Before-and-after of a new garden.
Joe Koller shared some photos from his garden in early decline , including wonderful before - and - after pellet of a fresh garden . He says that this surface area was always a problem due to impenetrable clay , but with band of soil amendment and new plant life , he ’s transformed it into a beautiful show . The field is only 150 square ft , so he knows some of the plant will eventually have to be relocate , but his dull planting sure as shooting makes a huge impact right now !
