Crimsonsketch's Backyard - Shade garden

Created on Wednesday, 07 May 08

South west corner along the fence. Dense shade, thick clay soil amended with peat, compost, some leaves, and sand. Approx 3 ft on either side of the corner gets no direct sun – ever! Beyond 3 ft there is a chance for a little sun, more on the west fence, than the south (where the light is directly blocked by the fence).

Garden Type: Shade | Sun: Full Shade | Soil: Clay
