I didn’t know they are deporting the parents of anchor babies. Excellent
I’m was hoping that their Hackzall would be available as the free tool. I’ve been slowly changing to Milwaukee and have been very happy with their tools
The wife is in charge of that situation haha

You are limited on how much Celsius you apply per year. If you feel the need to hit it, make sure it is cool enough and use the cocktail or SpeedZone Southern. They are cheaper per application anyway
My wife knows a couple that flew in for their vacation on Thursday lol
I’ve had the best success cutting and painting with a glyphosate concentrate. Add a marker dye to keep track of what you painted
Add new garden soil in the bare areas. Buy it in bulk. Stay away from the bagged stuff. Cgrands plant suggestions are good. You can also use ardesia japonica

What kind of lines? Soaker hose or xerigation>
The underground lines are fine like previously stated but you should protect all above ground PVC and backflow preventer
You could hike Alum Cave and stop at the bluff. I would recommend hydration packs for everyone and lunch/snacks like previously mentioned
I am going with a small group. Beer and charity for the win!
Check out FightingTown Tavern in Blue Ridge. All their food is sourced locally and made from scratch. Mercier Orchards is overwhelming but really cool
The advice to use Mereaux’s is solid. They are very quick, incredibly honest and do great work. I highly recommend them for alignments as well.
Limelights are real finicky in Louisiana. They need good fertilization, consistent water (irrigation) and they still have issues sometimes. The ‘Little Lime’ hydrangea is smaller but performs a lot better

I use a ground saw and use plastic bamboo barrier to keep more rhizomes from coming in from the turf. You have to hand weed the landscape beds to remove the rhizomes. Sometimes the rootball of plants are infested and best to discard. You may have to remove all soil from the bed, add the barrier, and start from scratch
I was coming to post the same thing. He pulls no punches lol
The new RoundUp has a soil residual that can kill desirable plants by moving from the soil into the desirable plants roots. Regular Roundup (glyphosate) doesn’t have a soil residual
Laborers in Honduras make approximately $20 per day. They are making 10x that in the US. Laborers in the US would bust their arse for $2k a day too
Doveweed is out of control this year. It seems like the cold winter put a hurt on VBW but it’s roaring back in late summer
