Yes, but he should also have a wealth of videotapes of his father to appreciate.

afraid.

Subject: [CHAT] Woodland - Krikey!


How does one keep a woodland garden going?
I put in a lovely little raised bed surrounded by rock wall in a shady
area about 20 feet from the base of a maple several years ago. The
Glaucidium was to be the star. It steadily improved for about 3 yrs
then
started going downhill with only 3 small blooms this year. I figured,
since the soil had been a bit too sandy for my liking to begin with,
even
though I added humus then, it probably needed more plus some nutrients.
So I dug it out and I was right, too sandy, but the amount of tree roots
was astounding! They were stealing every bit of good stuff that had
been

in that bed.  I dug and cut, dug and cut, then added lots of

leafmold.  I
tossed in alfalfa, kelp, greensand, sul-po-mag, rock phosphate, stirred
it

all up.  Leveled it out, plunked the Glaucidium back in, but not the

rest

of the plants. And watered. Phew!
But how long will this last?

Oh - the Krikey part - did you hear Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter

from
Down Under died? Stung in the heart by a stingray. What a shame. He
was

such a fun guy.
