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?

Gardening: I've been scratching my head over why so many mushrooms have popped up in a certain area of my zoysia lawn and planting
beds.. After some research I realized its the result of decomposing roots from a problem maple tree I removed almost three years ago. The mushrooms are good for the lawn because they're helping decompose all of the old roots but yes, bad for kids and pets if the mushrooms are poisonous.
Gardening: I have a tree with a split in the trunk that I want to cut down.
The only thing that is stopping me is, there is a nest in the top of it. Is there anything I should be worried about?
