Hi Susan,

    In what way are the woody plants being affected?  Is there
    an article somewhere that talks about this, or is just sort
    of a word of mouth thing?

    I really like to mix woody plants in with my perennial beds --
    using things like Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (bearberry) and Gaultheria 
    procumbens (wintergreen).  I've also got some Amorpha canescens
    (leadplant) and Ceanothus (obovatus?  americanus?  can't remember)
    (New Jersey tea) in the beds, as well as the standard backdrop
    of trees/shrubs/vines.  

    Any word on it affecting perennials?

Thanks,

Chris (who just bought 20 pounds of the stuff)
