    A photo would help. There are hundreds of different fungi

  • All gardening intervenes with 'natural' growth, but it does beg the question as to what we should expect from our gardens. To fight nature in order to create a received idea of what is 'right' seems mad. But many people feel affronted when it is suggested that they not use chemicals to the extent that they do. They see it as a right to poison their own space, because it is their own and because it is 'bad science' to eschew chemicals.

    Armillaria is not a plague. It exists primarily to recycle nutrients in dead wood, making them more accessible to insects to digest and return to the soil. We should consider this as a way for the garden to recreate it's balance, which may take several years.

    Common parlance for lady parts Hosta - I guess that's also why you're unsure....image
