I’ve already converted half our lawn to native trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. Looking for new ideas to plant native ground covers around lawn to continue diminishing the lawn. Maybe Golden Ragwort on some edges that will creep into the lawn and s as fret blooming can be cut once or twice a year. Thx for the lovely video.

Thanks for the video. What if you don't have an ideal yard and don't have that distance. Can you do 2 incher per foot for 3 feet? I am very limited as to what I can do. There is definitely a negative slope. Landlord is to cheap and have a basement suit. CAn't really raise the ground that much and was thinking digging down a bit to create a V type slope and a dig a channel for the water to try and flow away from the house

THE SALAD BAR THE FINAL THING TO NEVER FLUSH DOWN IS TOILET PAPER. TOILET PAPER DOES NOT BRAKE DOWN LIKE PAPER TOWLS DO. PAPER TOWLS, KITCHEN TOWLS, & KLEENEX all brake down & is safe for the sewer.. NEVER FLUSH TOILET PAPER, TOILET PAPER is not designed to be flushed down the toilet.

@mmsd 9 ай бұрын
The best option to grade around your home is to use screened topsoil off the pile at a local landscape or garden center. This will be sourced locally and most likely a native silty clay loam that will be easy to work with, settle into a desired semi-permeable state, and will support vegetation.

I live in the California High Desert. Best lawn and shrub fertilizer I have ever used. Keeps my fescue lawn green in the Winter and doesn't burn in the summer. I use this 4 times a year in each season, Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. Getting harder to find in tbe 32 lb bags here where I live. HD used to have it, but no longer. I liked the very small pellets. Wasn't able to find it anywhere near me last year, so I got a different brand. The pellets were to big making it easy for my dogs to eat and it has a strong odor. Milorganite did not have a strong odor. I'm on the hunt for it, It's the only fertilizer I want to use. I have to have it.

THE epa encourages me to flush more PAPER TOWLS down the toilet. TOILET PAPER IS A BIG NO NO!!! maybe if companys like MILWAUKEE SEWER DISTRACT & other sewer treatment plants quit raising prices all the stupid time. i might cut back on flushing GOLF BALLS, KLEEN NEX & PAPER TOWLS... They jack up the prices the more PAPER TOWLS i flush down.. to make sewer plants like yours to work TO EARN THAT EXTRA money from JACKING UP PRICES... I use only PAPER TOWLS NO TOILET PAPER, THAT CRAP IS VERY NASTY..... THE MORE sewer plants raise prices MONTHLY the more PAPER TOWLS & GOLF BALLS THEY WILL GET... so i have to do my part for your sewer plant.. FLUSH MORE PAPER TOWLS DOWN THE TOILET.... possibly more golf balls to... i will be sure to flush down KITTY LITTER & MEDICATION.... very good for the sewer.. helps keep the pipes clean..

What about residual food (tiny bits of food stuck on bottom of pot but not a lot) because my sink is where i wash the dishes, and my toilet is literally my kitchen..?
@mmsd 11 ай бұрын
Installing a garbage disposal in your sink can help avoid clogs from food when rinsing dishes. Dispose of all fats, oils, and grease in the garbage. This includes butter, cooking oils, fry oil, oils, dairy, and grease left from cooking meats and/or anything else that gels or solidifies at room temperature. While these will go down the drain or toilet when warm or with soap, but as they cool or mix with water they solidify in your pipes creating a clog that is very messy and difficult to remove. Never pour or flush hard chemicals, paint, oil, pesticides, cement, plaster, medications, or more than the recommended amount of drain cleaner down your drains. www.mmsd.com/what-you-can-do/what-not-to-flush

Ideally, the ground should drop one inch for every one foot that you move away from the house for the first 5-to-10 feet around your house. While this is not always possible, the ground should never be sloping upwards as you move away from your house foundation. www.mmsd.com/what-you-can-do/managing-water-on-your-property/proper-grading-around-your-home

Toilet paper is specifically designed to break down in the water. Although paper towels, napkins, and facial tissue appear to be the same material, but they do not disintegrate in water like toilet paper. Any items flushed other than toilet paper can create costly clogs in your home pipes, our community sewer pipes, and our water reclamation facilities. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) encourages all Americans to only flush toilet paper, not disinfect wipes or other non-flushable items that should be disposed of in the trash. www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-encourages-americans-only-flush-toilet-paper

Type of Soil for Grading Around Your Home Bagged topsoil is not the best choice for grading around your home (it’s usually a compost mixture higher in organic content) and is expensive in volume. The better choice is a screened topsoil off the pile at a local landscape or garden center. This will be sourced locally and most likely a native silty clay loam that will be easy to work with, settle into a desired semi-permeable state and support vegetation.

@mmsd Жыл бұрын
It may be tempting to put the rain garden in a part of the yard where water already ponds, but don't! A rain garden aims to improve infiltration, and the wet patches show where infiltration in the yard is slow. Check out our rain garden manual to help guide you in installing your rain garden. www.mmsd.com/what-we-do/green-infrastructure/rain-gardens

Our simple answer to your question is Do Not Flush Wipes. MMSD finds clogs in sewer pipes that appear to be from wipes and urges the communities we serve to only flush the 3 P's (pee, poo, and toilet paper) to avoid costly clogs in your pipes at home, the sewers, and the water reclamation facilities.

I bought a newly constructed house-the trend is to build very close to each other, so I have a small yard. My lawn is not flat and my downspouts formed a river that flowed to my egress window (from the detached garage). I got a patio and I had my downspouts professionally buried. I no longer have this problem.

Not a bad video. But as a professional caulker for more tha 40 years there are some minor points. 1. 1/4” depth is wrong. The true rule of thumb is 1/4” minimum 1/2” maximum and within these limits strive for 1/2 the depth of the width 2. NEVER USE SAND ON TOP OF THE JOINT. It restricts the sealants ability to expand and compress 3. NEVER USE SAND AS A FILLER ALWAYS USE THE PROPER SIZE BACKER ROD Failing to do any one of these will cause the sealant to fail prematurely.
