Large root mass winter ground covers for north Georgia.
Comments (3)Thanks for your continued interest across my different inquiries. I WILL be putting in a cover crop to be turned in the spring. Thing is, I read an interesting article about the use of deeply rooted brassicas, daikon radish and other cover crops both to reach deeply into hardpan soils and to provide food/vegetative mass if left in the soil. That was an excellent slide show. With rather solid, deeply red, Georgia clay I have both to add nutrients and humus while also breaking up the top layers. The soil is rich in minerals, low in airflow, acidic, and slow to drain. I don't know if I could really ever add enough humus to the top six inches....See MoreWild Blackberries in North Georgia
Comments (8)Hi all, thanks for the info. In the fruit forum someone told me that it's best to let them get really ripe, to let them turn from glossy black to a more dull, muted black. Yes they are definately invasive. LOL. About those beetles.. I remember having read once somewhere that if you have trouble with an insect it may be a good idea to plant something irresistable to them, just for their own use, to keep them from munching on your crops. I don't remember what insect in particular that was about, but it seems to be the situation I have with these blackberries. I have always felt lucky not to have much trouble with my roses. I've seen the jap beetles before, but never in any alarming numbers, and I've never noticed any significant damage from them to any of my plants. I guess now I know why. They really seem to love that patch of brambles. Okay I'm gonna go make a cup of tea now. Blackberry tea......See MoreAnyone growing a sweet tasting grape in middle or north Georgia?
Comments (4)You *CAN* grow grapes, just be prepared. A friend takes cuttings every year or so of her vines in spring, and plants more on her property somewhere (fences, this year on her deck...beautiful!) - she always has grapes and no worries if a vine dies, 'cause there's always more!! I have a friend who has grown grapes successfully for years and years in Cumming Georgia, until he had to move. Did spray for mold but never had Pierces. Perhaps that was because he grew some years ago?...See MoreUnknown flowering shrub North Georgia
Comments (7)Yes, looks like Rosa multiflora. The whole hyper-virulent rose rosette disease problem damaging plantings of garden roses now - see the many discussions elsewhere on Garden Web - is due to laboratory based efforts to get rid of all the R. multiflora infesting forest lands in the U.S....See Moregirlgroupgirl
