Take samples to your local cooperative extension service and they will identify it for you. Take many samples, like a handful of grass (with roots), from several areas to be sure you are sampling the different types that might be in your mix.

What kind of soil do i have and how should i amend it?
Q

Where in the world you are can be of tremendous assistance to some of us, although my soil is sand while my sisters soil (6 miles west of me) is clay. Usually sand atop a clay base indicates that someone dumped some sand there in an attempt to have a soil kind of easier to cultivate then the clay would be. The clay, under that sand, will keep that sand from draining properly, two different soil types with vastly different drainage capabilities. I would talk with the people at your local office of your state universities Cooperative Extension Service to find out what your soil type shoulld be.

I have mint, how do I tell what kind it is.
Q
Comments (8)
It does look like a mint... but there are mints and there are mints. Catnip is a mint. Horehound is a mint. Gill-Over-the Ground is a mint. Plants in the mint family have a squared stem and have paired opposite leaves, as do your plants. A word of caution? If you plant different mints within reach of each other (10 to 20 feet), you will end up with common or wild mint, which has a mild, indistinguishable minty flavor. Mint propogates by sending out runners across or just beneath the surface of the ground, and will cross with any other mint within reach. I grow Spearmint and Peppermint plants in pots separated by about 12 feet of deck space. If your mint tastes like chewing gum or toothpaste, it COULD be Spearmint. Peppermint does have a bite to it - at least it does to me - and after chewing it for a minute or two tastes like peppermint stick candy. The flowers of Spearmint grow in a spike at the tips of the branches. Whichever you have, in order to maintain the flavor, try to get more of the same type of mint to plant with it. Why not dig up some of the plants and scatter them around the orchard? Have you tried cooking with it? Add it to salads or to Middle-Eastern dishes like Spanikopita or Moussaka, Greek soups or spinach dishes, spinach quiche, etc. You can also add it to your tea or just to boiling water or to lemonade for a refreshing drink that will also lower your body temperature by a few degrees. And be sure to dry some to use during the off-season. Hope that helps! - JB Hope that helps?

Image is too small. However you can apply a per-emergent herbicide such as XL or Amaze mid-Feb., mid-May and mid- September to prevent them germinating in the first place. Here is a link that might be useful: XL

Saved him from a snowstorm last night. He showed up at my door. E-mailed 200 people in my HOA and put up signs but no one has claimed him. He's badly matted so I'm gonna get him groomed. Hope to find his owner, but if despite my efforts no one claims him, he will have a good home here. Also going to take him to my vet Friday to see if he was micro-chipped.

Here adorable!
I see a Maltese in him. If he's larger than the typical Maltese,he may have a mix in him. He could have Lhasa Apso mix.The coat color is very similar to a Maltese.
Fully grown Havanese tend to have little wider faces & larger noses than the Maltese, but you never know...

He showed up at your door? He must have gotten out. I cannot imagine people disposing of a little guy like that. Sometimes people run ads on Craigslist. I would check there. Good luck & let us know what happens.

I would also check with local animal shelter and the local police to see if anyone has reported a lost dog there.

He looks like he's part Chinese Crested, like the dog in "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days".

Well, the owners did come and get him. So the dog is back at his rightful home.

So happy you posted an update and this had a happy ending.

I'm sure his owners were VERY thankful that you took him in! :)
