I had not thought of using the fork instead of a spade. Thanks!
oh the beauty of the garden fork! I am novice gardener and have just discovered how to use and why! lol! god bless you! Thank you for all your tips…going to watch all your videos.
Hello John – Would you please tell me your opinion on the Tall Buttercup (I believe Ranunculus acris)? Would you also consider it a weed and not of use in the garden?
I'm guessing he is Irish…which cool…
My lawn gets go bad from creeping buttercup, I spend so much time in it there following the trail back to source and digging out. It’s never ending. Any good tips for killing and not damaging lawn?
Why was I getting a bit of a Joe Exotic vibe from this video?!
Sungold looks lovely but will not be hardy where we live. I never use membrane since then my bad soil will never improve. I bring in tons of wood chip mulch (all shoveled by me fall & spring) and it all goes away somehow,. I really would be VERY happy if you DID go on all day about this border. 🌱❤️
Pitchfork for the win! Can’t wait to try it!
Large parts of my lawn are covered by creeping buttercups. Those parts stay lush green from the moment the snow melts in early spring to the day new snow falls in late fall. They strive in any weather. They make a beautiful carpet-like surface and don’t require frequent mowing like grass. No watering or fertilizing required. In my opinion this plant is a far superior option for lawns compared to traditional grass. When I tried to find more information about it, all I could find was videos and articles on how to kill it. What am I missing?
Creeping buttercup literally will grow anywhere. Sandy soils, clay, heavy shade, full sun, dry, wet, etc, doesn't matter.
