Nzoner's Game Room>***Official gardening, landscape and yardwork thread***
lewdog 11:06 AM 03-11-2017
We had a 2014 gardening thread and another planting trees thread. Figured it would be better just to have a general thread to share knowledge about all things yards.

I've learned stuff about growing things here in the desert from people all around the country. Post pictures and share your knowledge!

Anyone in the KC area mix their own garden bed soil? I haven't been able to find good places for compost and vermiculite other than small bags of vermiculate and the one yellow bag of cow manure compost that would work, but I'd like to find some other sorts of compost to mix with it.

I'm doing a big new raised bed and am needing to get a lot of soil to finish getting it up to the soil level I want, and don't want to spend a fortune on the bagged garden soil.

They fogged and seal coated our road last summer. Now, most of the chips seem to be in my yard-thanks to the snow plow.

What is the best way of picking them up and removing them?
I know I will not get them all, but want to prevent more from moving into the yard when I mow.

Could not find anything online. Still looking.

I did not realize how pricey they are but a friend of mine used one of these to get the gravel out the grass from his driveway after winter plow jobs.

You might be able to rent one. He had a small one like above for some spots and a big one for his Bobcat.

I doubt your lawn sweeper would pick up what you need picked up.

So the next question is...

Look up hugelkultur raised garden bed. Is an awesome way to garden organically.

Second this. I actually was unaware of the name for it, but the technique is something I learned a few years ago. It works great and minimizes costs.

In hindsight it seems obvious but learned the lesson that I have to dial back my drip system schedule during the winter months.

Had to replace 4 Red Yuccas but everything else I should be able to save.

Also looking into doing a waterless cactus garden along the path to my backyard.

I spent 9 1/2 hours over two days several weeks back getting all the fucking weeds out of the rocks on my lawn.

I will invest in 75% vinegar concentrate next as I know that works to kill the weeds AND the roots. 1 gallon of vinegar + 1 gallon of hot water in a 2 gallon pump sprayer will take care of a lot. Probably need 5-6 gallons of vinegar.
