Anybody Here Live in Keene?

9 years ago

Having no luck with "Zone Buddies". Trying to find someone in Keene (Eastern Cross Timbers Region that runs thru part of Johnson County) to get a handle on this sandy saline soil!
Thx! Donna in TX Zone 8a or 7b, depending on which chart you're looking at!

I'm not quite in that area, but I also garden in Cross Timbers sand. It doesn't hold water well and I use a lot of compost and mulch to retain moisture.

Are you having specific issues with your garden?
