About Bakerplanter
Expertise
My mother gave me a geranium to put in my own pot, now years later, I`m a Master gardener,with my own landscaping business. I don`t like putting my tender plants in the 10 acres of rocky-clay where I live, so I garden in a million containers of every size, on a large Plexaglass covered deck, in a greenhouse, and a solarium. I`m full of advise and eager to help you. I have a huge library of gardening books, and I use GOOGLE search to find many answers to more difficult questions.

Experience
I have graduated from four horticultural schools. I am still studying. I study soils, fertilizers, and water management. I am still doing experiments. I also have learned to "read" my plants to determine if they need attention. I have some very old, healthy plants in very large containers. I have owned my Landscaping business for ten years.

Organizations
Master Gardeners, local garden club, National Home garden club, Northwest garden club, Landscapers Ass., Arbor Day Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, National Audubon Society, and Many internet garden sites.

I believe figs like lime, which is not mentioned here. I used to get good results with an applicaton of lime around the perimeter of the tree in the late fall so that in the spring it would be available to the root system. My soil was fertil and I rarely needed to fertilze. Planting on the South side of a solid fence or building protected them from severe cold usually. Jim Richmond
