Appropriate NG for outdoor / landscaping questions?

Posted by Jason Carlton on October 2, 2009, 4:24 pm

Before I start asking, I wanted to ask if this is an appropriate NG
for questions regarding things like lawn repair, tree trimming, weed /
bee removal, and other landscaping questions? If not, can you guys
refer me to one?

It works here too. Plenty of questions and answers on such. Like, now is
the time many trees get trimed (depends on type, some trim in spring). Now
is best time to fertilize and reseed a lawn (people far north of zone 7 are
past that optimal time)

Hehe most recent one was mine. Lost a tree (split in a windstorm) and the
guys and gals here helped me with ideas for suitable ones to replace it. We
are looking hard at apple or redbud. Right size for us. Oh and another
fellow is looking for a tree company in Salem NH that does small jobs but
I'm too far away to be able to help him.

Not to go off topic, but have you considered Japanese maple trees? I
had a tulip tree planted too close to the house, and now it's starting
to damage the roof, so 'm replacing it with a Fireglow that's only
6-10' when fully grown. Check it out:
