Does this mean that Mandragora does not like lime? I am planning to get some
and grow it in a container as I fear it would NOT survive a winter here.
Should I create my own well drained soil to avoid lime? I have a shade cloth
on part of the back porch so there in no direct sun.... is that enough?
Blessings of the Midsummer Season!
