Years ago, Dr. Edgar T. Wherry devised a classification of soils by degrees of acidity; it is still useful but should be qualified by the fact that many plants spill over into two or more classifications while some are relatively sensitive to pH.

Being a gardener and based in Colorado, it has been stressful for me because this state has been experiencing a severe drought for years. Because of water scarce, the local government imposed prohibition to limit water consumption for plants and lawn. Before any garden problem can be corrected, or plant damage prevented or controlled, it is necessary to know the cause. Sometimes this is very evident, but more often it is not. Even if your back yard is smaller than the smallest room of your house that does not mean that this is not a reason for you to leave it to its destiny, without attempting to perform some magical tricks. The desire for color in the garden is best satisfied by the liberal use of annuals, perennials and bulbs in variety.
