So far my hostas are still hanging on. I'll keep a close eye on what's growing out there and see how it does. I don't have much. And I was thinking the same thing just keep mulching with the leaves that fall.
Thank you for the tip. I just wanted to look neat with the flowers and I'm afraid all the leaves in the cones are just going to make it look really bad and smother my hostas. but we'll see. I have three beautiful kids to help out LOL
Stuffed clams? Yes mine is a true Magnolia over 70 years old and at least 30 ft tall if not more. Huge bass lots of roots at the surface of the ground. But then also lots of area around it that could be planted if the roots can reach down.
I just read a quick blurb on another website that stated that you cannot grow anything under Magnolia trees. Is this true? I did have ivy growing around it like crazy but we cleared it out and now I'm trying to grow hostas, begonias and coleuses. The main issue is trying to keep it clean under...
Everything was covered with mulch until hurricane Florence. Still waiting and getting rid of debris. And plenty bulbs are yet to come up. I can't wait till everything feels in nicely.
This whole area used to be full of raised beds. It hurt me to my heart when I had this massive tree laying right across it it took months to clear all the debris out. I'm still in the RV from Hurricane Florence a year-and-a-half later actually and we're still cleaning up.
Thank you. I do have a friend not too far away that has horses. I've gotten small loads for composting and spreading around shrubs. Thanks for the suggestion. We have a trailer I can haul it.
