Comments (27)I see no reason not to use stump grindings. Here's a load of 16 cu yds. delivered to me for free. I am a happy camper! It will take a while to use it all up, especially now that I'm dealing with ice storm damage. I really like the dark color. So far, no weeds have popped up and I have had it since last summer. If I do get a few weeds I can always top dress it with clean chips. The tree guy parks his truck and chipper here between jobs. His homeowners association won't allow him to park his truck and chipper in his driveway or in front of his house. Mike Mike...See MoreHelp with evergreen groundcover

Comments (16)where are you???? i ruled out asia.. since its not in new england ... but NE is rather large diverse area ... big city name .... welcome to the forums ... first off.. just because you are cold... it matters not to the plants ... as gal noted.. they are well suited to your area ... also keep in mind.. you bought late season bargain plants from bigbox .... they may.. OR MAY NOT .... have trouble next year.. and odds are.. it will have nothing with what you just did ... so just stop having a heart attack about it all ... i suggest that you plant the rest... imo... they would have better odds in mother eaarth.. than in your breezeway ... cold hard winter winds are one of the worst problems ... and buried under snow.. migtht be the best you can do ... if you watered them in PROPERLY at planting.. a good deep soaking .... i simply dont know why they would need anymore water before next may or june ... there simply isnt any heat.. to make soil moisture evaporate.. so all more water will do.. is potentially drown them ... try not to love them to death ... and no fert this late in fall ... just get the job done.. give yourself a high five on the bargain ... and go relax... ken ps: just shove the little ones in anywhere.. you can permanently plant them in early spring .. no need for perfection .... right now ... a dead veg patch would be brilliant ......See MoreYardvaark
