Try JG Love your soil. You got a lot of trees. I live in Port Chester NY and I have very few trees on my property. This season I have planted some perennials around the house. My sister came to visit me and remarked does anybody live here. I had to laugh but she is right. I needed to ad some more perennials which I am doing. I also rehabilitated my hedges. I neglected it and English Ivy nearly killed the Forsythia.
