Post #2690668

Hello, dear fellow gardeners. I would like to plant a couple of things in my son's side yard. It would be under overgrown ligustrums (in neighbor's yard). Last year I pulled out a ton of Virginia creepers and some more weeds (he had just moved in). I don't know what soil he has, but being on James Island I guess it would be quiet sandy???

So, my question no. 1 is: how should I amend the soil (BTW, there used to be an outside dog thee for several years)
Question no 2. What would you think of a Clethra and/or Sarcococca? There is a lot of shade, but some sun there.

I won't have much time there, so I would like something that I can find in a nursery there, is easy to plant and also that is low maintenance (for him), and will fairly soon cover a nice area.

Any ideas? (I know you do!!!)
