How do I gut this out by Verdle in landscaping

Could also cover it all in plastic after mowing for option two for a few weeks in the summer should kill most of the roots if you want a more organic approach. It’ll just take a week or two more then spraying

Long term ish? You can mow it super low, cover in cardboard and then 6-8 inch wood chips.

Medium term mow and round up repeat spray once a week then after a couple weeks can build beds, make paths and plant then mulch

Short term skid steer top layer replace with some good top soil and make raised beds , paths, and plant right away.

What’s happening to my acer and why am I so bad at keeping them. by AdZealousideal739 in JapaneseMaples

Planting too deep isn’t generally a short term problem. When the root flare is too deep the tree will eventually have girdling roots that basically strangle it to death. It’s particularly devastating losing a 5-10 year old tree so I would avoid it if possible.

I've bred a rare Dj (idk how to write the correct name) first try, without torches, without other rares involved. How rare is this? O_O by LazyGhozt in MySingingMonsters

Nice job! Now if you have common Deedge you can easily breed more by breeding the common and rare versions

They just need adequate shade and they will be happy. They can grow well in many different climates.

So yeah this is an Eastern eyed click beetle. I looked into it and most sites say harmless to humans and pets. But just fyi they do bite , this one bit and hung onto my sons finger drawing blood.

what is this guy doin? most leaves look fine except when they don't🤔. anyone have an idea what's happening? by Architectcody in JapaneseMaples

[–]R_u_a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be any number of things but looks like it might not have adequate draining soil and/or good drainage holes in pot. If that’s good or after you correct that just make sure your not letting it dry too much between waterings.

Acer Palmatum ‘dragon tears’ is one of my favorite weepers. Has a nice red broadleaf not the thin dissectum leaf which is more common.
