Weezie's been up to her eyeballs in pond scum!
Deep~Deep!!!
Deep~Deep!!!
Between glitches here on the forum and router boxes on my computer
and Adelphia havin' some major problems
and catching up and "STUFF"......and "LIFE"
I'm always behind. <img border="0" alt="[perplexed]" title="" src="graemlins/confused.gif" />
BUT......you know whenever that word,
COMPOST comes up you know I'm never too far away grinnnn:
Anyhow, what does your compost look like Phoenix?
Does it still look like all/or some of the stuff you put in it? Or a rich color of black or brown?
Sometimes the top of the pile can still be too
"Uncomposted to use" but the bottom of the pile may be that rich colored humusie type soil you're looking for..
Check under your pile, if it's a nice consistancy, use that....
If not, I'd go buy a bag or two of compost,
and use that and wait a wee~bit....
I've used those bags, and their nice and rich...
A foot note though, those daylilies are tough as nails though, from reading and listening to one guy that sells them.. he says they're a tough perennial and adapt to many different types of soil..and the one's I have here....I have several varieties and all have survived inspite of my neglect at times...
And if your phlox are anything like mine,
they're tough as nails toooooooo!
I haven't touched the one's here,
and they just keep
growing and
growing and multiplying and multiplying...
*they were here when we bought the place*
I have them all over now, even had a mutant color appear that wasn't here before...
so, they should be okay for you there in that crappy soil too..
**Sometimes, too nice of dirt/soil can be detrimental to a
plant remember....some types are never meant to be in rich soil...
