My next door neighbour has a chain saw and I hate it with a passion. That is I hate the ghastly sound it makes. Then the time came when a couple of trees right next to my house had to come down – too much shade and showers of debris onto the terrace every time the wind blew. Well of course I asked my neighbour as he is the tree expert, and out came the chainsaw.
The job was done in a trice, I had more light on the garden and inside the house and a load of logs for my wood burning stove. So I came to understand why he loves his chainsaw. But I knew I was never going to use one and just needed a decent axe to chop up my logs.
In the end a bought a Fiskars super splitting axe as it is modern, sturdy and light and I don’t need to build up my muscles to use it. There are plenty of excellent reviews on the web and the only noise I get out of it is a pleasing thunk while chopping the logs. I won’t be going down to the woods to chop down trees with it – I now know that’s where the chainsaw comes in. I am now well equiped for the time when the oil runs out (and the gas and the electricity) I shall boil my kettle on my wood burning stove. Tea is so refreshing after a hard days chopping!
Let’s face it, we don’t want animals eating our garden plants or our vegetables. But many people have real problems with this issue. It can be Dogs or Deer or it can even be birds stealing fish from the Pond.
These motion activated sprinklers are amazing things. We simply hook them up and then as soon as anything at all moves in range, even large birds, they are going to get the shock of their lives. They get a jet of water fired straight at them. It is totally humane though, they don’t get hurt, just a little surprised.
You will find that after only a day or two of this happening they are going to never be a bother again. It is so effective that I really cannot think of anything else that could work so well and so quickly as well.
If you are getting your prize marrows or your borders absolutely ruined by animals and pests on the rampage then get yourself one of these sprinklers, you will be pest free in days and back to sleeping soundly at night.

Lawn Fertilizing – Best Practices For Optimal Results
Lawn fertilizing is an act similar to an art form for some people, but it does not have to be that way. There are steps to be followed regarding proper fertilization, but they are few and simple. Following these tips will yield a lush green lawn that is free of weeds and disease.
A little background information on the lawn goes a long way in making sure that the lawn gets what it needs, when it needs it. A simple soil test along with a pH test can help the homeowner to determine what the yard is lacking. This can help the homeowner get the right fertilizer for the yard and apply it properly.
The best results will be achieved by adding only what the lawn actually needs instead of adding unnecessary chemicals. On the average, a low nitrogen fertilizer is preferred when feeding any lawn. Use a slow release formula to avoid the fertilizer burning patches in the lawn and getting an even feed across the whole yard.
To achieve the healthiest lawn, it is recommended that fertilizer be applied four times per year. Those residing in the northern states should apply fertilizer at least one time in each of the spring and fall. The longer growing season in the southern states makes it necessary for southern lawns to be fertilized two times each during the spring and fall.
Try to keep the fertilizer on the lawn and off the driveway. If a spill should occur, clean up immediately with either a broom or a shop vac. The chemicals in fertilizer can cause stains on either concrete or pavement along with contaminating water supplies should they be washed into a storm drain and should be handled with care.
Use a spreader to ensure even application of the fertilizer. Spreaders come in different versions, including hand-held and pushable, and they can be purchased online or at a garden center. The last point to note is to avoid applying fertilizer within 24 hours of anticipated rain and avoid heavy watering for 24 hours after application. The lawn fertilizing steps above provide the path to a beautiful lawn without wasted time and effort.

weed, insect control on lawn near garden and shrubs?
I have small lawn, about 3500 s.f. There are large trees that are the edge of woods in the back. I have a small raised vegetable garden in the middle of the lawn. I also have a few small blueberry and raspberry bushes amongst the lawn.
I am using the scotts program. I am looking for some alternatives. Basically, after using step 2 weed control I noticed the bluberries look like they were damaged by it. I didnt spread it right at the base of them, but maybe gave them an 18″ buffer. This wasnt enough. I am thinking that I may want to just spread turf builder by scotts for the lawn, and aplly seperate products for weed and insects. I will be applying grubex in the next few days. In mid july I plan on applying an insect control product. And would like to apply another weed application. What tips do people have on a weed application that won’t harm the bushes and garden?
For weed control, the best solution is to dig them up by the root. You can also pour boiling water on them. Do not use salt as this may harm your existing plants. Vinegar may work, but again, it may do harm.

