Re: Gardening With/Against Nature

What will not grow naturally in your local soil can put you in permanant conflict with your garden so if you desire a particular plant put it in a tub of suitable soil.
We look around other peoples gardens to see what is successful, or just pop it in to see what happens, areas can be modified by in our case, adding sand and lime to heavy clay or putting spent compost in one area of the garden.
If you have a new garden the old backbreaking double digging using organic compost/fertiliser will set the garden up for pretty much a lifetime if done properly
