Re: Essential oils to control insects?

You can try mosquito barrier which is organic. Or neem oil. Obviously dont spray while bumble bees are active or they may get harmed. I'm huge with spraying stuff that wont harm me or my dog.

I understand these trees need good drainage and are prone to disease. My plan is to plant them in a compost/loom mix and...

Re: Rhode Island/Mass fertilizer seed etc suppliers?

Just was curious if anyone had a go to spot for a bulk of their supplies. Urea,dimension etc. I can get speciality stuff online. Was also going to do a small overseed in the front. But might just hold off till next fall and continue getting everything healthy.

Re: Killing weeds, Overseeding, Rhode Island

Here are some pics so you can get a better understanding. The grass is green but it's spotty. The food I put down did help out the color and thatching helped for sure. https://s29.postimg.cc/hus49yldf/20170429_070948.jpg https://s8.postimg.cc/essez44ld/20170429_071151.jpg https://s23.postimg.cc/wnin...

Re: round up for northern lawns

I myself would like to know about this too, I was planning on using this and then seeding in a week after I use it. It says you can seed up to 4 days after.

Re: Killing weeds, Overseeding, Rhode Island

Thank you cyclone! Yes in my research I did learn the applying a pre emergent herbicide there would be no way I could plant, as it forms a barrier? I think what you were saying is what I'm going to do. I was considering round up , certain chemicals allow you to plant as soon as 3 days after. But I f...

Weeds are blooming need to decide if I'm better off killing these weeds off now with a 24d and then waiting a month to overseed. Or should I just overseed and wait to add the po...
