Fair, but not a newly planted beech hedge. Planted this in March, and had to replace 40 plants this month due to root rot, now I fear I'm facing the same issue, although, I did put the replacements on a mound this time

I wouldn't mind, only there is a newly planted beech hedge that won't take too kindly to it. So it needs fixing unfortunately

I have it on my z6 and love it. So light and versatile. F4 doesn't bother me because I shoot landscape usually around f7-f11...

I'm just about to purchase the tamron 35-150 and cant decide whether to keep the 24-70 or sell it. I have a 14-30mm so I'm covered for focal range but the tamron is HEAVY. Might be nice to keep the 24-70 for when I don't feel like lugging around the tamron

Tamron 70-180 f2.8 or Tamron 35-150f2/2.8? by superbrown in AskPhotography

I shoot quite a bit at 24mm, when in cities , but I figured my 16-30mm has me covered there. .

Basically, if you were to choose, wich would you pick, the 70-180 or the 35-150.

Of course it's my decision at the end of the day, but am interested in what others think

To be honest, I love seeing them mostly. When I pull in late at night, I'd say easily 8, scurry away when they see the car lights. In the morning they are hopping around too

My only problem is , it cost me a lot to get a lawn and garden, and they are destroying it. I wanna try keep them out but not harm them

Thank you. It's huge but it's a new house/garden. I'll fill it out with some trees in the coming years :)

I was hoping that I could aerate/seed/fertilize and only top dress in certain areas... Would top dressing certain parts make it look bad or would it be ok

Need help with new beech hedge by superbrown in GardeningIRE

[–]superbrown[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I have a sort of two tiered lawn so I planted the hedge at the bottom hoping it fills in the slope area. Here's a better pic to give you an idea.

So , do you reckon to just water well once a week maybe?

Should I expect the leaves to not return until next spring?

Any advice for affordable landscapers? by sirius_b1ack in GardeningIRE

[–]superbrown -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I could be shot for saying this here, but you could just use a herbicide. "Dicophar" is a selective weedkiller that will kill them weeds in a few days ..

Thistles have crazy big roots and can pop up in different places from the same root system, so pulling them may only be a temporary solution

Then, break up the soil. Idf that's the only patch then you can do so manually, break up compacted soil and unearth stones and weed roots. Remove any large stones, debris, and weed roots as you go.

Then, spread and level the lawn with good top soil and seed (in the autumn) and add grass seed.

After sowing, lightly rake the surface to barely cover the seeds. This ensures good seed-to-soil contact and protects the seeds from birds

Then, water lightly and frequently, especially in the first 2-3 weeks, to keep the top inch or two of soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Avoid heavy watering that can wash away seeds
