No-dig gardening is a method that aims for minimal disturbance of the soil, so that the natural processes can be preserved. This allows the natural organisms to thrive, increasing the soil' s overall health and therefore that of your plants. An example of these organisms is mycorrhizal fungus, which forms a mutualistic relationship with plants and aid in root growth. Digging your garden can break up the fungal threads in the soil, meaning that your plants don’t benefit from these helpful organisms. No-dig gardening allows natural relationships between organisms to flourish and preserves the overall structure of the soil, leading to improved plant growth. 1, record 1, English, - no%2Ddig%20gardening

The worked stone bridge on the east side of the Shokintel has a length of about 5. 96 meter, width of about 0. 70 meters and thickness of about 0. 36 meters. When its architectural structure is considered, the stone bridge might appear to be a straight line that is somewhat too strong for a guiding path to a tea garden which should be very natural. Actually, without being at all unnatural, it harmonizes well with spatial composition of the garden architecture. 2, record 2, English, - garden%20architecture

On distingue différentes architectures de jardin : le jardin à l'anglaise : s'inspire des jardins orientaux dits paysagés; dans ce jardin, on trouve de grandes surfaces engazonnées sur un terrain vallonné où coulent parfois des petits cours d'eau; des bouquets d'arbres arrêtent l'œil; des trouées dans les massifs laissent échapper quelques perspectives; le jardin à l'italienne : jardin en terrasses garnies de balustrades, de perrons, de sculptures, de fontaines; des places ombragées permettent de se reposer de l'ardeur du soleil; [...] les fleurs prennent une place peu importante mais l'eau et le feuillage des arbustes persistants assurent à ce jardin raffinement et élégance; le jardin à la française : ici tout est symétrique; la végétation est basse, groupée en parterres, terrasses; des petites bordures de buis encadrent des scènes florales parfaites, géométriques ou légumières [...] 2, record 2, French, - architecture%20des%20jardins
