Q: What direction should a garden face?

Rows should be oriented north to south in New Zealand. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so this will provide the plants with maximum sunshine throughout the day. You don't want the larger plants to shadow smaller ones, so size arrangement is crucial.

Q: What is the best location for a garden?

The majority of plants and vegetables thrive in locations in New Zealand that receive eight to 10 hours a day of direct sunshine and are close to a clean water source to make watering simple and convenient.

Q: How much water do you need to irrigate?

Plants consume 4.5mm of water on average each day in the summer. When growth is at its height, they consume more than 8mm every day. The usual value for this that is the most easily understood is one l/s (litre per second) per acre for 8.6 mm. The irrigation demand would be 0.5 l/s when the daily water requirement is 4.3 mm.
