How to creat well drained?
I'm thinking of putting in a garden court and was looking at some catalogs yesterday. All the flowers I was interested in need well drained soil and I'm sure the area to be planted in clay soil is pretty heavy. I heard that if you just dig the clay and replace it with composed, basically, you create bath tubs do not drain well. So I need to know the best way to improve drainage. I'm looking to fit in the area in August-September for planting in late September or October
Yes, removing the clay helps, but what you really need to do so amend the soil. Take a little clay up the area and then add compost, sand, dry litter, dry grass clippings, manure, and then up again. You must do this for several years and eventually your soil clay soil will become healthy and beautiful. I know because I live in OK and we are loaded with clay and that's what I do on my land. You not even know I started with clay if you saw my solo now. You will need to continue to add compost and amendments to your soil yearly to keep it healthy. Good luck

Flower Gardening in the Hot Midwest: USDA Zone 5 and Lower Zone 4 $114.16 The Midwest presents special challenges to the aspiring flower gardener. Hot winds, intense sun, and unrelenting summer heat, combined with bitter cold in the winter and sudden shifts in temperature, call for hardy blooms and careful planning by those who tend them. In this practical, charmingly user-friendly guide to gardening success, veteran gardener Linda Hillegass outlines her tried-and-true strategies for outmaneuvering the midwestern climate to cultivate a thriving garden.Addressing both aspects of this distinctive climate, where plants must be resistant to extended periods of very high heat as well as to subzero winters, Hillegass catalogs the flowering plants best suited to the extremes of a region that extends from South Dakota and Nebraska east to Indiana (USDA zone 5 and the southern half of zone 4) and also includes Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, and Illinois. She offers guidance on preparing and enriching the soil, composting, planting and transplanting, watering, pinching and pruning, and combating pests. She also provides a gardener’s chronology of how long and how frequently specific plants can be expected to bloom. Her tips will help maximize each plant’s beauty over the course of the season and, for the many perennials she discusses, from year to year.If visions of daffodils, dahlias, and daylilies dance in your head through the long months of a midwestern winter, this is the book for you. The novice gardener, the experienced gardener new to the Midwest, and the midwestern gardener who has despaired at delicate flowers withering under the unforgiving sun will all welcome Hillegass’s friendly, encouraging, and eminently practical guide. |
