Good to see you found your way here, @Cricket. Welcome aboard :) Yeah, anything in the mint family (square stem) can and will spread. Best to do those in raised beds or containers.

#9 looks like prairie coneflower #6 looks like Rhododendron

I posted the question in the Pre-emergents for grasses thread, but this could probably benefit from its own thread Essentially the question gets to "what do you use for a grass seed / fertilizer / lime /... spreader and what do you like or hate about it?" or anything else you want to share...

@Grampa Greenjeans I have about 10 acres; maybe 2 of that as lawn and trails, the rest being tree farm and prairie restoration areas. I've been wanting to make my lawn and trails look nicer and reduce the "weeds". I have a tow behind sprayer (Chapin 97761E) now that I'll be using for spraying...

Looks like they have a FB group too: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wintersown/ I know people that do this for prairie seeds for sure, but not veggies

Because it pleases me **he says with an uptick, in kind of a questioning way** 🤣 . Honestly it's more about habitat and ecosystem health than anything else. From a young age I was inspired from a regional park ranger to really do what I can to care for our environment (unless someone like...

The place I would get them they are equivalent, but I could see boutiques charging a bit more

It just so happen that I actually have a lot of friends in ecological restoration and naturalist roles at a city, county and National Park Service level and have worked in executing prairie and woodland restorations projects for the last decade ;). I'm even in talks with a professor I know to...

I spent about $450 two years ago on a good amount of seed for prairie wildflowers & grasses \that I want my land filled with instead of giant foxtail and canary reed. I chose 5 plots across the land to cut to dirt and spread the seed mixed with a substrate of manure. Ideally they'd all bloom...

They did :). The rush on seeds last year increased prices in some places this year

Well, I spent $30 at Bakers and then $90 at Seed Savers but if top dressing my driveway with class 5 is under budget I might spend another $150 on a flat of prairie grass and wildflowers. I also spent about $500 on fruit trees.

Yeah. I've used it some bare patches of dirt for grass seed dispersal, but when I've tried it in garden soil it just clumps up. Maybe it'll be better as I work on those soils over the years

this thing

Spot seeding is the only use I see for it for high traffic areas. I tried using it in a garden bed and I feel it just got clogged.

I have most things started. Peppers, tomatoes and some strawberries. I also have tree seedlings for the farm. Later will be more strawberries, cucumbers, zucchini & watermelon. Oh and corn.. I think that's all I'm doing, besides a few hundred trees and maybe a thousand or so sunflowers

So I've started my peppers and tomatoes as well as all my tree farm buckeyes and some catalpas - probably need to start another 20 or so. For the first time this year I'm going to try watermelons and I'm curious for you how far ahead of frost you start those. I'm assuming they're kind of in...

Probably a hand tiller. It does a job, but I've used it maybe twice. We'll see how often I use the garden weasel. I bought that last year after a friend told me how much they love theirs.

Well, I can't speak to the zucchini but I have grown tomatoes and peppers in my basement for a few years and the NEED a 10+ gal pot. You can grow them in a 5 gal, but you're just starving the plant and a 10-15gal is really ideal, 15 being the correct choice So, that being said, tomatoes grow...

I have the transfer shovel model of theirs and love it. It has held up for a few years of regular use
