It's almost eerie that we treat our gardens so similarly. The gardens furthest from the compost get the least and those closest to the garage (source of packaged products) get the liquid foods, Epsom Salt, alfalfa, etc.

Our long rear garden never gets compost (unless I'm planting something new) and never gets food.

I've moved these 'Purple Lance' astilbes since this photo was taken but they loved this spot since they got manure and compost because there are all clematises along the fence behind this area. They were about 3.5' tall.
