Man Kills 40,000 sq ft Lawn

Here's a link to a CNN story about a guy that accidentally killed his 40,000 sq ft lawn with a product he thought was just for weed control. (sorry about the ad at the beginning) ...»
http://www.cnn.com/video/standard.html?/vid...

I'm also posting the label on the product.

Do you think the label was sufficient to tell him what he needed to know?

    Didn't read the directions, specifically says "do not use in lawns or for lawn renovations"

What would you add?

We will be tearing out and re-doing the front beds in a few months when we replace our basement windows. I have never been happy with the overall look of the front but especially the R. ...»
side (pic#1.) The driveway is on that side and we have an additional spot for parking in front of the house (you can see the edge of a truck in the pic.) I feel like there needs to be vertical interest but am at a loss. This area is on the South side and gets the late day sun (starting at around 4 'til sunset). How would you continue or incorporate your idea into the left..I'm anal about symmetry. By the way, Hubs does not like bushes and any tree ideas need to be less than 6ft.

  • The side yard before shot.  The old retaining wall and fence sat at least 2 feet onto our neighbor's property.  They are grand folks, and would never make an issue of it, but it was clear that any new fencing/walls needed to correct it 4
  • The view of the backyard from the south side of the house. And it is already missing the very, very sad 'privacy fence'--a failing wooden mess that our lab found himself running right through when chasing a ball!

  • The side yard as it looks now. All fencing is repurposed and was purchased off of Craigslist. 6
  • There had been some attempt to deal with the slope. The timbers were quite well rotted and collapsing in places.
  • This the west end of our yard as seen from just inside our alley gate. 1
  • Gate from side yard with upcycled (what a nice way to say we hauled concrete rubble from the dump) pathway. There was a gate of sorts here, but nothing more than a muddy path. 3
  • Flagstone stepping stones lead to a lower patio. Steps take you to the upper patio and the backporch.
  • An old view from the neighbor's backyard.  After demolishing those rotting timbers, we found a collapsing cement retaining wall behind it.

Backyard Mega Makeover

When we bought this old house three summers ago, the backyard was a nightmare. I remember standing on the back porch with the realtor and saying, "Wow, this could be beautiful." She looked at me as if I were out of my mind. ;-)

uses for pottery

Leftover pots and grandaughters old bike become a place to keep garden supplies. Not as fancy as the other pot people bikes but I am a quirky perswon so it works for me.
