I have a site beside the house separated by a wallsize is about half an acre. Its currenlty full of scutch grass, and its a littli bumpyI want to utilise it, but it will be a project over the next 5 years or so, maybe put Fruit trees in and maybe some other trees.My question is, what can I do with it now to have it level, and not require too much maintanance (e,g, Lawning) over the next few years. Is there a type of grass I could put down whcih does not require mowing but does not get out of hand
My questions are :Is it okay to use dead grass cuttings as a fertilizer on raised beds in my vegetable garden? Would leaving your grass cuttings on the lawn aid fertilization of the ground?
How do you take cuttingd and is it right to plant them in pot or to plant in the ground where they are being left?
Thinking of sowing my new lawn next week, do you think the grass will grow before frost season. The lawn is at a 30 degree angle do you think this is too steep for using a lawn mower
I recently sowed my lawn just over a week ago, I have had good growth in most parts of the lawn, while in places there is no growth, some lawn seed has grown while other seeds have not. I added some grass fertilizer to the lawn,What can i do to resolve these patches at this early stage. Do i need to water these areas or re-sow?
A Hawthorn (pink flowerng) about 13 years od. It did not thrive this year, leaves thin,flowers poor and the leaves are almost gone now. I attach a photo taken in mid August. See the burnt leaves and the fungus like growth on the branch. This fungus is now yellow and crumbly and covers most of the outer twigs and branches. Any ideas on what I could do?
