Thanks. I'm going to go the hard prune route tomorrow and lop off half the main trunk so that I can reset and hopefully get some growth outward so it…

I'm in Adelaide and have 2 Sioux Crepe Myrtles that have been in the ground for almost 2 years. They were advanced plants when planted but they haven't really filled…

I'd like to German Smear/Mortar Wash an internal wall and the basic material is white mortar. However, I can't find white mortar for sale.

Interestingly the irrigation installer said "mainline is High Density poly & wiring conduit Medium Density, but over time they may get…

I'm re-landscaping my front yard and will have someone do the irrigation for me. To save costs I agreed to dig the trench for the main line. I chose to…
