Why is one sprinkler valve is skipped during watering cycle?
Filed Under Maintenance & Repairs | Comments Off
My landscaper replaced a solenoid and now it seems that that valve is skipped over during a watering cycle. I checked the wires and it seems like they are correct: the colored wired is connected to the ground wire and the other wire is connected to the next valve in the line. The time clock was not changed, but the valve for that section cannot be turned on from the time clock. What is wrong?

Does beech wood have to age before it can be split?
Filed Under Garden & Landscape | Comments Off
I have some fresh logs & they’re far harder to split than ash or maple. I have read that beech splits easily, and I trust the landscaper who gave th the wood, so that is my best guess.
I am trying to avoid using a woodsplitter. I prefer to use a maul/ax and split by hand. I may be crazy, but I sit at a desk all day it it relaxes me.

Should I over-seed my lawn even though we have a lawn watering ban?
Filed Under Garden & Landscape | Comments Off
I live in Charlotte, NC and we can’t water. However, my landscaper says that with the cooler weather and the morning dew, it will be fine. My lawn really needs over-seeding, but it’s a big investment and not sure if I will be throwing my money away.

What is the best job for someone who just likes to get high all the time?
Filed Under Other - Careers & Employment | Comments Off
My friend is a hard worker, but he graduated college with a degree in scoial sciences and basically no job skills. He basically has lived in his bong since he was 17. He’s a great kid, but basically just wants a job,not a career. He thinks a waiter is a good job if he’s high all the time, but I was thinking maybe a landscaper or something. Any other suggestions?

How to get rid of bent grass ?
Filed Under Garden & Landscape | Comments Off
My front lawn looks great except for these patches of lighter colored grass my landscaper says is “bent grass”. He claims that it comes from using cheap seed (which is entirely possible, as our builder was fairly notorious for taking shortcuts with landscaping) and there really isn’t much you can do about it short of tearing it out and reseeding in the fall.
Its widespread enough that I cant see tearing it out…it would mean tearing up almost the entire lawn if we wanted to get it all.
Any other options ? I’m not against chemical herbicides but I’d rather avoid using them if possible.
For reference…we live in New England and the lawn is a mix of Kentucky Bluegrass and fescue.
