Yard Care

[Toe]

Any particulars?

For the most part, compost is compost - get whatever is cheapest. As long as it's fully composted (ie it's not halfway between mulch and compost) and doesn't have a bunch of rocks or anything, the rest of the differences are negligible. Oh, and fuck peat moss - it doesn't have any nutrients in it.

The bagged stuff from Home Depot or something will be way too pricey for doing your whole yard. Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist will usually have a few sources. Some municipalities have cheap compost available, like Omaha's Oma-Gro program. Otherwise, hit up Google.

You might consider using a compost spreader. The roller types leave an even layer, but it's pretty thin - thinner than what you'd want for doing a major lawn overhaul. If you've got a riding mower, maybe look into renting a tow-behind type.

The deodar cedar I planted a couple years ago never seemed too happy. It was like it dropped as many needles as it grew. I've been thinking about digging it up and planting something else. Today I notice that it looks even more barren, and on closer inspection I find that it's being absolutely devoured by red headed pine sawfly larvae. I am proceeding with a torch.
