New homeowner, just sorta winging it... (lemmy.world)

Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?

Wood right next to the house is a big no no.

The whole house is wood!

Yes, you can't help that. You can help but spacing any extraneous word at least 3ft from the house is the general rule of thumb.
