1. Ukuze uthintele ishedi yakho ukuba ingangeni emanzini, kufuneka uqale urhangqe uphahla. Sika ngononophelo umphezulu wengxowa yakho yomgquba uze ukhuphe umhlaba ukuze uwusebenzise kamva. Emva koko yenza iphepha leplastiki kwingxowa ngokusika umthungo osecaleni. Lisebenzisele ukugquma uphahla lweshedi, uqinisekise ukuba kukho i-overhang encinci ejikeleze yonke indawo. Ungadinga iingxowa ezingaphezulu ngokuxhomekeke kubukhulu bophahla. Ukuba kunjalo, qiniseka ukuba iingxowa eziphezulu zibekwe phezulu ukuze ukwazi ukuhambisa amanzi. Beka i-overhang kuyo yonke indawo kwisakhelo sophahla lweshedi ngee-roofing tacks, malunga ne-20cm nganye.

2. Qala ngaphambili (kwicala elisezantsi lophahla), linganisa uze usike ubude obuvela kwibhodi yedekhi ukuze ilingane. Yibambe kwishedi, faka imingxunya yokulinganisa ngaphambi kokugrumba eya kudlula kwibhodi yedekhi nakwisakhelo sophahla lweshedi. Imingxunya mayibe malunga ne-15cm ukusuka kwenye kwaye igrunjwe kwisithathu esisezantsi sebhodi ukuze iqine. Sebenzisa izikrufu zomthi zangaphandle, zikrufe endaweni yazo. Phinda kwakhona kwicala elichaseneyo (eliphezulu). Emva koko macala omabini. Xa onke amane ekwindawo yawo, gqobhoza imingxunya enobubanzi obuyi-2cm ukusuka kwenye (malunga ne-15cm ukusuka kwenye) ukunceda ukutsalwa kwamanzi.

3. Ukuze wongeze amandla kwisakhiwo, faka ibhloko encinci yomthi kwikona nganye, uze usebenzise i-drill, wenze kwakhona imingxunya yokulinganisa edlula kwiibhloko ize ingene kwisakhelo esitsha. Bamba endaweni yayo ngezikrufu zomthi zangaphandle.

4. Ukuze uphucule ukutsalwa kwamanzi, galela umaleko wegrabile (2-3cm ubunzulu) kwifreyimu — ungasebenzisa neziqwenga zamatye ezivela kwindlela yakho yokungena okanye nawaphi na amatye amancinci onokuwafumana xa uhamba. Oku kuya kunceda ekuvuseleleni umoya kwizityalo.

5. Thintela umgquba ukuba untywilisele kwi-gravel ngokusika ishiti elidala okanye i-duvet cover ngokobukhulu bayo uze uyibeke ngaphakathi kwifreyimu. Oku kuya kunceda ekuthinteleni ukhula.

6. Zalisa isakhelo sakho nge-compost eneenjongo ezininzi — xuba nayo nayiphi na i-gravel eseleyo ukuze wongeze amanzi. Ii-bark chips nazo ziya kusebenza ukuba unayo egadini yakho. Ukuba ishedi yakho indala kwaye ayikwazi ukuthwala ubunzima bomhlaba, beka izityalo ezifakwe kwiimbiza phezu kwe-gravel endaweni yoko uze ujikeleze ngee-bark chips.

Iintlobo ezimelana nembalela nomoya zisebenza kakuhle. Izityalo eziluhlaza ezisetyenziswa kakhulu kuphahla ziquka i-sedums kunye ne-succulents, kodwa kufanelekile ukuzama ingca efana ne-Stipa. Imifuno efana ne-oregano isebenza kakuhle, kwaye iintyatyambo ezikhula kancinci ezifana ne-saxifrages zilungile ekutsaleni izinambuzane kunye ne-butterfies. Ukuze ugcine uphahla lwakho lugcinwe kakuhle, manzisa kuphela ngamaxesha omileyo, njengoko uphahla oluluhlaza olugcweleyo lunokongeza uxinzelelo olungeyomfuneko kwisakhiwo. Susa ukhula olungafunekiyo kwaye ujonge ukuba imingxunya yokukhupha amanzi ayivalwanga. Buyisela umthi rhoqo ekwindla ngokubrasha umthi ogciniweyo kwisakhiwo somthi. Fafaza i-compost encinci ejikeleze isityalo ngasinye ekupheleni kobusika/ekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo ukuze unyuse amanqanaba ezondlo.
