What about taking the opportunity to create a shade garden? If you
incorporate lots of organic bulk into the soil, you could plant
hostas, astilbes, iris and my big-time favourites, candelabra
primulas. Taking it one step further, line with some kind of heavy
plastic & have a bog garden.

I'm planning to make a perennial garden in a disused dog run. This
space has been vacant for three years now (no dog, just weeds).
Planting will take place next spring.
My question is: What ammendments, if any, will be necessary because of
the earth having been used as a liquid waste receptacle for the dog? I
already plan on compost, peat moss and mulch. The area was a garden at
one time (before the dog joined the household).
Because this area is between the garage and the fence, can't be seen
from the house and doesn't get a lot of sun, I'm going to plant some
garden "thugs" and let them battle it out (and keep down the weeds).
Advice, comments, and suggestions will be welcome.
Thanks.
