I don't know if you know about muck. The cane farms around Lake Okeechobee get rid of it all the time. Get about 5 inches of it delivered to your front and have it tilled in. Plant some St. Augustine plugs or sod. You lawn will grow like Jack's beanstalk.I do believe in da three S's: shoot, shovel, shut up!
Dat I could live with!
My back yard (south side) is flippin' awesome with a rich loam component. Da front is sugar sand and looks like Hades during our dry periods.
At least it's not a left/right issue. Just a north/south... oh crap, never mind...
They've got a 30 amp high draw that's great, good reviews. I've got a set that I use in my IPV3.
I lucked onto a set when I first got my Copper Hana. I knew I should have grabbed a few more. Not trusting the ones I see on Amazon to be authentic. Looking for something comparable.
Dat muck is awesome fer grass; fruit & citrus, not so much due to 'heavy metals'!
I'm a retired mailman. There weren't many customers who had St Augustine grass on their lawns in the area of NC where I carried mail, but I loved the feel under my feet. Made me feel like my feet weren't touching the ground, because the stuff is so thick that they weren't!
The hay or straw bale gardening does look interesting, but around here no one bales straw and the hay bales are all the huge round ones. I have looked at getting an old hay bale for mulch, but they're not something that fits in a car, or even a pickup.
This year I'm pretty much just doing some mixed sunflowers in the front, since the birds have dropped a lot of black oil ones. Sunflowers are aleopathic for a lot of other plants, so not much else will grow around the feeders. Then some Mignonette since it's about the only really nice scent plant that can be direct seeded here. (Well, actually, just about anything can be direct seeded - it's getting them to flower or bear before fall that's the trick.
)Then a teeny tiny vegetable garden. I have to have a couple of tomato plants and some cucumbers for salads, even if I'm not doing the huge canning garden I used to. And of course when I go for the tomato plants I'm sure that some flower plants will jump in the box with them to go home with me.
I know what you're saying but, in Florida it's what passes for grass. It's everywhere.
hope it don't take you as long to learn as it did me......Take A Nap!!! You aint sleepin at night even without napping!!! lol Actually, I could be wrong, but I really think that sleeping when I was tired, no matter what time of day it was, for as long as I needed til I woke up, might be what finally got my body to be able to sleep better!! I do still sometimes gets bouts of insomnia, but not nearly as bad as I did. Of course, this is hard to do if you aren't alone.
I've slept on straw bales.......didn't like it, can't imagine doin it every night.
I'm new to gardening...bought my first house about a year ago. I received a present in the mail: Hori Hori Knife (they sell them on amazon, too). WOW! You could filet a fish with this thing it's so sharp. [/QUOTE]
My nephew has been wanting to get one of these. Keeps trying to talk his mom into wanting one, so he can get it for "her" lol
Our worst weeds are brown. Spear grass. It's horrible cuz it grows tall all over and you have to mow even though the grass doesn't need mowing!
Are you comin to Texas???????
Dunno why I didn't look for these on amazon but thanks!!! 3 batt cases for 2.38 with free shipping.
I think RTD does too when you buy them in pairs.
Wow......never woulda believed that if I hadn't seen it! Always thought that was just a joke.
Jeepers you got a big yard! (bells too)
We do it here all da time! Our ground is full of limestone. hmmm maybe that's why it's always sparse and brown. lol hard to grow maters or anything else in dat stuffs too.
looked up that fescue stuff. I think it would work well here......does it kill speargrass???
Matt da grassmaster!!
but in florida, you'll likely have or at some point get some fruit/avocado trees in yur yard. I know I would! SIL is trying to grow a lemon and a lime tree
When I actually sleep for 7 or 8 hours straight, I'm deliriously happy all day. I just can't stop smiling and telling everyone! You must have really needed it.
I remember when my landlord made me cut my lawn. I was so sad. I could count, at least, 15 different kinds of plant in my yard. There were a few kinds of flower. There was a beautiful ivy (or something that looked like ivy) covering the back fence. It was lush and beautifulMikeE3 said:
He did give in and let me leave the ivy and flowers all over and around the back fence.
Nothing kills speargrass. Hell I'm not sure Roundup would. It just drinks it and says "ha.! I laff at you!"
4 am and it's raining like hell. There be no sleeping through this. I've heard quieter hurricanes!
I woke up to a slight beeping sound. Then I looked outside. It is raining. Lots of emergency vehicles. The building across the street is burning. Massive amounts of smoke, and still some flames. Luckily it is not used for anything but storage-- mostly junk last time I looked.
Hearing loss is a mercy.
I didn't realize how much it had progressed.I ignored the beep, since, so far as I have determined, many of the sounds that wake me up have no origin outside of those addled nerves.
I am concerned about the thrift store across the street from there, since all the smoke is flowing that way. They might have some smoke damage to their place.
They finally got a semi to tow away the trailer that was parked in front of it.
