Re: Good news on buttercups

[Guest guest]



Yes very much clay. When I first moved here I had to relearn everything I knew about growing anything.

I had never seen 'dirt' like this before. I hate it.

Good news on buttercups

I think, like a lot of lawn weeds, the key is to eliminate the factors that are causing them to thrive. Buttercups like damp areas, so maybe there's a drainage problem that can be addressed?

I guess it's why we don't have them here, waaaay too much sand, if I remember Kentucky soil rightly it's clay.

Oh, I have nightmares still about shoes so full of clay I can barely walk, I was 8-11 then. We had to have a scraper by the porch, can you add sand to your soil? I lived close to Louisville, [pronounced Loo' ville].

I am on the other side from Lou-vul..lol

I have my share of sand here too. I need good old BLACK or at least brown dirt. The other things that can survive are weeds.

Yup, red clay, yuck! Well if you add manure and leaf mold to it it will be so much nicer, but I hear that butttercups can be best killed with squirts of vinegar. Vinegar is a very strong chemical and it will kill nearly everything, so be very careful.
