Typwc, I was at a Garden Tour in Carlise City, They built up woodland like soil by doing a lasagna bed. Layers of cardboard, news paper and leaves. Maybe some compost, too. Lots of layers on top of layers till they had some really nice ground. Their project took a couple of years to complete and they did have shade trees. Not quite like your yard but maybe you could work on a small spot.
I am planing on adding a few more ferns, bleeding heat, astilbe, Corydalis lutea, and that new plant I got from Happy.
Happy what was the name of that plant Eph????
I have two of these beds on either side of the parking area, haven't cleaned the other side yet. It is a really mess thanks to Ric and his snow plowing, there are driveway stones just piled into it. He did say that he would clean that bed, going to take a bit of time down on his knees to do it right so I might just step in and find something else for him to do. LOL
