Hahaha, fixed that problem.

Removed all the bricks and stack them up from the old fireplace patio now I’m putting in a new flowerbed . Removing the grass and installing the border.

Hey Mike. Any recommendations on what to apply to these trees and American Pokeweed? I have it growing over my fence from the school yard and I'm getting tired of always cutting it back.

You could file a complaint with the school to have them removed no pesticides allowed on school property anymore so if you apply anything and get caught, you’ll be in a lot of trouble with big fines. If I was you, I would call every day and complain. The squeaky wheel always gets the grease.

Nope. My technique is better.

Yea i always wondered whose it is because when I went on the ladder to cut some of the branches I noticed a chain link fence on the other side of the trees/bushes. So idk if the people that had the house before me just put a fence to avoid taking all the stuff out or what. It's actually a parking lot right on the other side. So nothing will be going on the grounds so to speak

keep hitting whatever is on your side with repeated dose of Roundup...

It'll eventually kill the whole plant.

What constitutes a pesticide……..

AI Overview

Pesticides are substances used to kill, repel, or control pests, including insects, weeds, fungi, and rodents. They are used in public health to control disease-carrying organisms and in agriculture to protect crops. Common types include herbicides (for weeds), insecticides (for insects), fungicides (for fungi), and rodenticides (for rodents).

Roundup is a toxic carcinogen! We haven’t used that crap in 15+ years, a solution of vinegar, salt and dishwashing liquid will work on weeds , especially on patios and gravel driveways. As to the conversation at hand, a stealth operation to cut the problem plants to the ground is in order. Keep at it and eventually they won’t come back.

Finally finished the area with the outdoor fireplace to be filled with perennials and a couple Oakleaf hydrangeas doesn’t look like much right now, but it will be jampacked on spring

Good thing he showed up this lawn was a mess

Damn snow split my Japanese weeping Maple AGAIN!
It was almost fully healed from the first time. This time the pressure was so great it broke the zip ties that I had on .
If this tree survives this, it’s one tough SOB

very cold not good for Zip Ties… cell…
