Clay/rocky garden bed

Recommended Posts

Down the side of my house is a lovely 3m x 1m bed which about a foot high off the ground and has sat empty since we moved in couple of years ago. Ive never really been interested in sorting it out buy now that spring is here ive wanted to get it looking nice.

 

The only thing is the bed is very hard and bits of browny clay matter with rocks and pebbles throughout. Having churned over the top 3-5 inch or so and raked it im not sure of the following from here on in

 

1 what plants best suit the conditions

2 how to plant given the conditions of the soil

3 maintaining / preparing the bed for planting

 

The area gets sun for around 4 hours a day and then becomes shaded.

 

Thanks

Andy
