Anyone in the KC area mix their own garden bed soil? I haven't been able to find good places for compost and vermiculite other than small bags of vermiculate and the one yellow bag of cow manure compost that would work, but I'd like to find some other sorts of compost to mix with it.
I'm doing a big new raised bed and am needing to get a lot of soil to finish getting it up to the soil level I want, and don't want to spend a fortune on the bagged garden soil. |

They fogged and seal coated our road last summer. Now, most of the chips seem to be in my yard-thanks to the snow plow.
What is the best way of picking them up and removing them? I know I will not get them all, but want to prevent more from moving into the yard when I mow. Could not find anything online. Still looking. |

I doubt your lawn sweeper would pick up what you need picked up.

In hindsight it seems obvious but learned the lesson that I have to dial back my drip system schedule during the winter months.
Had to replace 4 Red Yuccas but everything else I should be able to save. Also looking into doing a waterless cactus garden along the path to my backyard. |

I spent 9 1/2 hours over two days several weeks back getting all the ****ing weeds out of the rocks on my lawn.
I will invest in 75% vinegar concentrate next as I know that works to kill the weeds AND the roots. 1 gallon of vinegar + 1 gallon of hot water in a 2 gallon pump sprayer will take care of a lot. Probably need 5-6 gallons of vinegar. |
