Help! my raised beds are full of tiny root systems and it is making it very hard to rake out. I thought once I read that lime or somthing broke these down. Is this true, how do get rid of these?

I, too, am interested in help resolving the problems of Az gardening. Everything goes so well until the 114 degrees of summer arrive and then we talk to our plants, water them, try to give enough shade etc. etc. and no matter what, we lose some every year. I want to buy things from the nurseries on line as they offer so many choices and they say the items are for zone 9 but somehow I don’t feel that they really understand our soil and sun problems.

Producing fast shade protection is a help, but not easy to do as even the more indigenous plants are fighting so hard to become established.

I’m just happy to be able to refer to the Farmers Almanac online. My parents never planted anything in their garden without referring to the Almanac. It is very informative, and interesting. Thank you for making it available.
