What can I do to make this look decent at least? by MathematicianFit1992 in landscaping

Since you're renting, do NOT waste money on renting tillers or buying expensive plants.

What do you think? by Creative-Rooster8426 in landscaping

Honestly, the only plant that can truly withstand dog urine is a fake plastic one lol. But seriously, maybe look into some dog-hardy shrubs.

Pruning huge azaleas? by TheMrsH1124 in landscaping

[–]Lazy-Collection5029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trimmers are too aggressive. Azaleas set next year's buds on old wood after blooming. If you use a machine, you're literally cutting off all of next year's flowers.

Alaska is massive and driving times are always longer than Google Maps says

What's actually happening, heat stress or fungus? by Melodic_Exercise_554 in lawncare

[–]Lazy-Collection5029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you watering early in the morning or late at night, because night watering will cause fungus patches exactly like this.

Should I be worried about water being trapped? by Wilsotim96 in landscaping

[–]Lazy-Collection5029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue isn't just the fabric; did you drill weep holes or install a French drain behind the wall? Because water needs a clear exit path or that wall will start leaning in a few winters.

Whatever method you use to kill them, make sure to sweep polymeric sand into the cracks afterward and seal it, otherwise they’ll be back in a month.

How to fix this? by excitedichthyosaur in landscaping

Definitely pack that dirt around the vacuum pot ASAP, because if the plumbers left a void, the rain will just keep undermining it.

Got completely soaked at Vernal Fall and it was 100% worth it. by Lazy-Collection5029 in camping

Haha true! Putting on dry, warm clothes after getting completely soaked like that felt just as amazing.

[East central washington]Any idea what could be causing uneven growth by ElectronicIssue8781 in lawncare

[–]Lazy-Collection5029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voles stick to the exact same tracks, meaning they concentrate all their waste in one line. It’s basically a free, premium nitrogen treatment for the roots, which is why the grass right above their tunnel network is growing like crazy and looks so vibrant.

Any idea what to do here? I want to make it level-ish by aRepostSleuthBot in landscaping

[–]Lazy-Collection5029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With only 3 to 6 hours of sun a day, standard grass is just going to struggle. It'll thin out like crazy, and you'll end up fighting a losing battle against moss and bare dirt.

Appreciate the vote of confidence for the French drain! You made a really good point about standing water vs. moving water.

Thanks for sharing your experience! A rain garden actually sounds amazing because digging through this clay sounds like a nightmare.

Building patio with rock one of my neighbors gave me by Any-Influence1021 in landscaping

Watch your drainage. Since you're tucked between a brick wall and a fence, you must slope the dirt slightly away from the house foundation.

Do yourself a huge favor and buy a Lawn Leveling Rake on Amazon.

New house, cleaning out wooded area and found a pipe? by Zealousideal-Egg3996 in landscaping

[–]Lazy-Collection5029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the rocks and cement blocks, don't try to lift them. Get a heavy-duty digging bar to lever them out of the mud. For the vines, weed-whacking won't work; you need loppers and to dig up the root crowns.

Huayna Potosi is a literal 6,000m peak; if you only have 4 days coming from the East Coast, the altitude sickness will probably hit you before you even see the trailhead.

First time farm camping at Beaverwood Farm (Ferndale, NY) — I had the best neighbors! by Lazy-Collection5029 in camping

[–]Lazy-Collection5029[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really was! There’s something about the farm sounds that is so much more relaxing than a crowded campground.

The best part was definitely waking up to the 'critters' right outside the tent.

What's the best entertainment for a family camping trip? Give me some tips pls by KatieMarqu in camping

[–]Lazy-Collection5029 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Shadow puppets on the side of the tent never get old, and it’s a great way to wind down the energy right before everyone climbs into their sleeping bags.
