Worms - go out with a shovel and take shovel full samplings. Dig around, and see if there are any worms. You can do this through out your replanting - any time of the year. If you have used a strong herbicide, the soil may not be worm friendly. If…

Not a Mr. but a Ms., - the reason I had thought you would not have worms is that the herbicide may have killed them as it killed the unwanted vegetation there. You may not have that issue at all. Freddy right, this will be a major undertaking and…

Char, there's a lot you can do in zone 7. Look at my back yard album. Have you considered reestablishing your yard in stages, temporary borders and trails, concentrate on one block at a time, mulch the others or plant ground cover.…

Not having worms to aerate the soil is where the compaction should come from. It is a hmmm, on the straw damaging the new grass seedlings. I always use Scott grass seed. Why? They don't bilk you with rye grass, you get what you pay for with…

Yeah, sure, the one I like to recommend is manure, horse or cattle. The nutrients in it and the straw are a win win. Straw is 99% nitrogen and the manure with the ammonia and etc. will feed the soil as it the other chemicals work on it. The straw…

Forgot where you are; are you wanting warm season or cool season grass. Consider a couple of spaced paver walking paths randomly through your yard so you can control weed while the grass takes control, without wearing paths into your…

I need help. Last year I killed all of my grass because it was all knuckle grass.

Today I scrapped off all the dead grass, however, there are still some roots left of the knuckle grass. Purchased Scott's crab grass killer. It says you can not plant grass for 4 months, that is…

HI Everyone,

I have been away for a very long time. I have missed my garden and my garden friends.

The Terror in the pond (the crane) gave up. I took the electric fence down, it WAS ONLY BATTERY powered, would NOT kill the crane.... I have big trees around my pond and the crane is eating sushi somewhere else.

Now with all the leaves falling they… Continue

Need to move trees and plant stuff.....

DOES anyone know if squirrels tear up your house if you leave town and one or two of them is left in the attic? HOPE they are… Continue
