Re: hostas

Hello Bill,
    I have been playing with hypertufa troughs in my garden tucked in along
the paths, or just off the paths, among large stones. They make a great
place to show off the mini hosta. The lean medium in the trough helps to
control the size and spread of the hosta, keep them on the mini side. Also
they are a bit closer to the eyes and do not get lost as they tend to in the
open garden. Having pretty good luck thus far.
