Sod Disposal in Los Angeles area
Comments (2)Well in my state sending it to the landfill is just about all you can do with it unless you can find someone who needs the dirt regardless of the grass. Not very many places will take cut up sod because of the potential for sickness in the dirt/grass. I mean there is a reason you removed it in the 1st place....See Morelooking for larger size perlite in Los Angeles area
Comments (3)I buy large Perlite or Sponge Rock on line or at plant shows. Since you live in California, I would try nursery's which sell orchids. Otherwise, buy on line. It is light weight and the postage shouldn't be bad. If you have a local orchid society, find out when they meet and show up at one of the meetings. You don't need to be a member and can buy from the vendors. I always recommend to people that orchid society meetings are the best place to buy wood chips and perlite. They sell in bulk amounts. Much cheaper. Again, you don't have to be a member or join the Club. Jane...See MoreGrass for planting in Grasscrete driveway, Los Angeles Area
Comments (11)We are on year 5 of our grasscrete driveway in the mid Atlantic area (zone 7A) and have areas with full sun and some in shade. We have tried a number of different grasses and buffalo grass is pretty good and draught tolerant once established but we are currently trying elfin thyme in places with the most sun. It is a PITA with all the weeding. Hoping the thyme is the ticket to less/no weeding eventually. (Hey, I can dream....)...See MoreInstalling St. Augustine sod in Los Angeles area in Sept/Oct?
Comments (15)The rototiller is the worst. What he did is so much better, but still likely not needed. Two weeks ago I put down 90 pieces of St Aug sod on top of bare, unprepared soil. It's taking very well. In my lazy approach, I watered 1x per day, but I did it every day. Then my wife helped out with a soaker hose. I gotta say, the soaker worked great. It was on a low trickle from the faucet - maybe 2 cups per minute. The next day there was a mushroom and some weeds are coming up, so it's plenty wet. So for St Aug sod, maybe 3x per day is a lot. Just never let the soil become soggy. If you're doing it right you should feel good about walking on it without sinking in. Good luck with that and thanks for the name of your vendor. Someone else from Hawthorne was asking. Here's a pic of some of the 90 square feet. This is about 50 square feet. It goes from the line of plants to the left up to the dog. The sod adds an inch to the soil height, and I did not want to raise the level by the fence, so I'm planning to let the sod creep out to the fence. That won't take long, but it will be next spring....See MoreNil13 usda:10a sunset:21 LA,CA (Mount Wash.)
