Crossing the Road
I have always dreamed of having hostas but we have never had an area with enough shade for them to survive!
I think i do now but need some hosta expert opinions please!
The back side of my chicken run 20' long gets morning to mid day sun only.
I have a trench dug to help with the wetter seasons so that the run doesn't get flooded but it is also on a slight hill.
Here's a pic for better understanding.
Behind the chair on the left Ithere are some potted herbs. Then I have laid down cardboard all along the run to help with weeds and add to soil.
I have the wood frame layin there that is 6" deep (old shelf hubs made long time ago and he was gonna trash).
● Is 6" deep enough for the hostas to get growing and established and then their roots can grow on down into ground over time?
● Is that too much sun or just enough?
● will the trench there just in front of the cardboard cause any growing problems with the hostas?
