Landscape Manager, retired, for a major University in Phila. Consultant and Designer for Various Local Landscape Firns. Speciality is designing Model Home Landscapes for firms such as Toll Bros. in Pa., N.J., Del. and JPI in developments from Houston to Maine. I can not longer answer questions about perfect patch. If you wish to spend $6.00/sq.ft. for crap they claim grows anywhere and any state go do it. The latest nonsense is they are cheaper than sod. Sod cost about $3.00 per ft for installation. Folks you buy what you want. Do you think that the same grass grows in S Calif and Maine? Do you think the grass (Micro Grass) is the same that grows in full sun and shade? Pet Urine is amazingly "absorbed"? Best I can do is offer you a sound and proven program of renovation with products that in the end are less than that $30 for 50 sq ft. Crap is crap - like a duck, does is look like one, does it walk like one, sound like one? I need areas and space you need to redo.

  • Sand Bag Levee(s)?

    First, may all the people in the Mid-West be safe from harm.

    Then, they claim that a million plus sandbags were used to help the existing Levees in the areas affected. One woman claimed this is the third time being used. Would it not make business sense to do something that would make those "sandbags" a perm structure for protection versus rushing to aid? This seems like putting your finger in the dike.

    If it happens once, oh well. Happens twice, oh no. Happens three times in a few years something more perm has to be done. Is it possible to leave the sandbags behind with braces of some sort to be in prep of such and situation? Just seems we are spending Emerg. monies to repeat the same action in the same areas time and time again. By now either the Govt. or some business has a more perm solution. Any ideas as to how to solve the ongoing problem. I frankly would invest in any venture with a reasonable chance of success.

  • Tina from N. Jersey I have the answer, but, deleted my response. gjgjobs@yahoo.com for a response.?

    I hit the wrong botton. The Arborvitae will do nothing for you but cause problems. contact me at gjgjobs@yahoo.com again, (I promise not to delete) and we can solve this problem without using "swamp" plants.

    I'll give you plantings that are both evergreen and flowering in both trees and shrubs for your area. Sorry for the disconnect, but, the phone rang and one hand does not follow the other when that happens. Hope to hear from you. Jerry G. at gjgjobs@yahoo.com.

  • God bless those that lost their lives at VT, but, does anyone buy the explaination?

    Two handguns, the ammo, the clips, etc. With two guns and full clips you can shoot from the area of 30-32 bullets. That is using both hands at the same time. How do you reload both with both hands involved with the guns? I have no doubt that the weapons recovered were used, however, the overall explaination stinks. The math simply does not work. One student was struck twice, the Brave Professor three times. With that and the shots that missed we are looking at well over a hundred shots from a gun that generally has six-seven bullets and another that has a clip of fifteen. There had to be an automatic or semi involved in this tragedy. My wife and I have been praying for the souls and families of those struck by this event. May God embrass each and all of them. Am I alone in the thought that aside from the act, the explaination does not make sense?
