How To Make A Rain Garden

A natural way to use rain water run off from your roof, is to simply direct it to a rain garden. Rain gardens are usually created in a natural or purposely made low spot in your yard. If you dont’ have a natural depression where the rain water collects on its own, you can create one by digging it out instead.

Make sure the depression you create will actually get rain water run off to it naturally when it’s completed. You can dig a small trench from a rain gutter on your home for instance, which will allow the water run off to be directed to the location you want it.

Then create your garden. Put in plants and flowers which like good, deep watering. Then each time it rains, the water will collect in this garden naturally, and take a bit of time to soak into the ground. This will allow the garden to receive a very deep watering naturally, and your plants will thrive.

By Maggie Ross McNeely At least once a year, I hear from someone who doesn’t like their neighbor’s idea of landscaping. Sometimes the complaint is about a yard that breaks the green suburban ribbon of lawn. More often, I hear from the other, persecuted side of the street, where the earth has been lovingly tended to nurture sensibly chosen plants that fulfill the homeowner’s aesthetic and …
