If you put the cut down plants in Autumn with seeds on into the compost heap when you mulch with it in Spring the seeds from self seeders germinate. I have amazing results from doing this.

With the xeric gardener in Ohio.... I live in Colorado with clay soil that gets hot and dry, but will also intermittently be soggy. I've tried some xeric plants. Some plants not surviving winter (indian blanket flower, mexican hats, bluebeard, butterfly bush, shasta daisy, and tickseeds) might just be due to the soil. You can look at changing the soil, but also look at plants that tolerate the soil that you have. Asters, heliopsis, and blue flax seem to do very well, and others have good early returns. My advice is to experiement with a lot of different plants that you like and see what sticks. It will get you results, you'll learn something, you'll have some surprises, and it's also a lot of fun.

Great Q and A. You often talk of using grit but I don’t think we get it in USA. If you know what we can use instead, please let us know. The perlite/ vermiculite - are they substitute. Usually they are mixed in and not a layer. The smallest pea gravel I can get does not look as small as your grit.

I believe it would be chicken grit in the US?

What is the perlite , compost ratio you use to pot on please ?
@rosyhardy187 күн бұрын
We no longer use perlite. We have moved to a sustainable product cork. 1-2mm granules. If adding for potting on 1:4 is enough, it depends on the plants. It can be less.

I see all your young plants on the ground in the hoop house and my back hurts at the thought of moving them all. Are they on the ground (as opposed to up on tables) because their roots are better protected? Or is it that having enough tables for a space that size would be prohibitively expensive?

They are moved there to be the starting point of the hardening off process.

Not many shrubs are able to be split . If they are layering, so have stems that have rooted like Lonicera purpusea. There are some sub shrubs such as Phygelius that could be split. Most shrubs are propagated by cuttings.
