    How Tap Water affects Soil Microbes - CSU - Dude Grows 
    I'm not sure how most of the discussion on the two preceding pages have anything to do with the OP's question, perhaps better taken to this thread instead.

    My posts are to help to prepare and improve the soil in the garden for the plants.  It is like Duh obvious to any real person with a brain and honest motives.

    It is not a third party with ulterior motives to define what someone else want or needs.

    I have to work now.

    and it is 'like Duh obvious to any real person' how a forum works  - people ask a question and we use our knowledge and experience to try and answer it, hence @Loxley's very helpful link.  :)
    No one has ulterior motives, and most people are not defining what someone else needs or wants either - they're answering a query.
    It's really terribly, terribly simple   :)

    Please, please, please, someone do something to get rid of this cretin. I know we shouldn't bait trolls, but I have been here a long time and I have never come across someone who talks quite as much nonsense on so many subjects and who can be quite so rude when people try to correct them.

    IT IS DOING MY HEAD IN.

    Calm down, punkdoc! Can’t be good for you. 
    Shame there isn’t a dislike button as well as a like one....although there may not be room on the page for all the thumbs downs.
  • Hello Stacey Rose, you expressed a desire for some grasses. Previous replies were spot on about them liking sunnier positions than you seem to have. But you can flout convention to a degree, carex was suggested but there are a variety of sedges that will  give the same effect (frosted curls, red hook sedge and black mondo will give some nice contrast) and even some "real" grasses. I find that pony tail does well at the top of our garden where there is plenty of shade from the trees, despite what the accepted wisdom says. Good luck, remember to take some photos to chart your progress.

    I particularly LOVE the climbing hydrageneas which have an RHS garden award and a PERFECT FOR POLLINATORS RHS badge.

    I have 2 growing in containers in a sunny spot which I will put in the ground in that shady corner behind the garages under the big tree next spring.  They will climb the garage wall.
