***Official gardening, landscape and yardwork thread***
We had a 2014 gardening thread and another planting trees thread. Figured it would be better just to have a general thread to share knowledge about all things yards.

I've learned stuff about growing things here in the desert from people all around the country. Post pictures and share your knowledge!

Ah yes. Old and shitty. I know the type. Grandpa had a damned old IH 806 that I swear to god had more blowby than compression and he’d spend a day making the ****er run.

For 20 years I had a place with a huge yard full of trees, bushes, rock beds and other various landscaping. I could spend an entire goddamn weekend doing spring clean up and still not finish it. It took me at least 2 hours to do a full mow and trim. I was never caught up, there was always something that needed attention.

Moved into a new place this month and now I have 1 tree, 3 little bushes, and a lawn I can mow in 30 min and I ****ing love it.

Yard work sucks.

Oh, and the best part of it, this is what's behind our place. It's like having a huge yard, but I don't have to take care of it.

I lived across the street from a middle school, It was fantastic!

Living by an elementary on nice days during recess... not so much but still better than a high school with a shitty marching band that practiced a lot

My yard not only was low maintenance but they paid me to mow it







I have established landscaping in my present house and the previous owner did a great job of landscaping. In the fall I hire someone to cut everything back, remove the leaves, and mulch. About all I do is fertilize 5 times a year and watch someone else mow the grass.

Old place had an elementary school across the street, with the playground directly in front of me. It was noisy when the kids were out. The playground is far enough away here that I haven't really noticed it too much.

Middle schools, old enough to take the bus, too old for recess...

my plan with the house next spring is to get some edging in and maybe some landscaping bricks, use some small rocks where mulch would normally be ; and then get like 2 or 3 of those big - dunno what they're called - planters boxes where you can set a potted plant down in it. They look like 1/2 of a barrel.

bought a house that just had the bare minimum curb appeal type plants plugged in to get the sale done. I don't want to be a slave to the yard; just keep the turf up and going well, but landscaping...I just want simple. if one of the potted plants dies, fine,...replace it. rather than ripping up a bush or a shrub etc. all the dark mulch that was set down last fall before the sale, is already all ate up and faded.

is that a decent plan?

As long as you expect to replace the plants in the planter every year. Many plants wont survive the winter with their roots above ground, some will but depending on how harsh the winter is you may lose some. If you want them to survive make sure they are hardy to zone 3 instead of zone 5.

Put down 120 bags of mulch (8.889 cu yds!!!), blocked a rabbit hole under the porch, and sunk some stepping stones into the ground in that "grass always gets stomped down" area.

I'm beat!

No, I just skipped doing Mulch last year, so I had to go 4-6 inches.

It's all good, I needed the workout, I've skipped the gym much too often lately...
