About the Project
This notebook was created to log experimental plantings, soil restoration trials, and seed-raising efforts on a cool-temperate hillside garden. It serves as an unhurried reference for what works in heavy shade and acidic loam.
Every method described here relies on simple cultural practices: composting organic matter, mulching with shredded leaves, and collecting rainwater. Chemical amendments and synthetic fertilizers have been excluded from the outset.
The journal is strictly non-commercial and published for the quiet enjoyment of fellow gardeners, botanists, and plant enthusiasts who appreciate woodland flora.
