Survey and Initial Planning
Objective
The primary goal of today’s work was to survey the existing garden structure and plan the requirements for plant selection, soil assessment, and irrigation system setup.
Tasks Completed
1. Garden Structure Analysis
○ Conducted a detailed survey of the existing garden layout.
○ Identified areas for plant placement and pipeline installation.
2. Plant Requirement Calculation
○ Counted the number of plants required:
■ 16 plants for ground planting.
■ 2 plants for pot placement.
○ Decided on the arrangement of plants based on aesthetic and functional needs. 3. Soil Analysis & Plant Selection
○ Examined soil quality and type.
○ Researched plant species suitable for the soil conditions via online resources. 4. Irrigation System Planning
○ Measured the total length of pipe required using a measuring tape.
○ Calculated the total pipeline length needed: 98 meters.
○ Determined the optimal pipeline layout to ensure efficient watering.
Observations & Key Findings
● Checked the availability of basic tools required for cleaning and structuring the garden. ● The existing garden has enough space for planned plants and irrigation setup. ● The soil conditions were analyzed to ensure plant compatibility.
● The pipeline system needs 98 m of pipes to cover the garden area efficiently. ● Implemented a two-way supply system for the garden:
○ Right side: 50m of pipe required for half the garden.
○ Left side: 48m of pipe required for the remaining garden.- Measurement Of Garden Pipe

Tasks Completed
Debris Removal: Cleared fallen leaves, branches, and other garden waste.
Weeding: Removed unwanted weeds from garden beds and lawns.
Deadheading: Pruned dead flowers to encourage new blooms.
Soil Aeration: Loosened compacted soil to improve water and nutrient flow.
Observations & Key Findings
Water Flow: Loosening compacted soil enhanced water infiltration, ensuring better hydration for plant roots.
Plant Health: Regular care and maintenance have led to noticeable improvements in plant vigor and general garden appearance.
