My neice's property is laden with trees, its a wonderland for Hostas. I am supposed to go up there, take my divisions of Hostas and help her get some beds started. I told her to ask her dad to get a tiller so we can work the soil. She dont think a tiller would work, because she has all these rocks in the soil and black clay dirt. Can some one tell me what she is talking about? Is the soil that bad? I dont know what area of Austin, but this picture shows a part of the grounds.
Thanks
