Best Perennials for North Missouri Soil?
Posted: Thu May 15, 2014 7:40 am
Hi!I live in North Mississippi and our weather is so that we can have all four seasons in one month.Our soil is black gumbo;so sticky when wet it won't come off the shovel,and so hard when dry you can't get a tiller to break it up.
Now my question is this:what kinds of perenails do best in this soil?We have tried adding sand,sawdust,mulch;it all gets impacted right into the clay.I have one spot that is somewhat moist all the time.What can I put there?
I am thinking about going way out on the dirt roads and digging up the wildflowers I have seen growing out there.They may be weeds but many are beautiful.Maybe something untamed will adapt to this mess of a lawn I have.
