoon sun or all day sun is of course a no-no. I prefer all day shade, and if you are not watering, you'll want to make sure it's able to receive nature's rain adequately enough based on what is shading your bed.
