Hallson Gardens

Thanks.
It is limestone gravel. I don't know how alkaline the soil can be for grasses. There is a lot of dust and small chips of limestone holding the gravel tight. Thast is what makes it so hard to break up.

I will be moving my gravel drive over and will gain about 6 feet wide by 100 feet long of it to use for gardening. Right now my neighbor and I share the drive but it is all but 2 feet on my property.

All my gardens are rabbit fertilized. I have over 200 daylily clumps and over one hundred hostas so a few chewed p...

Thanks for the reply, Snow. I feel better now.

I didn't clean up my gardens last fall because we had a death in the family and I didn't get around to it. The day before yesterday I was picking up the dead leaves and stems from a row of hostas along a fence when I got a ball of fluff that had baby rabbits under it. They were very young, black ski...

Several natural predators eat Japanese beetles. Among birds, only starlings eat the beetles, but several others eat the larvae in the spring.

I also used aluminum foil to help reflect it and had the fixture on chains so they were 2" from the top of the plants.I had 2 flats end to end and all the plants got sufficient light except for the 4 on the outer ends.They were ...
