A soil amendment that has clay-busting and water-wise properties. It loosens up the soil and holds moisture. Expanded Shale is a sedimentary rock: hardened layers of clay, silt and other minerals, essentially very old mud. When crushed and fired in a rotary kiln at 2,000 degrees fahrenheit, tiny air spaces in the shale expand. The result, expanded or vitrifed shale, it is a lightweight, gray gravel. It’s a second cousin to the better known silicate soil amendments vermiculite and perlite.

A compact-branching evergreen with flat, fan-shaped branchlets of soft, dense, green foliage that develop golden yellow tips in sunny exposures. Foliage turns a rich bronze color as cold winter temperatures approach. A slow growing, easy care shrub with notable sun and wind tolerance, perfect as a landscape specimen, windbreak or privacy screen.

The ‘Asparagus’ fern plant is prized for its feathery foliage and is relatively easy to care for indoors. It thrives in indirect light and a slightly humid environment, and regular misting can help revive this hardy plant when it’s looking a little down.
