Thank you; I accidentally didn't finish writing the question properly, but it's been fixed.Orodruin said:Just a minor remark: You do not need to check the second derivative at the local extremum as you are anyway computing its value. Comparing the values of the local extrema and the boundary values will give you the global min and max.
Designing a low-maintenance garden involves choosing plants that require minimal care and arranging them in a way that reduces the need for constant maintenance. This can include using native plants, grouping plants with similar watering and sunlight needs, and incorporating hardscaping elements such as mulch or gravel to reduce the need for weeding.
Plants that are well-adapted to your climate and soil type are typically the best choice for a low-maintenance garden. Native plants, succulents, and drought-resistant plants are all good options. It's also important to choose plants that are disease and pest-resistant to minimize the need for maintenance.
Choosing plants that are suited to your climate and soil type will help reduce the need for watering. Additionally, incorporating mulch or gravel can help retain moisture in the soil. Grouping plants with similar watering needs together can also make watering more efficient.
In addition to choosing low-maintenance plants, incorporating hardscaping elements such as paths, patios, and raised beds can reduce the need for constant upkeep. Using ground covers or low-maintenance grasses can also help minimize the need for mowing and weeding.
While a low-maintenance garden will require less upkeep than a traditional garden, it's still important to regularly check for weeds, pests, and diseases. Adding a layer of mulch or compost once a year can also help keep the soil healthy and reduce the need for fertilizing. Overall, a low-maintenance garden requires less maintenance, but it's still important to stay on top of any potential issues to keep it thriving.
