I will be speaking at the Toronto Botanical Garden on April 15th at 7pm. Check out my calendar for contact information. It would be great to meet you there. Have you ever tested your compost for organic matter and nutrient content? It would be interesting for you to see how it stacks up to the commercial products. I always love to advocate homemade compost but they are not all created "equal". Perhaps we will meet sson. Cheers, Tracy Ps I used to live in Montreal and loved being in Canada!!!

Thank you for your invitation to attend one of your presentations. Do you come to our area as well? Love your book "Well-Tended Perennial Garden". You have almost the same weather conditions in your area. It was easier for me to follow your advise for planting my perennial garden. I have one question. We have heavy clay soil in Toronto/Ontario; do you recommend adding commercially available triple mix soil? Or will be home made compost from the kitchen and leafs be enough? Best regards Gisela Tracy,

It's still packed in a moving box somewhere. Darn! It's such a fabulous book and I really need it now. I'll do some in-depth hunting this weekend.

Thank you for writing. You may also like the piece I did on "Lessons from Italian Gardens". My husband and I visited Villa La Pietra and Villa Gamberaia after racing Duathlon Worlds in Rimini last September. Italy is an inspiration at every level.
