looks good guys. Which fence type is cheaper......the steel wire or the wood & wire?

The protection looks good...........I hope for another mild winter. It was actually warm here today......I was in a short sleeve shirt.

I'd incorporate sphagnum peat moss into the soil. Sphagnum PM has a pH of 4.0 or so and will keep the soil moist. I'd also place 1" depth of SPM und...

great Agaves Andy. The A. montana is nice with its dark green leaves.

Hi Barb,not all Yuccas prefer higher pH. The rupicolae series of Yuccas typically grow in limestone areas (Y. rupicola, Y. pallida, Y. reverchonii, Y...

Rhodo's need acidic soil............our soils are very acidic......generally 4.5 to 6.0. I'm guessing areas where Rhodo's aren't common have higher p...
