I note that in some US sites they talk about varieties of grass species that is quite resistant to talk urine. In a small garden, such as mine where the dog is trained not to go near borders, tubs or boxes, it is hard to also designate an area for urine that is also discrete or contained. My only hope is to contain the problem by throwing water on it which has not really helped or by feeding her a substance that dilutes the nitrogen and i wont do that. Are there particular varieties of grass or lawn turf that you would recommend or is the best advice to do what I am doing and contain it as best I can.
The leaves on my Iris reticulata are extremely long, to the extent that they actually take from the display, its like looking at the flower through the bars of a cage. Can you tell me what may have caused this please?
Have mossy lawn with what appears to be lichen on it (spreading quite quickly) in Co. Mayo. Can you suggest best method to get rid of it?
My dad died recently and we're in the process of clearing his house. There's a rose bush in front garden which my mother planted that I want to try and take as the garden is being paved. It's an old bush but flowers beautifully each year, Turkish delight scent! What is best way to give it a chance of surviving. It's not been cut back this year?
Last year I had someone in to prepare ground and spread topsoil as needed to level it. I was away the day that the work was completed so never got to see the topsoil. It was only when I began rotivating and preparing it for seeding that I saw the poor quality of the soil. It looked like a mix of sandy very very stony subsoil, almost a pale yellowish colour. Anyway, I continued with the seeding and a year on the area where this topsoil was used the grass is a distinct yellow colour and very patchy where the grass wont grow at all, leaving it just bare. Over the winter there was little or no growth compared to other areas of the lawn and it is still the sickly yellow.Is there anything that I can do to rectify the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've just put nitrogen on my grass as instructed on the label, it has now gone yellow - can I save it?
