Re: Compost
Hi all-
Donna's post about compost has me wondering. We're putting in a new
large bed later this month that will have 2 trees, about 15 shrubs, some
grasses, dwarf pines and, of course, perennials. An employee at a
garden center advised against making the soil too rich (when I asked
what I should amend with) saying the plants will suffer when they grow
through the "good" stuff and hit the #$%&! soil underneath.
We were going to till in some mushroom soil and peat. Are we wrong to
do that? Is it possible to make the soil "too" good? TIA

winds so strong I can, as I type, hear furniture sliding on the deck!!)
