Coastal garden - chalky soil
Chalky soils are alkaline, free draining and poor at holding on to nutrients. The soil may appear stony, and can get very dry in the summer^. Fortunately some plants just love those conditions. It's best to start with smaller plants rather than mature ones as they will establish better. Dig in compost or manure to enrich the soil and add a "mulch" of bark after planting to keep the moisture in.
