I need serious weed help please. I don't know what to do.
Comments (3)I saw your pix on the lawn forum. I tried something this year that worked for some of my weeds. It is a three part process so it might not work for a large lawn, but here it is. I had oxalis in full shade. 1. Sprayed with soapy sugary water as a sticking agent. 1 tsp of dish soap and 2 ounces of molasses to a quart of water. 2. Dusted the wet leaves with baking soda and allowed it to dry. Load a sock with baking soda and tap the side to let the dust fall out onto the weed. It does no damage to the sock so you can use any sock. 3. Sprayed with strong vinegar. Even in full shade the oxalis melted away. Here are the pictures. My apologies for the picture quality. I set up the tripod and did not realize how bad they would look until it was done. The target weed is on the left side of the tree trunk. In the first one I had done steps 1 and 2 the previous day with no ill effect. Second one was taken immediately after spraying with vinegar. You can see the foaming on the leaves. Third was taken after 5 minutes. You can see the yellow flower petals wilting a little. The rest of the leaves were doing the same but you can't really tell. Fourth was taken at 30 minutes. Wilt is evident. This one was taken an hour later. The plant has wilted away just like I would expect on a hot, sunny day. Here's the first one again for direct before and after comparison. Again, this was in full shade (north side of tree) on a day in the high 60s....See MoreWhat do I need to know to be successful if I take a booth
Comments (26)Bumping so allison will see this, with any luck... Sorry, been gone all day. I shop the vintage or handmade section on etsy. I've bought new pottery (jars with lids) for pets I've had cremated. Bet you weren't expecting that one! lol I thought they deserved something nicer than shiny urns that don't "go" with my decor and would be banished to a closet somewhere. Several of antique etchings (architectural and one of a horse), a pair of antelope horns, vintage salt & pepper shakers (don't laugh, only 1 pair after searching locally for something to leave on table), an antique horse harness with brass, a small handcrafted/faux deer head with metal antlers (mounted on wood - I know that one sounds weird, but it is in DS guest room and really cute 12" tall.) Okay, here's the photo from etsy...I cleaned off all the dust after it arrived. Why they hadn't before they took picture, I do not know: Also a ceramic plate (new), an old inlaid box with an dog on the top (embossed), and some old pieces of horse tack/bridle brass to group together/frame. Will go with horse etching from etsy and one I bought locally, and the harness in the laundry room. We live in a horse community and I grew up owning horses, so it's fitting. I have other things in my favorites - like transferware (old) and some pillows (new, handmade). Patty cakes, the antique store I'm referring to has mostly bars of French soaps, small candles, etc. Most of these dealers go to Atlanta market and buy this type of thing from what I overheard. fwiw, I don't buy the soap, candles either but in a pinch, I may be tempted if I needed a gift. jackie, yes. I'm talking about Hanna's. My children are 22/DD2, 24/DS and 26/DD1. When I wasn't having a #4, we got a Miniature Schnauzer and I named her Hanna. If DS had been a girl, DD2 would have been Hanna....See MoreKitchen Sink - what do I need to know?
Comments (2)DeeV78: I've got a "D" style single bowl Karran Edge that my wife and I are very pleased with. C-Tech makes a great sink. Don't fall for the "free sink" promotion used by many fabricators. They buy cheap Chinese sinks by the palate load. I can't imagine getting a decent sink for less than $250.00....See MoreWhat do I do? I need advice from people who know lawns!
Comments (7)On the back of the bag of the turf builder, it said to do it once a week for 4 weeks. And it shows what the grass should be doing in each week. I got to application 3 and everything was fine. I stopped it there because then the heat came and turned everything yellow. In the picture, i applied turf builder to that area. It was great until it turned 90 and above for the weekend and it all turned yellow except for that one really green edge. I applied it there because the rest of that grass belongs to my neighbor. The watering schedule is sun, tues, and thursday at 6am for 10 minutes. The sprinklers are set up to cover the whole area that is my yard in the frpnt and back, so I can get an inch of water with those in 10 minutes. According to the landscaping company. But that just started this past sunday. A month ago i would do a spray with the hose every other day. I dont know how much i watered, but i would skip a few days after a rainy day. Maybe I watered too much. (-.-) The HOA landscapers are not optional for my neighborhood sadly. So i cannot control the mowing aspect of my lawn care, but I can control the water system and everything else....See Morecat_mom
