"Acidic soils are widespread. In fact, a third of the soil in North America -- the eastern half of the continent and the Pacific Northwest -- is considered acidic. Authors Todd Boland and Jamie Ellison believe in working with nature, rather than trying to change it. Instead of fighting to make soil less acidic, they will guide you to take advantage of the acidic soil you have to create beautiful gardens. A wide variety of ornamental plants, both native and exotic, thrive in acidic soil conditions. 'Gardening for Acidic Soils' focuses on sustainable gardens with a broad range of perennials, trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, and ferns. Featured plants have a myriad of ornamental attributes with specific survival strategies for acidic soil conditions. The authors combine their extensive knowledge and decades of gardening experience in this definitive guide to gardening with acidic soils."--Back cover.
