Landscaping my yard... Need some help

[Bradman]

I'm wanting to add some bushes/shrubs around my house and need some help. They used to have CD's you could purchase that would let you take a photo of your house and add items into the image. I can't find that now. Does anyone know where I can find a CD like this? I can't afford a landscaper. Thanks.

There are several apps you can download on your phone built for landscape design.

Okay, I haven't messed with my phone. I'll check it out. Thank you.

 

[Bradman]

Oh yeah. That's what I was trying to do. That looks great. Thank you.

Spent over a grand on landscape plants last year in the front. Looked great. Until 4 weeks ago when I put nitrogen around them. A quarter of them died. Haha what a dumb a..

Call around to the landscaping companies. I used an on staff designer from a local place and since I bought stuff there the service was free. They did a great job complete with drawings so I knew where to place stuff since I was doing my own work.

I’ve been using urea (nitrogen) for decades. The trick is to go light with it and water immediately after.

I used 47% nitrogen.

Use compost

Great stuff, just use less. By the way, where’d you find 47/0/0?

My friend and customer spreads farm pastures and crops. He has all the equipment to do chemicals and ground improvements. He mixes his own blends for bulk spreader trucks. I usually pay nothing for many items as we trade services and products like decades ago. We neither keep track of who comes out for the better.

Yesterday I gave him a 28’ with 300 lb rating Werner ladder and I’ll later use his tractor in the fall.
