Hi everyone, today I checked every corner of the garden to see how the soil was. "Native" soil is clay, so when I planted daylilies (only in one section, the other are in full clay) I added common garden soil. One spot needed to be filled more than the others, I used a bag of garden soil.. well, that spot now is now completely waterproof. I was ignorant about anything gardening, I grabbed a bag of what the garden center sold and now I checked. There's a high % of peat. The soil get wets only on the surface, while underneath is dry powder. Water can't wet it. It looks "dead". So today I mixed it with a bit of clay where some earthworms live, mixed, watered, mixed until it looked all wet. Do you think I'd better take out that soil and use a good quality soil? Maybe from the surrounding woods? The odd thing is that in that place my black calla lily bulb became rotten and died.
