Accent plant clean-up

September 24, 2013 by Jonas Dupuich

About this time of year, I look through the garden to see if any of my accent plants are candidates for upcoming exhibits. With luck, I’ll find a few. If not, I may put a few together so they’ll have time to grow before they’re needed.

Most look somewhat rangy in fall but clean up quickly.

Although the composition is awkward, simply turning the whole around improves the look a bit.

    Hi Don – as far as I can tell, it’s working well. I’ve found no discernible difference between it and plain cottonseed meal. If I do notice a difference either way, I’ll be sure to report the results.
