I could use some pointers. I’m getting close to having the interior renovation finished on our house, the old house is sold. Which means that My next project is to get our yard in good shape by the start of growing season.
this last fall when we got the house back from the renters the yard was completely overgrown, with trumpet vines and 50 years of gardening projects covering the fence, walls, and sidewalk. I’ve removed the bulk of it, to include 6 trees. I have 3 more trees to remove, and would like my end result to be a solid base of grass. Low maintenance is the key. In my mind that means I really need to kill everything before reseeding and planting what we want in the yard.
may idea is to burn everything, especially the borders and pictured areas of the yard, to prevent the garbage from coming back. Good idea? Brush clearing spray didn’t do anything. My thought is how do I prevent burning down my/my neighbors fence or catching the neighborhood on fire in the process? Do I just use a propane weed burner and a bucket of water, and burn a square foot at a time? Then perhaps till the ground and burn again before fertilizing and seeding? Do I stand to benefit from burning my front yard?
