PLANTING / SOIL PREPARATION
Working in Lane county
for over two decades, we have developed a real strength:
“right plant, right place”.
We have learned from experience which plants will thrive in different settings
with challenges such as poor drainage, clay soil, and deer browsing.
We love to get creative with plants, but they have to be correct for the site.
Over the years we have increased our use of native
, edible
and
drought-tolerant plants
, but also enjoy non-invasive exotic species
.
Soil preparation is critical to a successful planting. We add generous amounts of loam
,
compost
, and organic
and mycorrizal fertilizers
.
EarthWorks typically sources plants from local nurseries
.
Our favorites are: Doak Creek Natives and
Armitage.
