Rhizomes are not terribly picky. Be sure there is adequete drainage as standing water will rot the roots. The pH of the soil should be between 5.5 and 8.0 (our organic gardening store sells test kits: www.midwesthydroponics.com)

It is personal choice really? The root system of the understock is certainly adequate to support the growth of its host. However, in very extreme cold conditions not usually experienced in Australia plants are planted with their graft below the surface so as the grafted plant may self root and re-shoot from the submerged crown if frost bite or freezing occurs. It is not recommended for those roses that have a stoloniferis habit sucker easily. (Gallica's, Rugosa and some Species roses etc. See similar questions...

Skip MNZ4 - You have 8 inches of good soil in Zone 5 so I would think you could plant the bulbs at 6, maybe 7, inches. The problem is not that tulips won't do well in clay but it's that the clay underlayment acts as a barrier to good drainage and if you have really wet conditions this may, indeed, lead to rotting of the bulbs. The Hyacinths can go in at the same depth as the tulips while the Muscari can go in at 5 inches. See similar questions...

You can mix Plant Gel with soil for any application. From planter boxes to tilling into the ground for grass and gardens. Vegetables grow very well with Plant Gel also. You can add Plant Gel to the soil before you plant by simply mixing it in. If you have plants that are already in the ground or pots and you do not want to transplant them, just poke 5 to 6 holes around the stem and put dry crystals in the holes. Cover the holes with soil and water heavy the first time. See similar questions...

No. A report issued by the India's National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) in 1997 found soil contamination within the factory premises at three major areas that had been used as chemical disposal and treatment areas. However, the study found no evidence of groundwater contamination outside the plant and concluded that local water-wells were not affected by plant disposal activities. See similar questions...

Lime is any substance with the capability of neutralizing soil acidity. Most soils contain appreciable amounts of acidic components (hydrogen H+ and aluminum Al+++) that can be toxic to plants. Indeed, lime is the "anti-acid" for soils. No soil amendment provides as many benefits as lime. Lime raises soil pH, providing a more favorable environment for microorganisms. Dolomitic lime provides the major portion of calcium and magnesium required for plant growth. See similar questions...
