Lime before aerating before seeding?
Comments (1)i'd suggest a soil test before adding lime. you may not need it. its primary function is to raise the PH of the soil. anything in the 6. to 7.5 range is fine for turfgrasses. some like a little more or less than others but in that range just about anything will grow. i wouldnt want fresh lime down the same time i planted seed. as far as doing a core aeration... throw the seed out and do a pass in each direction with the aerating machine. (assuming this is just an overseeding and not a full blown lawn rennovation) if you do need lime, or pelletized sulphur if your soil is alkaline, i suggest waiting till it starts going dormant in the fall. give the stuff all winter to get watered down into the soil and reap the benefits next growing season....See Moreif lifting Dahlia before the frost, let them dry/ wilt before?
Comments (1)Lin, I often bring mine in before the frost. It really doesn't matter whether you water or not, because you will be cleaning them off, dusting them with a fungicide / bulb dust, letting them dry on the surface, and then storing them in a way that you like. I have some with powdery mildew this fall also. That will all be cut off and discarded. Hope that helps. John...See MoreBefore and After...23 years After that is...
Comments (10)You guys are so nice! Many thanks! Joyce, Therese and I will be using the Florida room next year...and we look forward to it. The area is not heated and the days have gotten colder lately. We have laid down on the 2 lounge chairs which we got as a gift from my family and friends. Janice, the flooring is made of ceramic tiles which I have laid with my son Marc. Jill, I'm doing just fine. I have adjusted to my new lifestyle. Inasmuch as I do not like to inject myself each day with Lovenox, nevertheless I got used to it...and this is part of my daily routine now. I dont feel sick, I eat well, somethimes my bones ache but nothing serious that I cannot endure. I keep busy, and take life one day at a time...Who knows?...I may live many years yet! Mary, you remember well. I have transplanted my best looking hostas on one side of the concrete steps, so Therese and I will have a perfect view next summer. Carol, we went to see my brother Mau in Montreal...and when we got there...surprise...all members of our families and friends were there to celebrate our 50th. It was a wonderful gathering! Thanks for your toast.... Papou...See MoreBefore and after - fireplace
Comments (21)Thanks, everyone! Moxie, no stencil. I primed it with Kilz, painted the cream color (which is the cream I use on all my trim, mouldings), and then using a level, a yardstick and a pencil, made the markings. I googled how to do the harlequin design - the math in that was the most difficult part! My husband helped me to hold the level as the fireplace is as wide as I am tall! I used a foam brush (the ones with the straight edge, not sure what their intended purpose is) and then did some touchups with a small, flat artist brush for the tan color. Measuring and marking was absolutely the hardest part. The rest was surprisingly simple....See MoreSusan W
