Who else has tried this?
These prints are kinda tricky to do but this creator makes it look easy!

I tried it a number of years ago, I think we used ferns which turned out well. Another reason to look at leaves differently.

So we bought this house a couple years ago. It’s built on top of an old dairy, and the soil is very dense and clay-like. We’ve killed virtually every plant we’ve attempted to grow on purpose outside of pots or raised beds. My bright idea was to just “let it grow” and see what roots itself. That way we can transplant the pretty stuff into our landscaping and work with nature instead of against it. All that to say my backyard looks like a scene from Jumanji, BUT I’ve found some pretty cool plants and a little friend. 1. I believe is Burclover? It’s low to the ground like a ground cover. Very cute and I’m reading that it’s possibly edible. 2. Fleabane? If so, I’m expecting cute flowers. 3. I love seeing ladybugs. She’ll help keep annoying bugs away from my garden. ♥️

Hi Christina, I've got heavy clay and stony soil too, (UK) anything with long tap roots and nitrogen fixers will help with improving soil. Green manures. Perennial vegetables can cope with bad soil, and aren't as fussy with the soil types. I'm trying Sun chokes again this year in a different spot. Plus I let the "weeds" ( I don't like calling them weeds!) do their own thing and only remove them if necessary. Seeds and smaller plants I want to grow have to stay in pots until they can cope a bit better with the soil here too.

@Christina Suveges I planted clover last year, hopefully it has survived the winter. Didn't see much of it last week, but to be honest I was looking at the state of the fruit trees. :) Phacelia did well one year, then nothing the second . we will keep on trying :)

Hi, I'm Su I live in the north of the UK, so there will be many plants which those of you living in the USA will have I will never see in the wild and vice versa. Hoping to learn and share experiences. Its early spring here, buds just starting to open. Yesterday, we (husband gets involved too!) went on a long walk in heavy rain to get to some young wild garlic, and also found sufficient wild primrose to pick 3 flowers to make into a tea. The primrose tea didn't have much of a taste at all but was very astringent. Going to get some gluten free flour today and hopefully make some garlic scones later.
