| I have a pile of rocks roughly 12' X 4'on the side of the yard. I was thinking of making a rock garden there. Could I just throw some dirt on top and more or less work it in or do something else? Also what type of plants would work well there? I live in Southcentral Alaska. I would like something fairly easy to grow and easy to start. Thanks. |

| Zone 3 gets pretty cold!Work in the soil on your pile,and do spot plantings after the soil has settled a bit.I would add finely crushed gravel and sand to the Planting mix you use.Please Check out the Denver Botanical Gardens for listings of plants that may do well in your zone. |
