This long-lasting mixture is the perfect medium for long-term plants
with Rita Randolph
Length: 2:50
The Recipe
1 part peat moss1 part composted bark
1 part compost1 part sand
1 part perlite
If the mix clumps together and the compost you use is heavy, add more perlite to ensure good drainage. Use extra compost or bark when growing more mature plants, but don’t make it too rich for young plants—it could damage their delicate roots and stems.

Ornamental grasses can be pretty intimidating to divide, given their size. Just remember that grasses respond best to division in spring and that you'll have the best luck if you use a sharp knife or, even better, a chain saw.
In this video, Fine Gardening assistant editor Daryl Beyers confirms what many fans of ornamental grasses already know: Dividing grasses is not a chore for the faint of heart.

Feeding and Mulching Roses

When roses start making their growth, it's time for maintenance
with Andrew Schulman
Length: 3:29 Produced By: Gary Junken
Choose a fertilizer that is labeled as being especially for roses. It will have the right balance of nitrogen for top growth, phosphorus, which stimulates the bloom, and potassium for root development.
Mulch has many benefits. It helps to prevent competing plants from taking root in the rose's territory; it decreases water evaporation and temperature swings in the soil; and it keeps you from running into the rose with the string trimmer.
Andrew Schulman, Fine Gardening author, landscape designer and old rose collector, shows how just a few steps will ensure the health of your roses and suggests a new use for an old remedy.

Fall Leaves Make a Great Natural Mulch
Fall Leaves Make a Great Natural Mulch - Video
Rake them in the fall, save them until spring, and spread them on your garden beds
with Sydney Eddison
Length: 3:16 Produced By: Gary Junken
Fallen leaves carry 50 to 80 percent of the nutrients a tree extracts from the soil and air, including carbon, potassium, and phosphorus. So why waste them?
A two- to three-inch layer of leaves spread over a garden plot gives several benefits. Leaves hold down weed growth, add organic matter, and protect garden soil from compaction caused by rainfall.
If you save or compost your leaves until spring, says author and gardener Sydney Eddison, then they also add a natural beauty to your garden beds. In this video Sydney shows how she ensures even distribution and cautions against smothering your plants.
Sydney Eddison is the author of several books including The Self-Taught Gardener. Her forthcoming book, to be published in the fall of 2002 by NTC/Contemporary Books, is called The Gardener's Palette: Creating with Color. She gardens in Newtown, Connecticut.

Trim a Hedge with Straight Edges
Trim a Hedge with Straight Edges - Video
For straight sides and a flat top, use stakes and string as a guide
with John Sosnowski
Length: 5:16 Produced By: Gary Junken
The straight edge that is the hallmark of the formal hedge depends most on what you do before you cut. Accurate measurements and well-placed stakes are key when you are trimming hedges.
John Sosnowski, horticulturist at the Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illinois, recommends shearing the hedge in an inverted keystone shape, narrower on the top and wider at the bottom. The 6-inch slope is both attractive and healthy, as it allows all branches to get maximum sunlight. In this video, John demonstrates the procedure of laying out the stakes and string for trimming the boxwoods at the arboretum.
For more on this topic, see John's article "Trimming a Hedge."
