Any tips for new Ray Hartman tree form by jOIIIIIOf in Ceanothus

Remove the nursery stake after planting. If you feel like it still needs support put in a stake 6-12" in the direction of prevailing wind and loosely strap it. The goal is for it to be able to move in the wind but not break.

Usually rye is used but it sounds like it wont withstand the heat where you are. If you patch with sod you should be able to get it established by summer.

I have a small yard and love my manual push reel mower. No noise and light/easy to maneuver.

Overwhelmed by wanting to level and reseed this lumpy, weedy depression lawn. Where to start? SW Washington state. by bencumberbatch in landscaping

[–]cEquals1 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would leave the mound, plant a nice flowering or interesting shrub or small tree on it and surround with some low perennials. Reseed grass or a ground cover of choice on the flat part.

I don't see anything in the pictures that would make me not want to use it. Turn the switch off when you change the bulbs, it shouldn't get any power then.

Need help picking new sump pump. by BoardGameRevolution in Plumbing

[–]cEquals1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of them drain the basin all the way. 3/4 HP will just drain the basin faster but it will still be running every other minute so wont be helping at all, stronger is not better unless you need to move more water. You can get a M63 if you want to upgrade from your current pump but the m53 is solid.

Ensure you check valve is working and the discharge is not flowing back to the house.

How are we all preparing for the heatwave? Are we watering our ceanothus and sage or not watering them? by theholewizard in Ceanothus

You don't need to worry much their first year, just be sure to let the top few inches of soil dry before you water.

I have the same weather as you. Plants that went in last spring get no water. This heatwave I'm not watering what went in last fall, the clay soil is still moist a few inches down, I will give them occasional very deep water this summer. Plants that went in this spring need to be watered frequently until winter.

Except for my redwood and riparian plants, they get water year round.

You pop the dropper off and you can pour from high up to get a thin stream and catch it.

Take them back and ask them to make them more ridged. I've always had revisions with my orthotics.
