I hate my maple. What kind and how old does it look?
Comments (13)Thank you everyone for your response! I should mention that I don't actually HATE the maple, I just hate that it is so darn big in that area. I was hoping a maple enthusiast would agree that the maple is too big for the area. I would love to plant hastas under it but I get very hot direct late afternoon sunlight. I would like to plant something under it but I need to crawl under it to prune it so I'm not sure what to do. I guess just trial and error. I do think it looks much more interesting now. I'm just wondering what other type of vegetation would look good with it and go with the maple in size. I know I took alot off but I had to. I have to remove some of the branches that are hanging too low to the ground as well. It's my understanding that the top of a maple should drape over but not cover the trunk and some of those low branches extend to the middle of the trunk. Thanks again!...See MoreI HATE Squirrels!

Comments (17)Why not repel them? Blend 2 eggs and a cup or two of cold water at high speed. Add this mixture to a gallon of water and let it stand for 24 hours. After 24 hours, spray on foliage. The egg mixture does not wash off easily, but re-application 2-3 times a season may be needed. For a larger quantity, blend a dozen eggs into 5 gallons of water. This mix is also said to repel rabbits and deer. For added protection, add a dash of garlic and cayenne pepper powder. Human hair (ask a barber or beauty salon for some) and yes, human urine, also works. YMMV, Mike...See MoreI hate it!! Hate!! Hate! I want my old page back!!
Comments (9)I believe I had IE, but not sure which version. Now, I am not sure WHAT one is up! Right now there are 3 searches running- there are 3 'file card tabs' at the top of the page. Two of them have a small red/green/blue/yellow flag icon, the third has the 'Gardenweb' icon- the page that I am on now. Walnut.. I did not download anything that I am aware of.. If I move my curser to the top nothing happens- there is a 'wrench' on the far right, but when I click on it, it opens a list that has 'Google Chrome' near the bottom, yet the icon on the far left of the page (this page), is the 'Yahoo' icon. I don't even have a way to open my 'favorites' now. Did IE7 have favorites/back/forward arrows, file/edit/view/tools/help in the upper left hand corner?? I am wondering if I am in 'Google Chrome' or IE9 by some chance? How do I check which browser I am set to go to auto? Tx...See MoreMy old house wiring doesn't have a ground wire. What to do?
