Dig over the ground, turning down the grass sod to kill it. Or buy some Roundup and water it on to kill the grass and weeds and then dig it over.

Before digging, spread one bag of compost and dig this in. Then plant.

You can choose annuals for colour or some perennials that do not need to be replaced. You can find out more about these by consulting our Plant finder and selecting Perennial flower in the Plant type box.
