Re: Shade garden help

Thanks Marge and Gene for your help and the words of encouragement. I have
previous  experience with planting under trees, including maples but I never
encountered anything like this soil surface. It  has the texture of those
doormats made of the coconut fiber. Thanks Marge for the assurance that
"once you get past the first
6" or so of solid root web, you will find much more open soil...it's
that top 6" that's really tough going" - I did not know that. And my first
tool purchase this spring will be  a digging fork - I am embarassed to say
that I don't have one.
Thanks Gene for the remainder not to bite to much - I am also planning to
rebuild  the small pond I have on my lot and to built a  sloping bed for the
rock garden against the wall of the greenhouse. My yard  has a lot of
potential - much more than I do I am afraid. Sophie Rapaport