Benefits of Lawn Landscaping and Landscape Design in St Petersburg, FL
Professional landscape design and lawn landscaping will cost you. Of course, you can do it yourself for free and you may be tempted to do so in order to cut costs. Unless you are a professional lawn landscaping designer, though, the difference is telling. In fact, if you do it yourself, you may end up spending more for your mistakes. The benefits of hiring a professional for your landscape design and lawn landscaping, on the other hand, make it a very worthy investment. With expert landscape design and lawn landscaping, not only will you have a gorgeous lawn in St Petersburg, FL but also a low maintenance and cost effective lawn that will raise the market value of your property.
All lawns need professional lawn landscaping maintenance services specifically for regular pest control because lawns are commonly infested with white grubs, mole crickets and fungus. These pests need to be eliminated completely and re-infestation has to be prevented. Property owners should, however, ensure that the lawn landscaping maintenance service provider in St Petersburg, FL uses only ecologically friendly and non toxic pest control products. These should be safe for the environment, the family and family pets.
Property owners should also require this with regard to lawn fertilization. Regular lawn landscaping maintenance needs proper fertilization in order to prevent grass discoloration. If the grass turns brown in patches, the well executed landscape design is totally ruined. Weed prevention is also often included in lawn fertilization. Property owners should ensure that the lawn landscaping maintenance service provider in St Petersburg, FL uses only ecologically friendly and non toxic fertilizers and weed prevention solutions.
Regular lawn landscaping maintenance services should cover lawn repair whenever any part of the lawn gets damaged. While the use of grass sod is avoided in laying down entire lawns because it costs higher than grass seed, this is not the case in lawn repair. A small patch of grass sod can be much cheaper than the smallest bag of grass seed sold in St Petersburg, FL.
Lawn damage can be caused by heavy foot traffic. The best landscape design and lawn landscaping should, therefore, incorporate strategic foot paths through the lawn. The presence of low areas in the lawn landscaping also cause various lawn diseases and damage because such areas have poor air circulation and attract water pooling and water retention. Again this could be pre-empted by good landscape design in St Petersburg, FL.
With expertly done landscape design and lawn landscaping, the market value of the property is increased, resulting in better prices in the real estate market. This is attested to by real estate agents themselves. Investing in professional landscape design, lawn landscaping and lawn maintenance is therefore a good financial decision even if the property owner has no immediate plans of selling. To ensure that the market value stays up, the lawn has to be kept well maintained. It is recommended that a reputable service provider for landscape design, lawn landscaping and lawn maintenance be chosen in St Petersburg, FL.

what if I’m doing a science fair project and my cup doesn’t have any worms.
Should I use coffee grounds as a varible?
or should I just use fish food as a varible? How does fish food make a good fertilizer?
Coffee grounds are a low-level source of nitrogen, having a fertilizer value of around 2.0-0.3-0.2, as well as a minor source of calcium and magnesium. Post-brewed coffee grounds are reported to be slightly to highly acidic, depending on the source, but no more so than peat moss. So, one could apply them to the soil for acid-loving plants, such as rhododendrons, azaleas and blueberries, etc. Or, you could spread them out over a larger garden area to minimize the pH effect. It’s difficult to make a specific recommendation for an application rate, but it’s always better to err on the lighter side, since the pH can be variable. A rate of 10 pounds (dry weight) per 1000 square feet would be conservative.
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, MORE SPECIFICALLY:
Composting is also an excellent method to recycle the grounds, which have a carbon-to-nitrogen ratio of around 20:1. Use the grounds as you would green, leafy material, mixing with some dry, brown plant materials in the compost. The Environmental Protection Agency suggests adding no more than 25 percent volume coffee grounds. WORM COMPOSTERS report that coffee grounds are an excellent food source for the little critters. Again, be sure to MIX THE GROUNDS with brown materials (like soggy leaves), even in the worm bin.

Can i Mow My Weeded Lawn Before i Apply a Fertilizer-Weed Conrol Mix?
I bought the Scotts Turf Builder Pro which is a Fertilizer-Weed Control Mix. I’ve been pulling weeds out all day with and am ready to apply the mix, however, because my lawn is so large part of my lawn still is covered in weeds. I am too lazy and would very much like to mow my lawn and then apply this Fertilizer-Weed Control Mix. Is this ok to do? Or should i apply the mix without cutting my lawn so that the weeds can receive full exposure to the mix?
