Suggestions for poor soil site ?
Several years ago I dug a semi-circle out of the front lawn to plant up for more colour. In retrospect this seems to have been a bad idea as nothing does well. The spot is a close to a lime tree and not far from a section of leylani, which are taking all the moisture and nutrients from the bed to the extent that the soil cracks up in the summer, probably exacerbated by the clay. Can any one recommend and suitable types of plants, I'm tempted to go with daffs as they'll grow anywhere, a sprinking of heathers for all round colour and they something like impatiens for summer colour. Sun wise, it tends to get shaded first thing and then full sun thereafter. Though I dug in a fair bit of compost initially and its gets a good mulcing, Im intending to remove more of the soil and dig in yet more compost. Thanks -- Mike Cox |
