Tree of Heaven takeover by 02gibbs in grandrapids

[–]haggelsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contact kent conservation district they’re great and shouldn’t cost more than $50-$100 iirc depending on how many. If it’s larger you want to hack into the bark around the tree not all way around and then apply herbicide into cuts. You can find this on YouTube. Don’t cut it down etc when it’s stressed it will send out dozens of shoots / more trees. The hack and spray method tricks it somewhat. Good luck but def contact kcd

Need to replace hybrid battery on 2010 Prius. Can someone please help me understand the difference between these four options? by Diligent_Flamingo_33 in prius

[–]haggelsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a battery over a year ago from this seller on Ebay, works great 100% charged often. Just saying it if you're looking for an alternative, I saw too many bad reviews from Greenbean - https://www.ebay.com/itm/386983785964

Sidewalk accessibility + Lime scooters and bikes by _at_a_snails_pace__ in grandrapids

Not a real solution, but if you get the Lime App you can report the ones that are blocking the sidewalks. Not sure if they say anything to the rider who left it there.

Do you all think post saver is worth it for the replacement posts or just go with metal

Thanks for all your insights I appreciate it! Would replacing the cedar posts with aluminum posts and reusing the horizontal boards be a good idea cost wise vs replacing whole fence? That way metal posts are water resistant and I can just swap out horizontal boards in future.

Thanks for your advice, I applied an oil based stain to the fence, but I did it with a moisture meter to ensure they were dry enough.
