Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

    Soil Questions

    Evergreens usually like acidic soil, looking at your email address it looks like you are in New York? I would take a sample of your soil on both sides put the soil from each side in a separate zip lock bag and mark the bags to reflect which side the soil came from and send it off for testing to determine what the left side is deficient from the right side. You can also tell the soil testing company what you are growing and they will tell you what you need to add to the soil in order for the plants to survive. Check with your state agricultural office for a list of soil testing laboratories they would recommend.
