It sounds like I am going to go with a heater/chiller combo. Obviously, it is more money, but everyone I have spoken to tells me the glacier chiller is nothing but trouble and not nearly as effective. [/quote]
This is not my experience at all. I'm in south Louisiana. We have a Glacier ch...

Gotcha. That rules it out. We have dogs that occasionally chew on plants.

trellis ornamental plant advice

Hi all. I have a concrete pathway that wraps around my back porch to an outdoor shower. I want to put some brick columns along the outside of the pathway and build a trellis/fence in between the columns to create a natural privacy wall for walking around the walkway to the shower. I'm looking for a ...

Thanks ronk. I was hoping you'd respond. Will the roots of the grass under stress die or is it just some kind of protective mechanism/half dormancy?
I top dressed with compost/sand early this year and will repeat next year, along with aeration. ...

I had an issue with Zoysia patch coming out of the winter and I was able to successfully control that with Torque. I thought this may be a fungus, but it's been so damn dry and the leaves don't have spots - just brown tips in places....

I'm aware. It doesn't seem to affect the entire yard though, and I'm also aware that there are people here that know a lot more about this than I do. So, if there's something I need to be doing to prevent what's happening to the grass, I'm hoping ...

Brown spots in yard
Posted by atom1505 on 8/8/23 at 8:21 am
Does this look like heat stress to y’all? This is palisades zoysia. Sodded last October. Was doing fantastic until about 2 weeks ago. The lawn is irrigated and it’s running every 3 days at the moment.

The non-monetary benefit of being comfortable on the second floor of the house outweighs most of that for me. I'm not looking at it strictly from an investment standpoint....

They have run from $7000 to around $9000 without removal of existing insulation. My house has a high pitch roof as well and my upstairs area is about 800sqft living, but it's only 1.5 stories so the attic floor is also the downstairs ceiling in a lot of places. I'm not sure what my attic square foot...
