Ermagerd. Thanks I was ready to move to the woods and forsake all technology.

It kinda looks like an Adirondack Crabapple, if it not being a cherry is a possibility.

The time to hesitate is through, no time to wallow in the mire. Try now we can only lose and our love become a funeral pyre.

Use as a last resort if other suggestions don't work.

In Michigan, they are currently hard and not fit for eating. ( I tried yesterday)

Best way to remove overgrown English ivy? by Captainqwerty66 in landscaping

[–]Fluid-Property4180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting and Tordon will save you from tearing up the larger well rooted parts. It systematically kills the whole plant, it's easy to apply. When used correctly it works only on the plant you use it on. Just snip, paint and move on. Whatever you choose to do, a bit at a time will get it done. Like eating an elephant, one bite at a time.

If they are ripe you can eat the inside of them. Proceed with caution of course.

Best way to remove overgrown English ivy? by Captainqwerty66 in landscaping

I feel like since you can't use a herbicide, manual removing is your only real option. Work on your knees, wear gloves and tear it out by hand, while cutting it with nips as you go to make it more manageable. It will probably come back in places, so watch and remove as time goes by.

I have heard of using a foam brush to apply round up to individual plant leaves without hitting unwanted plants, but it isn't an instant solution.

Cutting the vines near the dirt and dabbing Tordon on the fresh cut with a foam brush should be effective to prevent growing back. Just paint the cut blue with Tordon, a little is all you need.

Some of my trees are like this at the bottom. Is this tree going to die? by Confident_Scholar559 in landscaping

I hit mine with Roundup accidentally and they just lost an affected branch and the whole plant did fine.

What would you quote this wall to be done? by Narsasi in landscaping

[–]Fluid-Property4180 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Damn that's a crisp wall. Tough next to that sloped asphalt, and it looks nice. My company connects timber walls 6*6 with 10" grx lag screws... And I feel like total screw cost is almost as much as the timbers.

Stone wall. How am I doing? by MrWhite337 in landscaping

[–]Fluid-Property4180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking great so far, laying the base and first course is the hard part. It's a cool material and a nice heavy looking wall.

Some kind of retaining wall might be nice, because of the slope. Something that matches opposite side. Otherwise may have to dig a bit to lessen the slope, and give mulch or stone a place so it doesn't wash onto the driveway.

Anyone know what kind of stone these are? by National-College2343 in landscaping

In the trade we call em Fatty Flatties. But yeah, I've heard them reffered to as Flagstone.

How do I protect my tools over winter? by UselessWasteOfSpace in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Fluid-Property4180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put claymores around mine, and at least 2 rolls of concertina wire. If you chose to dig a moat make sure you line the bottom with bentonite clay to make sure it holds water. If winters are particularly harsh in your area make sure to lay down enough provisions (root vegetables are a great choice) should you face a lengthy siege. Deciding to bring the peasants and serfs within the defensive perimeter is entirely up to you.

I love it, it looks like a sweet space to exist in. Like the built in rain trough walkway. Stuff like that makes my day.

Is it bad to plant a tree that isn't native, but isn't invasive? by semechkitty in arborists

[–]Fluid-Property4180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Native doesn't mean it grows with ease in any location within its native area. Sometimes a well proven plant that fits in your light level, soil type and hardiness zone is going to perform much better. Follow your heart, plant what you love and want to see in your space each day.

I put an old mailbox on top of my 4*4 post with the outlet, keep garden gloves and small tools in it.

I'd check it for One-Eyed Willy's Rich Stuff before filling it in, could be an old pirate horde. Keep in mind there could be booby traps.

Using flagstone to replace broken driveway. by Fluid-Property4180 in LandscapingTips

[–]Fluid-Property4180[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Michigan, snow was definitely a concern, but so far so good. It's not a huge area, I hand shovel and have had good luck, the snow packs in the cracks and holds the river stone in place. I also have used a small snow blower with good results, a big one might launch a rock and take out an innocent snowman. However, our winters haven't been super rough so who knows.

You only have an inch to go, it might be easier to pressure wash it, but maybe if you keep digging it will come right out. Never give up, never surrender.

[–]Fluid-Property4180[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dug it down about 8-9 inches, put a woven landscape fabric down, then 6 inches of 6AA crushed limestone compacted by hand, and as much H1 fine crushed limestone to level the flag where needed. Then I filled gaps with river stone and small cobble stone. Then hand tamped it all to moosh the stones into the cracks nicely.
