OF yea, I hadn't thought of auger. Will it like the dampness?
Thanks for the ideas!

| Hi all.
| I hope you're having as much fun gardening as I am! I laid
in a
| new garden, this time one large enough to include several
trees.
| Nice for something different. I think it will take several
years
| to fill this one.
|
| Anyway, I have a problem area I need help with. We have an
area
| (about 10x30), under trees, that stays damp. It's in a
natural
| area but I don't want to cover the dampness with mulch.
| Oftentimes, out here in the "country," many groundcovers
| (pachysandra, periwinkle) seem snake-y. I tried some of the
| plants (forgot the name) with heartshaped, red rimmed leaves,
| white flowers and spreads like wildfire; I like it but it's
too
| tall. Any ideas?
|
| As always, thanks in advance.
