Can I Transplant Ferns or What Can I do?
Comments (3)Definitely looks like a Cyathea, and most probably cooperi. They're not as easy to transplant as a Dicksonia, but it can be done. Better during a wetter more humid time of year. Need to trim the fronds off and keep well watered during and after the process. Don't put it into direct sun, especially afternoon. Make sure the new position is well drained and protected from dry winds....See MoreWhat is doing this? And what can I do?
Comments (4)Hi again, I'm sorry no one has come up with an answer. I think it is something fungal also, because of how the leaves get worse and all brown. Bugs can make swiss cheese of leaves, but the leaves don't seem to curl up and die. But I don't know what exact disease is attacking your plants. I even searched for buddleia diseases and pests and came up empty. Do you have a cooperative extension service, like how I have Cornell here, or a very good nursery near you? I would take samples in sealed plastic bags to be examined. I hope you find an answer, Remy...See MoreWhat can I do to this wall for decoration? Can't paint the wood
Comments (17)Thank you for all the suggestions! This is amazing. I actually just got rid of a light blue suede couch that i've had for years (it looked great) but we switched it out because we have 2 small kiddos. It was a mess within a year. Embarrassed to say, but this couch is new to us =) Hindsight, i wouldn't have bought brown...lol. @Maureen thank you. I think a bookshelf may also work in that space and love your suggestions as well. Off to Winners I go.. I love the idea of fabric, thank you @freedomplace1 something I didn't even consider. I have a whole house of pine paneling so I'm going to try this in one of our other rooms. @ShadyWillowFarm acreage house from the 70's. Working on slowly updating but can't afford a full reno right now and husband has something against painting wood.. here is the other side of the room.. TV will be mounted on the fireplace with a mantel soon. @bever tteder @Irene Morresey I've been on the hunt for a great large canvas/art for about a year but can't seem to find anything that I love. Would you hang it center of the couch or center of the wall?...See MoreI haven't improved my soil in too long. What can I do for this season?
Comments (3)For the areas around/under the trees, it sounds to me like you're already doing the basics. Those areas will tend to dry and dense anyway. Adding more leaves is good, if you want to add more in bulk, wood chips (which you may be able to get free or for cost of delivery). I sometimes spread some cheap seeds around for some variety under there. If the trees are healthy, some forking or modest digging won't likely harm them (but may not be necessary either) - just don't hack dozens of substantial roots all at once. For ground around trees that's particularly dense or dry - a big pile of leaves or compost for a season or two (or longer), and the ground underneath will become much more soft and loose. I would say don't bother with anything expensive or try to bring in worm compost, for example - leave some/more leaves and wood chips and the like and let the local worms do the work. None of this should require particularly hard work, just spreading some volume of cheap organic materials....See Morekaren64
