First, I think this is a really, really good idea. I wish I had started ab out fifty years sooner, an d learned from som eone who knew what she was doing.
But second, I have to admit that every time I see the title of this idea, my reaction is as if it was "Gardening with Kelp Pellets" or "Gardening with Shade Perennials".
Like an ornamental border with a row of tall kids along the back edge, and scatterings of miscellaneous shorter children planted in front.
I'm sorry, my brain probably has a loose connection somewhere.
