    You can place a stake at each end and then tie a string on the stakes. This will create a straight line that you can till down as a guide.

    My back yard slopes so @ the top we made a vegetable garden, we used railway ties on three sides and dug them in on the second tier we had the one railway tie from the garden and then used landscaping ties for the other sides and front and that is where I planted my stawberries, it turned out good and it looks great, hope this helps you

    Generally, north-south; however, it really doesn't matter that much as long as all the growing requirements are met.

    If you are talking about what I think you are talking about...

    Country generally means hand made looking. So, decorations may be things like a hand painted sign, grapevine or straw wreaths or arts and crafts.

    Traditional is formal. Straight lines, classical statuary and clearly defined. Think English formal gardens.

    Eclectic tends to be artsy. Shabby chic, colorful and unexpected.

    As far as design goes, technically, no there is no rule. But as far as individual plants go, there are as different plants have different temp, water and light needs. For example, you would not want to plant cactus next to marsh marigolds as cacti need dry, warm, bright sun conditions while marsh marigolds like shade, lots of water and moderate temperatures.

    The best thing you can do is examine the conditions of your garden space. What kind of light do you get in different spots (and this may vary greatly in even one garden), what are your summer and winter temps, how much rain do you get and how much water can you provide, how is the drainage in your soil.

    Once you know all these things, you can locate plants that like those conditions and plant them in the right spots in your garden.
