Bent Japanese Maple (Emperor One). Can I dig out after one year?
Comments (3)Hi Dsqx, big transplant I would vote against trying to tilt this tree. If you must think of it as lifting up one end and shoving more dirt in on that side. No need to torture your back and your father's back again. Man, you two planted a 13' tall tree! Reasons against: -It is a tree, and a Japanese maple at that. It just is not going to grow straight as an arrow and Japanese maples have a bit of a unique form anyway. -As you noticed with all the damage last year, Emperor I and all JM's I know are only marginal in zone 5. Transplanting and digging up before winter stresses them further. I wonder if early spring would be better if you decide to do this. Maybe the high res picture will convince me otherwise. Maybe I am just sorta a hippie with a less formal landscape lol. Either way, good luck and I am impressed with the work you must have done planting it!...See Moreone year after laying cardboard!
Comments (30)I wouldn't use anything like Roundup if you have children, grand kids, pets or neighbors. The chemical glyphosate used in Roundup is considered a carcinogen by the World Health Organization. The United States protects corporate interests not the people so don't count on the FDA or any other agency to keep you safe. At the end of the day people will say "Oh its totally safe" and also "it will kill us all." Personally, I would rather be safe than sorry when my family is involved. I use the barrier method..stack about 10 newspapers on top of each other, weed barrier fabric and beauty bark....See MoreMy reviews one year after construction
Comments (9)Thanks for coming back with a one year update. I found it so frustrating when I was researching appliances to read 90% of the reviews that said "oh, it just got installed last week and I love it!" Honeymoon period= not helpful! I wish everyone would give a one year update and a five year update on appliances! Of course most of the models would change.......See MoreOne year after construction review (great idea, so I'll go next)
Comments (5)I use Bon Ami cleansing powder for *everything*. It's the can with the baby chick and the words, "Hasn't scratched yet." Our house was new in 2000. I love the floor heat, the Ultra Bain air jet tub, the recessed medicine cabinets that look like 'just mirrors on the wall', the dual pedestal sinks with plenty of 'laying room', the 3 X 6 shower w/only a handheld shower head on a rod, the big linen closet. I'm sorry about the three body sprays in the shower that aren't used, the bad tile job by the drunken 'helper' -- and that I 'economized' by not laying the floor tile on the diagonal. (Maybe you get 'cheap' after spending dump trucks full of money for a year!)...See Morelascatx
