rocks, sand, and bunnypellets
Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2006 1:26 am I got my fuschia in the ground today finally. It's in a great spot, exposure wise. My painting cabin will block the winter wind and the hottest of the summer sun. But I raked out a wheelbarrow full of potato-size rocks, and man am I sore! I beefed up the remaining sand, soil, and smaller rocks with lots of bunny compost. I used the stuff from under the cages. Just scraped away the least-aged stuff and used the fertilizer underneath. Since it's a fuschia, I'm not TOO worried about it being still a little acidic. I had to move a small maple tree that was in an awkward place beside the cabin. I soaked the daylights out of it in the spot where I moved it, but won't hold my breath that it'll make it. Another strange thing about the ground out here is that there is just no knowing what will do well. I planted a rhodie, and it barely struggled along for five years. Then it suddenly took off and has turned into the most beautiful bush ever, even though it's just the standard pink. On a wild hair, I planted a clumping birch tree quite near it (they aren't so fond of acidic soil) and the silly thing is flourishing! I can pretty much throw the rule book out the window around here! Like, my well is 125 feet deep, yet a stones throw away there is a bush growing that one usually sees in swampy areas. Keeps life interesting, I think I have about 7 different biomes on my place. I still haven't worked out all the details of getting any pictures up. I'll just put in this disclaimer- I had a traumatic brain injury some years ago that really fried my left hemisphere, you know, the one that controls math and technical stuff. So techie stuff is NOT my forte! OK, I follwed a link to imgspot, lessee if I did this right. Should be a tiny image that I tried to make an avatar out of.

Critter try using PhotoBucket.com, it's more reliable and user-friendly. But I see you got the pic posted so you're there anyway.
lol, alien activity is one of the theories surrounding the creation of the prairie I live on. I think if you google "mima mounds Washington" it'll give you information about the area. Off to try photobucket! Login or register to leave a comment. |
