» biogardener - Look to Nature I get my gardening inspiration from Mother Nature. I have clay soil, and I know how pine trees will neutralize the alkalinity of the clay to give the plants a chance which need acid soil. I know from years of hiking in the mountains of Europe and Canada which plants thrive under pine trees at the edge of forest. Here are the ones which I can think of at the moment and which I am growing under my pine trees successfully:
Most of these need sun, so they only do well if the sun hits them under the trees. Aquilegia, however, likes shade and will develop the most vibrant color in shade. Flowering bulbs also get more vibrant colors on the edge of pines. Acidity produces an almost irridescent quality in my tulips so I always cover them with pine branches before winter and let the needles fall off as fertilizer. -- posted by biogardener
