Comments (2)sergnic - what part of Italy are you living in? Are you in the city or out in a rural area? I see mentioned in, "your page" that you are a botanist.

My family has a farm in the Cilento, Campania area just south of Palinuro a sea coast town called Marina di Camerota, Italy. There are many different type of figs and other fruit growing there.

I will be looking forward to whatever you can contribute concerning the questions I posed to you. Regards and thank you Tanti saluti Lou NE., PA...See MoreThis article may be of interest to some here

Years ago I dug an area of the garden down over two feet, and put in pure organic materials, including logs. I replaced all of the soil on top, leading to a raised bed. Over the years I lived there the raised bed sunk back down, but even 21 years later the area I dug was clearly a better place for plants than the rest of the yard.
