To Preen or Not to Preen-Is there a question?

Now that it's officially spring here in the Northeast we're getting tons of weeds. But I've been using Preen successfully for years. It's not meant to kill weeds but prevent them. I use it sparingly after the first use of the year. Does anyone have a successful schedule of using it apart from the directions on the container. Thanks everyone. www.homerepairtutor.com

    I've used it AFTER weeding by hand-sowing it around the plants. I have had pretty good luck ...»

Gardening: A friend sent a post from another site about killing weeds with vinegar. I'm posting the pix and part of the text from

that. This result happened in only one day. I brushed Roundup on some liriope volunteers over two weeks ago and they're just now puny and can be easily pulled out of the ground, but none are truly DEAD like in this photo. Will this be safe, do you think, if I put it on liriope volunteers and other weeds in my front yard? The yard has tree mulch, no grass, but lots of hostas, some hellebores, ferns, azaleas and other things. Guess I'd need to spray directly onto the potential victims, or brush it on with a sponge brush?

    I too have liriope. It is not a weed, however, it is quite invasive. I'm going to try the ...»
    vinegar to see if it works. Maybe will try it on spiderwort "babies" too.

This was a design job completed two years ago, just ran across the photos and thought I would share these images of the

entry foyer. I did the medallion design on the computer and the fabricators used the cad file to program the cuts of the stone. I was very happy with the results.

  • After we rebuilt the roof and installed four skylights we rebuilt the steps to the adjoining rooms and redid the floor coverings in a more appropriate manganese floor tile..
  • Prior to our renovation the existing windows were in danger of deterioration from exposure to the elements. Noe the area is an inviting family area as well as a comfortable entertaining spot.
  • These steps were awkward and dangerous before we redesigned them in this flowing design.

  • White is a non color and has contradictory interpretations.  In Western cultures it symbolizes innocence and purity, cleanliness. White means safety, purity, and cleanliness. White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity, and virginity. 15
  • Green is the color of nature symbolizing growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety and is believed to have great healing power. It is the most restful color for the human eye--can improve vision. 14

    Love the non-color. Always can change bedding, curtains, etc. for an entirely different look.
