POTTING MIX FROM LAST YEAR AND
A LOT OF FOLKS HAVE THAT.
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS AND IS THAT
MOLD OR IS IT OKAY TO USE THAT?
>> THAT IS MOLD AND I WOULD
CERTAINLY NOT USE IT.
WHEN YOU KEEP THE SOIL MAKE
SURE IT IS DRY AND COVERED.
PUT IT IN THE GARBAGE CAN OR
FIVE GALLON PAIL.
THIS IS GOOD YEAR TO YEAR BUT
SOMEHOW THIS ONE GOT WET.

TAMARA HAS A QUESTION SAYING
DAYLILIES PLANTED UNDER ROCKS
AND SOME ARE NOT.
SHE WANTS TO PUT OUT MULCH AND
IS IT SAFE TO PUT THE MULCH
OVER THE ROCKS?
>> IT IS SAFE THAT IT WILL NOT
MAKE MUCH SENSE.
IT IS THE AESTHETICS SHE IS
TALKING ABOUT.
TALKING ABOUT. IF YOU WANT TO THAT'S OKAY.
BUT ROCKS ARE COLD IN THE
WINTER AND DO NOT HOLD MOISTURE
AND HOT IN THE SUMMER.
THE MULCH TWO OR FOUR INCHES IS
THE OPPOSITE AND IS THE BEST
THING YOU CAN DO.
I KNOW REMOVING ROCKS IS NOT
GOOD BUT I A MULCH GUY, NO
QUESTION.
QUESTION.
QUESTION. >> THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT
ROCKS GROW ROCKS AND THAT IS
LABOR-INTENSIVE AND A LOT OF
WORK.
WORK.
WORK. IF
WORK. IF YOU CAN DO IT ONE BED AT A
TIME, TRY TO DO THAT.

LILACS.
LILACS.
LILACS. CAN YOU TRIM IT NOW OR SHOULD

BUSH, DO NOT DO THAT.

PARTS OF THE CANES.
>>> THIS ONE IS FROM GLYNIS WHO
SAYS THAT HER HUSBAND PUT OUT
SEED, GRASS SEED, IN THE FALL.
LAST YEAR SHE DID SPOT SEATING
AND SHE SAID THEY HAD HORRIBLE
CRABGRASS LAST YEAR.
WILL IT HURT THE LAWN TO PUT
DOWN THE PRE-EMERGENT WITH
GRASS COMING UP.
HE IS RELUCTANT TO TO USE IT
BECAUSE IT SAYS FOR ESTABLISHED
AND HE DOES NOT WANT TO KILL
THE NEW GRASS COMING UP.
>> THAT IS 100% CORRECT.
IF THE NEW GRASS IS UP AND YOU
HAVE ALREADY MOWED IT YOU HAVE
A GOOD SHOT BUT THAT WILL STOP
THE SEED FROM GERMINATING ON
WHAT YOU HAVE.
IF YOU'RE GRASS SEED HAS JUST
BEEN LAID OUT, YOU HAVE MAYBE
SIX OR 10 WEEKS BEFORE YOU CAN
PUT THAT DOWN.
GROW A GOOD THICK LAWN.
MOW IT HIGH AND YOU DON'T HAVE
A CRABGRASS PROBLEM.

BECAUSE EVERYONE SAYS IT IS
TIME TO DO IT.

THAT.
