Margaret,
I was afraid someone was going to tell me that (to test the ph). That's
one of those things I lump into the "maintenance" category under "things
I hate". I will try to force myself to do it, but don't be suprised if
I don't.
Thanks!

Hi, Alice. Don't feel too bad about ripping out your roses.
Just telll
yourself and others that you wanted to see how other things
grew. Llama
manure should be great, especially applied this fall. I
wouldn't add
anything else but the leaves this fall. It might be a good idea
in spring
to at least test the pH of the soil to make sure it's not
extremely acidic
(below 6.0, for instance). Margaret
