I have just built a raised bed in my garden and need advice!?

The bed is approx 3m wide and 5m long and triangular. I have a Rhododendron in the corner and an Escolonia in the short side and down the long side are a Euphorbia and a Hydrangea! I am now looking for shrubs to fill it with which will be smaller than these when fully grown so that I can taper the heights of the plants down to the Lavandula and some annuals at the front edges! Do you have any suggestions please?

I'm assuming this is for partial shade.


For shrubs maybe some bottle brush and viburnum. Some Hosta would look nice in that arrangement as well. Also, some begonia and impatiens for your annuals.
Reply:Hebes, roses, rosemary. Do you like flowering plants? Evergreens? Cistus. Foxgloves.
Reply:Although they tend to grow big I love Camellias. For smaller plants try Hostas, Lavender for a nice scent. White arabis gives you a nice display. For summer Livingstone Daiseys, Lobellia and bizzy lizzies.
Reply:Alberta Spruce!
Reply:personally i like potentilla. it doesn't grow too high. low maintenance. plenty of flowers and a lovely silvery tinge to the leaves
Reply:There are many hardy Fushias in many colours that need no maintenance hardly. Also Cana can be dotted between there are many varigated leaved varieties with gorgeous vibrant flowers The tubers can be left in all year round. Roses, Scabious( chocolate, mauve, pink, white), Hardy mesembryanthemum, these are very vivid and striking colours and will go through the winter without problems excellent at the edge of a border intermingle with stocks for a glorious scent on a summers evening.
Reply:alpines.very cheap.very low maintenance.

Help me locate a flower!?

Last summer I saw a flower that grows on a single 5-6 foot tall stalk with large leaves on the stem. The flower is crimson and reminds me of a rhododendron flower. It seems to bloom in August and last until the first frost. Last fall I saw it in Eastern PA. I would like to plant it that in my garden and all of my internet searches have not turn it up yet. Any guesses?

Red spider lily's only grow down south, and the only lily that lasts past late spring is the tiger lily. What you may have seen is either the wild rose or poppy. I'm from the other end of the state and those two are the only ones that come to mind.
Reply:It could be a Cala Lilly. They now come in different colors too.Bulbs have to be dug up and stored every winter.
Reply:This is a lily that grows from a bulb. Returns every year. So sorry I do not know it's proper name, but locals call it a spider lilly.

Estimate the volume and cost.?

The lawn area requires a base of topsoil 10cm deep. The flower beds are 50 cm deep. The rockery garden is built up to a height of 1m. Each tree requires a hole 1m in diameter and 1m deep. Each roughly cylindrical hole is filled with topsoil. The cedar hedging, bamboo, and rhondodendron bushes require holes 50 cm in diameter and 50 cm deep. These holes are filled with topsoil. The boxwood hedging requires a trench 50cm wide and 50cm deep. Topsoil can be purchased for $15/m3. Estimate the volume and cost of the topsoil for the garden.


cedar hedging=14m


bamboo=7m


rhododendron=17m


boxwood hedging=26m


flower beds=22m


rockery garden=43m


lawn area=230m


trees=7m

Estimate the volume and cost.?
dont forget to allow for compaction approx. 1/3

Question about Nietzsche's madness?

Is it plausable that Frederich Nietzsche was poisoned by the church? He wrote many damning words about christianity at a sensitive time for the church, including a book called "The Antichrist." The idea they wanted dead is irrifutable but wouldnt they prefer to use a poison that would make him mad instead, in order to destroy his credibility?





Such chemicals exist:





==IERBA LOCA and TAGILI== (Pernettya furens and P. parvifolia) are two of about 25 species of Pernettya, mostly very small subshrubs that grow in the highlands from Mexico to Chile, the Galápagos and Falkland islands, Tasmania, and New Zealand. These plants belong to the heath family, Ericaceae, along with the cranberry, blueberry, Scotch heather, rhododendron, and trailing arbutus. Several species are known to be toxic to cattle and man, but only these two are known definitely to be employed as hallucinogens.

Question about Nietzsche's madness?
Nothing would surprise me of religion! Religion is a mans way of controlling and manipulating the masses. Thur out the centuries religion has changed to suck in more people church doctrine changed to celebrate Christmas in Dec to coincide with the pagans that celebrated the winter solstice. many other such doctrine changes have occurred as well for the convince of keeping the believers in line.
Reply:What possibly poisoned Nietzshe was the illegal drugs that he was on in order to become a major philosopher.

Larch or tamarack (same species different name), black spruce, balsalm fir, jack pines...I wouldn't mention Rhododendrum personally, as it is not endemic to this biome, and prefers more temperate forest types.
