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.

Feel free to browse the topics below to see if we've already answered a question similar to yours. If you can't find the information you need, the question submission form is located at the bottom of the page.

  • We planted six Texas Mountain Laural bushes in our yard 5-years ago and they are not much larger than when we planted them. We were told not to fertilize them but only water. What can we use to encourage them to grow?

    Fertilizer, Tree Questions

    Texas Mountain Laurel are a slow growing species. They're also very drought tolerant and require well drained soils, so be careful that you aren't overwatering. Too much water can stunt or kill them. There's no harm in applying an organic fertilizer such as our 6-2-2 Soil Food. Incorporating compost into the soil around the plant can also help encourage growth.
