Wild Garden. Many people labour under the impression that thewoodland wild garden demands very little, if any, attention on themaintenance end. The maintenance of a woodland wild garden is aproblem, to those who really understand its development and success,of almost as much importance as the maintenance of the more re-fined formal garden. It matters not what the garden may be, eitherthe woodland wild garden or the refined garden, undesirable weeds andgrass will develop if it is not given the necessary attention and cultiva-tion. The wild garden cannot be cultivated as deep or as frequentlyas the refined flower garden. Not only must the owner ward againstthe development of weeds but he must watch carefully to be certainthat those types of plants which are more vigorous growing or whichseem to be best adapted to their particular location do not spread orunnecessarily crowd out certain other desirable plants less vigorous intheir habit of growth and less apt to thrive in the competition to whichthey are subjected. There will be places in the wild garden where soilconditions are not exactly as they should be, and where soil shouldbe renovated or manured and where additional leaf mold soil should beadded. |
