re: Help with tree selection for front yard
Posted by Sir Saint on 2/12/26 at 8:30 pm to Crescent Connection
Idk anything about the trees you listed but a couple thoughts. 1 - you can’t just plant any tree in front of your home - make sure it’s a dwarf variety that won’t grow 30’ tall. 2 - I think a tree near your mailbox will look terrible; grass won’t grow under it so you’ll need to mulch around it, lawn won’t be as pretty, curb appeal will suffer (your house will be hiding behind the tree), etc. This idea is a hard no imo. 3 - what kind of tree is already on the right side? Might not be a bad idea to match that tree and plant near area C

depending how big the area is. I'd probably start with Preen extended control (the orange-ish yellow container) since I have pretty good luck with that one in my rock beds and flowerbeds
You know I never realized how confusing the package labeling is. “Grass stopper” lol
you might have better luck finding Hi-Yield dimension (granular). I see that bag on shelves frequently and have never seen a bag of lesco dimension.

Have never done this, only read about it on here and other related forums and my understanding is that this is a simple idea on the surface but very complex to execute well... not the kind of project a layperson should take on and generally most people recommend against doing this altogether.

re: Louisiana 529 plan tax forms
Posted by Sir Saint on 1/29/26 at 10:10 am to Simon Gruber
It is mailed via snail mail. The front is a regular generic letter and the back should have your contribution info.
You do not "need" this form per se if you know how much you contributed, but good for your records.

aye more power to you if you want to spend a free weekend repairing drywall and painting. I would prefer spending 5 minutes putting some putty into a brad nail hole and a dab of touchup paint. To each his own :cheers:
Times change, tastes change, styles change. You could not pay me to glue something to a wall in my house, I would not be fond of paying a dry wall and paint crew to come refinish the wall when the wife gets tired of a decoration. Nail that thing to the wall with some brads if you value your future sanity.

To me there was nothing like the old C9 lights on the house in the 70s/80s.
Company out of Utah, Tru-Tone, makes LED C7 and C9 bulbs that achieve that nostalgic warm glow that modern LEDs do not (most of the "warm white" LED bulbs nowadays are still on the cooler side). I bought some this year and they rock. Not cheap though, about 1.50 per bulb.

agree with this take. nobody lost money, louisiana still has one of the best 529 programs in the country (one of the few things this backwards arse state actually has gotten right). Mines staying put

Facebook posting has been edited to simply say they are "insured" NOT "FDIC insured."
They had to do this because people were rightfully calling them out in the comments. The funds held within most 529 plans are mutual funds, and the FDIC does not insure mutual fund holdings.
I’ve used a Whirl on my small (1500 sq ft) front lawn for about 4 years and have no complaints whatsoever. Go for it
Alen air purifiers. The 35i with the smoke filter would be a good fit for this use case.
If you already have a buttload of weeds I would throw this down:
$22 on Amazon and will cover 4k ft2. Same active ingredient as Specticle. Very pricey but easy to spread plus has some post-emergent control