Thanks
Hi guys/gals..Thanks for the relpies so far. I am curious…On the Scott’s bags i have it mentions that because of morning dew’s moisture in the air by applying the Scott’s Fertliizer-Weed Control it will allow it to stick to the leaves of the weeds for better killing. If i do go ahead and cut the grass then would this reduce the effectiveness of killing them later on? Some of you mention i should cut the lawn while others mention to not cut before i apply the product
Mow the lawn and spread the Turf Builder. If the lawn is a nice even level, the stuff will spread more evenly. If you let the weeds (and dandelions) stay tall, you risk them going to seed and re-seeding your lawn with weeds! If you can’t spread the Scott’s in the early am to catch the dew, you can water your lawn with sprinklers or a hose to give the granules something to “stick” to. If your lawn is huge, you can split it into 2 sections and water and spread one in the am and the other in the evening.
Effect of pre emergence weedicide on yield attributes and yield of groundent in inceptisol soil
Effect of pre emergence weedicide on yield attributes, yield and quality of summer groundnut in inceptisol soil.

————————————————————————————————-
Abstract : The present investigation was carried out by conducting an field experiment. The field experiment was carried out at Post Graduate Institute Research Farm, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri during summer 2002-03 and 2003-04 to assess the effect of pre emergence weedicide on yield attributes and yield of groundnut in Inceptisol soil. The soil of experimental area is grouped under Inceptisol soil order belonging to Sawargaon (Pather) soil series. There are fourteen treatment comprised of pre emergence weedicide application viz., oxyfluorfen, alachlor, fluchloralin and pendimethalin in graded dose, weedy check and weed control. The highest number of pegs were recorded by alachlor @ 2.0 kg a.i. ha-1 during 2002-03, 2003-04 and pooled mean. The application of pendimethalin @ 0.75, 1.50 and 3.00 kg a.i. ha-1 were recorded the less number of pods during 2002-03 and pooled mean. The higher pod yield was recorded by fluchloralin @ 0.75, 1.5 and 3.0 kg a.i. ha-1 during 2002. The application of alachlor @ 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 kg a.i. ha-1 recorded the higher haulm yield during 2003-04, 2003-04 and pooled mean. The protein and oil content of groundnut were found the highest in weedy check treatment during 2002-03, 2003-04 and pooled mean.
Oilseed crops have been the backbone of agricultural economy of India. Groundnut is an important legume cum oil seed crops in India particularly in the state of Maharashtra. Commercially and nutritionally it is an important source of vegetable oil and agriculturally serves to improve soil fertility by fixing the atmospheric nitrogen through Rhizobium bacteria. Groundnut ranks first among oilseed crops of India. Unlike other crops, groundnut has poor competitive ability against weeds due to its slow growth behaviour. If the real position of the problem is not seriously viewed at proper time this may give rise to unwarranted speculations and danger to our plants, soils, animals and human health at large. It is, therefore, very essential to generate information on behaviour of these herbicides in soils.
Material and methods – The field experiment was carried out on groundnut in two successive years during summer 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 at Post Graduate Institute Farm, Department of Soil Science and Agriculture Chemistry on Sawargaon (Pather) soil series of inceptisols, to study the effect of pre emergence weedicides on yield attributes yield of groundnut in inceptisol soil. Geographically, the location of Central Campus, MPKV, Rahuri is situated between 19°47’ – 19°57’ N latitude and 74°19’ E longitude. The groundnut seed (SB-XI) was obtained from the Groundnut Breeder, Groundnut Project, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri. Commercial grade urea (46 % N), single super phosphate (16% P2O5) and muriate of potash (60% K2O)were used to supply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium respectively. The experiment was laid out with fourteen treatment replicated three times in randomized block design. Plot size Gross – 6.00 m x 3.60 m, Net – 5.30 m x 3.30 m Spacing 30 cm x 15 cm. Treatment details areOxyfluorfen 0.5 kg a.i. ha-1 Oxyfluorfen 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1, Oxyfluorfen 2.0 kg a.i. ha-1, Alachlor 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1, alachlor 2.0 kg a.i. ha-1, Alachlor 4.0 kg a.i. ha-1, Fluchloralin 0.75 kg a.i. ha-1, Fluchloralin 1.50 kg a.i. ha-1, Fluchloralin 3.00 kg a.i. ha-1, Pendimethalin 0.75 kg a.i. ha-1 Pendimethalin 1.50 kg a.i. ha-1, Pendimethalin 3.00 kg a.i. ha-1, Weedy check, Control (Weed free check).Observations to be recorded number of peg formation, number of pod formation, pod yield, haulm yield,. oil content, protein content. The data obtained in different observation were processed statistically by using randomized block design as described by Panse and Sukhatme (1968).
