It should not be too large or too small: a tiny garden to grow whatever he wants, and a large garden will take a lot of time and effort. The size of the garden depends on how much and what you intend it to grow. The boundaries of the area it should be noted, by driving pegs where the angles are assumed to be the future of the garden. So it will be easier to make a plan. Between the pegs pull the ribbon or twine.
