What does everyone recommend for spring grub treatment for the lawn? Come fall I don’t want the raccoons tearing up the backyard again like they did 2 years ago.

The raccoons are most likely going after earthworms. Like I tell my customers, earth worms are their meal and grubs are just the occasional treat. A lot of times grub control isn't needed, you can check with your counties extension office if it's a bad year. I've moved away from those treatments due to the type of chems used, unless it's a bad year. Studies have found the chemicals can last in the soil for over 10 years and are linked as one of the causes of colony collapse in bee hives. |

Funny you may ask, I researched ‘non-toxic grub killer’ and came up with Nematodes: natural method of getting rid of those suckers without harming the environment. But, whoever selling this stuff must keep them refrigerated otherwise it’s useless. Look-up some videos on this stuff. I ordered mine from Amazon. Will report result when I apply it.

Ripped out about a dozen shrubs and bushes, cut a new edge, and mulched the two beds up front after trimming back the remaining bushes. First time using Scotts mulch, but I gotta say I’m not too pleased. Put out, I think, 27 1.5 cu ft bags after some back breaking work. All bags were the red and some looks great and some looks pretty meh and some just looks black. Is this normal? Some were wet so I just figured it would dry out and be red. Looking at it today after finishing it yesterday, doesn’t look to be the case. What say you Scotts users?
My other larger bed was done with Vigoro. It started to fade quickly and is why I wanted to try upgrading to Scotts. Vigoro is stuck at a faded, but acceptable red. Scotts just looks like hell a day later. Will this start to blend? Last edited by spazzyfry123; 04-29-2020 at 08:54 AM.. |

I use Scott’s Florida Select Natural Mulch and like it. I prefer 100% Eucalyptus mulch over citrus / Eucalyptus blend but it is getting more difficult to find.
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Scotts-F...2965/302688491 I prefer a natural color but I used to use red mulch and color can vary based on water content. Gets very dark when wet and very red when dry (until it fades.)

In looking at the second picture I posted, I think I want to plant a citrus tree in that open area to the right of the front door. I'd classify that spot as partial sun with the house blocking it in the mornings (front of the house faces due north) and decent sun in the afternoons. We're in a 8b zone for what it's worth. I'd really like a it to mature around 12 feet in height at the max. I was thinking a blood orange would be pretty cool and seem to be keen to partial sun. Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations (that's not a lemon tree)? |

Okay guys, I need help on something and don’t wanna start a new thread. HOW THE F DO I GET RID OF FOXTAILS??? It’s all over the front yard and backyard. Have dogs so want them to be safe. I’ve heard vinegar works? Mowed and cut everything down 2 weeks ago and now they’re coming back strong. What’s the safest and best way to kill those SOBs?!

Foxtails are a grass so any grass-safe weed killers aren’t going to do the job. |

Fck! Was afraid of that. That stuff is a pain in the ass man. I don’t mind it but don’t want it getting stuck in my dogs’ fur and maybe get in their nose and mouth, that’s the nasty part. There’s so much so gonna be some work for sure.

So this freakin rabbit has been causing havoc in my flower beds. He completely destroyed a bed of tulips and he loves kicking the shit out of my mulch and into my lawn. I cleaned everything up bit every morning it's the same shit. Soooooo I actually trapped his ass! He ran off and I saw him crawl right into my garden reel hose box. There's a small gap at the bottom for him to squeeze into. So I was actually able to move the box to where the gap is gone so now he is trapped in there. I opened the top and he's clearly hiding in the corner. So he cannot get out. What would you guys do? Leave him to die? Call a pest control? let him free where he'll do the same shit again? Put my cat in there?

^ I don’t like killing things so if you can trap him and take him out into the wild that’d be good. Or if animal control can do that it’d be nice. Don’t call AC if they’re gonna kill it.

This. There’s likely groups that will come take it and move to a more remote location. That said, they multiply like, well, rabbits so it’s also not the end of the world if it’s euthanized humanely either. We have two in our yard but so far no havoc with the plants.