Result and Discussion- The effect of pre emergence weedicide on number of pegs and pod in summer groundnut are presented in Table 1. The number of pegs in summer groundnut were at par by the weedicide application in 2002-03, 2003-04 and pooled mean. However, it was significantly higher in application of alachlor @ 2.0 kg a.i. ha-1 (187.67) in 2002-03. The numerical values of number of pegs were increased with an increased application of oxyfluorfen (Table 1). This was might be due to higher levels of oxyfluorfen control the weeds in summer groundnut than their lower levels which may provides weed free environment, reduced the moisture, nutrient and sunlight energy competition. The observations are in conformity with the Prakash et al. (2000), Pandey et al. (2001), Dharkar et al. (2002) and Sharma and Jain (2002 )
The pre emergence weedicide in summer groundnut significantly affected the pod and haulm yield of groundnut during both the years and in pooled mean. (Table 2). The pod yield of summer groundnut was significantly higher during 2002-03 (23.91 q ha-1), 2003-04 (22.83 q ha-1) and pooled mean (23.37 q ha-1) in control treatment. The pre emergence weedicide alachlor @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 and fluchloralin @ 1.50 kg a.i. ha-1 were at par for pod yield (20.90 and 21.35 q ha-1 respectively) during 2002-03. However, during 2003-04 control treatment was significantly superior for pod yield (22.83 q ha-1). The variation in pod yield between the year of experimentation might be because of seasonal effect. The variation in pod yield was also ascertained by the varied morphological characters viz., number of leaves, pods, pegs etc. These observations are in conformity with the Sharma and Jain (2002), Wanjari et al. (2001) and Kumar and Tiwari (2004). In general, use of pre emergence weedicide in summer groundnut reduced the pod yield. However, the use of fluchloralin, alachlor and oxyfluorfen were more safe and beneficial for pod yield. The use of pendimethalin had adverse effect on pod yield.
The haulm yield of summer groundnut was significantly influenced by the use of pre emergence weedicide during 2002-03, 2003-04 and pooled mean. The use of oxyfluorfen @ 1.0 kg a.i. ha-1 recorded the highest haulm yield (62.57 q ha-1) followed by alachlor @ 2.0 kg a.i. ha-1 (61.49 q ha-1). The haulm yield of summer groundnut was numerically higher during 2003-04 than 2002-03. This was because of seasonal variations. Whereas, pendimethalin has adverse effect on haulm yield of summer groundnut. These observations were also found by Kushwaha and Kushwaha (2001), Kumar and Tiwari (2004), Chauhan et al. (2005) and Singh et al. (2006).
The protein and oil percentage of summer groundnut as influenced by the pre emergence weedicide are presented in Table 3. The use of fluchloralin @ 0.75, 1.50 and 3.0 kg a.i. ha-1 significantly reduced the protein per cent (44.50, 44.47 and 44.63 per cent respectively) during 2002-03. The pooled mean of protein per cent by the fluchloralin significantly reduced. The weedy check and control treatment were significantly superior for protein per cent in summer groundnut during 2002-03, 2003-04 and pooled mean. Similar observations were also found by Rathore (2001) and Ram et al. (2005). In general, the use of pre emergence weedicide in summer groundnut did not showed the consistent relationship on protein per cent.
The oil percentage in summer groundnut was significantly influenced by the pre emergence weedicide. The pendimethalin application @ 0.75, 1.50 and 3.00 kg a.i. ha-1 significantly recorded the higher oil per cent during 2002-03 (29.75, 28.88 and 28.88 per cent respectively) and 2003-04 (30.63, 30.34 and 29.26 and 29.03 per cent respectively). It was closely followed by fluchloralin and oxyfluorfen. These results indicated that the weedicides reduced the oil per cent to smaller extent as compared to weedy checks. This was might be because of yield variation. The production of higher yield reduced the concentration of oil content. Thus, the pre emergence weedicide did not influenced the oil per cent in summer groundnut.
Conclusion –
The pendimethalin application reduced the number of pegs and pod in summer groundnut. The fluchloralin pre emergence weedicide increased the pod yield significantly. The protein and oil content in summer groundnut were increased in weedy check. The use of fluchloralin as pre emergence weedicide in summer groundnut are beneficial for weed control, yield and quality of summer groundnut.
