Host Walter Reeves checks out research results in the next "Gardening in Georgia" Sept. 13 and 16 on Georgia Public Television. Reeves revisits Tim Smalley at the University of Georgia in Athens to find out how the flowers fared in his experimental plots. Smalley is managing a research project investigating how various soil amendments affect plant growth. His conclusion? You're very lucky if you live near a chicken farm!

In another segment, Reeves will show that fertilizer isn't the only thing important for plant health. He explains why it's time to lime now. Finally, Shirley Hubbard of Callaway Gardens shares her favorite ornamental grasses. These gorgeous grasses are drought-tolerant and beautiful to boot.
