Default Need advice on how to build a small rockery

I have purchashed lots of alpines and quite a few rocks and would like
to make a feature of them within a small rockery. It will be in the
corner of the garden where the two fences meet. I have no idea, how to
build or start the rockery. Can anyone give me advice please.


Take rocks and heap them up in the corner, fill spaces between rocks
with soil, stuff plants into soil. Just like arranging crysthanamums
in a vase.

But you need to know the conditions the alpines you have bought will
like, acid or alkaline soil, wet or well drained?
