| I am getting ready to start a large Lavender garden soon and would love to hear from anyone in my area who has grown lavender Any tips or advice on your experiences (good or bad) would be very appreciated.
I am also interested in finding Lavender sources as I will need to get some plants in the very near future.
P.S. - Does anyone have any suggestions for inexpensive or recycled raised bed materials for my Lavender? I have horrible clay soil and a raised bed is a must. Or maybe you have some knowledge or pictures of planting Lavender in mounds? |

| Well, I'm closer to Hundred WV, but I have tried to grow lavender (the 'hardy' stuff, I forget what kind it is, might be vera), but it's the zone 5 hardy stuff. I put limestone rocks in the soil and hoped that would have been enough drainage, also added sand (a bad idea maybe), and the lavender didn't like that. I think a better thing would have been to use a light potting soil mix or something, but raccoons dig up any 'good' soil here. HTH! |
