| wondering if anyone in within the city limits of Louisville can tell me what are generally the types of soil here. also is there somewhere to get soil tested? what are some of the typical conditioners added to the soil here?
does anyone have any experience with the double dig method? when do local nurseries begin stocking bare root stock? and finally when does one plant peonys? appreciate any and all responses...thanks |

| You can take your soil tests to the local county extension agent. I'm not but I think the office is somewhere downtown. Check the phone book. The soil conservation office can probably tell you what types of soil you have. Valley Station soil is probably different from Jeffersontown or Saint Matthews. I suspect it's a much wetter soil anyway. The mart stores will start stocking bare root plants around the middle of Feb. Just a tad early to my thinking but you can either pot them up or hold them a while longer in the crisper of your fridge. I start shipping bareroot daylilies usually sometime in April. Peonies transplanted bare root is usually done in the fall after the foliage gets yucky looking . September or October. Usually spring planted peonies are those in pots. Most garden centers and mart stores carry them in the spring. Janet |
