Best to grow same prune group together?
Comments (2)In my opinion, type I and II clematis can easily be planted together since both only require minor, if any, pruning. I have Belle of Woking and a macropetala growing together and have had no problems with the combo. The general reason not to plant type II and type III clematis together is that typically you prune type III clematis back in the winter and you don't trim type II clematis back much at all. However, you can plant type II with type III clematis if either of the three following conditions apply to you: 1)you don't mind the arduous task of trying to disentangle the type III clematis from the type II clematis when it is time to do your pruning (not something I would attempt but to some it might not be that big of a deal), 2) you don't want to prune your type III clematis back at all (this will just mean the blooms on your type III clematis will be more at the top of your clematis vines and you might have bare legs at the bottom of the vines), or 3) you prune your type II clematis back much like you do your type III clematis. I have had several type IIs that I pruned back severely like a type III clematis due to the clematis being mislabeled as the wrong type of clematis or due to the fact that my type II clematis had a lot of winter kill and I decided to rejuvenate the vines by the severe cut back procedure. In either case, the type IIs that I have done this to bloomed that very same year albeit somewhat later than if I had not performed the severe cut back....See MoreFlooring store package or piece together at best price ?
Comments (1)The carpet is marked up so much as a cash and carry, the $199 install is just to suck you in. The installers will make what they make. Do you really want the cheapest labor cost?? Think about that for a minute. The cheap guy isn't going to do it exactly like the expensive guy....See MoreKitchen - Need help making sure this works together
Comments (48)I’m not a pro, and I prefer anything other than the all white kitchens that are popular now. I like the look of the dark but my parents black granite shows everything. Every fingerprint, every water ring from a glass. My mom is constantly cleaning it. She wishes she had known and made a different choice. Just wanted to share. Maybe find something medium tone..grey/beige? I would try for something not black and not white. Good luck!...See MoreBest DIY wood flooring? - Engineered hardwood click together
Comments (4)I'm not a fan of click together engineered hardwood. This is not something I would recommend - especially in an uncontrolled environment like a cabin. The click edge is the part that holds everything together. It turns out a plied wood click edge doesn't have a lot of holding power. In fact it down right fails 99% of the time. This is why you are having a hard time finding a plied wood centre. The fibre board is much stronger for a click edge. That's why it has been used for decades with laminate...and some who wish to use hardwood on top. I don't recommend that one...but it's your choice. Hardwood has a very specific way it expands/contracts. It does this across the grain. This is VERY different from the fibre board. Fibre board moves in all 6 directions (yep...6). The more swings you have in humidity and temperature the greater the movement the wood is going to do. And the fibre board will also be moving but in several OTHER directions as well. Oh dear. Now imagine a home that is NOT climate controlled. A cabin for instance. Imagine the wood and fibre board are happy with each other at 20 C and 40% humidity. Now winter comes and we have -10 C and 15% humidity. And then summer comes again and now we are at 35 C and 65% humidity. It is highly possible your wood surface will have peeled off of your fibre board centre. The wood moved in a different way than the fibre board and they tore themselves apart. With your price point, you are better off getting a very narrow plank hardwood (2" or so) and have it laid and then site finished. You will still pay around $4/sf for the wood and $3.50/sf for the sanding/refinish but it will be a floor that lasts. It will still move and twist and shrink and expand. But it will do it in such a way that keeps the floor functional. Or go with an SPC/WPC vinyl core and enjoy your cabin....See More- 3 years agolast modified: 3 years ago
