Gardening Success with Difficult Soils: Limestone, Alkaline Clay, and Caliche
by Scott Ogden
This book tells how to have a
beautiful garden on calcareous soils, whether they be dry
and chalky, wet and clayey, or rocky caliche formations.
The book describes hundreds of lime-loving annuals,
perennials, shrubs and trees, with special emphasis on
heat tolerant varieties. Chapters on roses for difficult
soils, plants for shade, plants for attracting wildlife,
and plants that bloom at night are full of ideas and
suggestions for successful gardening on alkaline soils.
