I live in a single home with lots of trees on the property. I'm looking to plant something under a few very tall trees. Mainly for privacy, I want to block the veiw of my neighbors house. I was thinking something like a hedge, fire bush, or some sort of evergreen but they all say they need full sun, but I also want something that grows somewhat fast. I can deal with leaves falling off in the winter but I'm not looking to get anything like a butterfly bush, they are to thin. If I was to plant hedges in a shady area, what would happen? Would they thake forever to grow or ust dye? Any suuggestions would be great

I would like to grow mushrooms in my home for a reasonable price (read that as cheap). Lots of places sell the mushroom kits that you can use to grow in the home, but they are not cheap when you consider the return in relation to the "Kit" price! What I would like to know is what do the kit's consist of for growing say Shiitake mushrooms? I know they use "Spawn" (basically cheap, bought easily), a bag or something and the growing media that the mushrooms grow on. That is what I need to know, what is this Media that they grow on? All information would be appreciated very much. I have contacted several mushroom outlets asking them this question but they don't seem to want to answer, other than to tell me to buy a kit!
