Host Walter Reeves checks out research results in the next
"Gardening in
Georgia" Sept. 13 and 16 on Georgia Public Television.
Reeves revisits Tim Smalley at
the University of Georgia in Athens to find out how the flowers
fared in his experimental
plots. Smalley is managing a research project investigating how
various soil amendments
affect plant growth. His conclusion? You’re very lucky if you
live near a chicken farm!

In another segment, Reeves will show that fertilizer isn’t the
only thing important for
plant health. He explains why it’s time to lime now. Finally,
Shirley Hubbard of Callaway
Gardens shares her favorite ornamental grasses. These gorgeous
grasses are
drought-tolerant and beautiful to boot.
