    I trim my lantana into bushes every couple of months so it stays under control. The trimming keeps them blooming year round. My question is what does everyone use to control the worms and caterpillars. I think they are moth caterpillars, not butterflies. They say to spray the entire leaves including the underside but that isn't possible for me because they are trimmed into small bushes. I have tried neem oil but would like to hear what everyone else uses to control this buggers. I am not opposed to insecticides. I do not have lacewings.

      It really depends on the cultivar that you planted. Some of them go down to 0F, some to 27F etc. If you can remember the name of the cultivar, you can Google by searching the cold hardiness. The great thing is that if they are perennial, you don’t have to worry about them being invasive. 😉

    The key to pressure washing a wood fence or deck is only use an electric with no higher than 3000 psi. Pine wood is cheap but spend your money on cedar fencing. Will last a lot longer. As far as the staining, Behr is garbage. Always go with Thompsons water Seal. I'm going to use your method of using the heavy duty sprayer with the All mix & the 30 second cleaner. Pool cleaners tend to have more harmful chemicals than salt that will kill grass as well as almost all plants. I've been a landscaper for 36 years. Cover all your plants and grass areas with cloth or plastic tarps. Great video & hello from Seattle!

      It might work for that because it isn’t going to be touched regularly. Is there any way to test on something similar just so you can see the actual results.

Mostly are succulents and other drought tolerant plants. Planted them 7 years ago and they are very lush. The tree doesn't seem to be bothered by them at all. Also I want to add that the young leaves of the Chinese pistache are edible. My mom likes to pick the young ones to eat in her Asian dishes.

    Great video, thank you! A couple of questions I have: Did you have to use the wire brush on all 3 fixtures, or only on the one you painted? And did you have to sand it after using the wire brush? I was hoping to only use primer on the chrome vanity fixtures that I plan on buying (because the perfect lights only come in chrome🙄😖), but it sounds like sanding is also required and maybe also a wire brush…?

    • @homeandlifewithcynthia
      @homeandlifewithcynthia 2 месяца назад

      Hi there! Yes I scuffed with the wire brush for all 3. However, It depends on the look you are happy with. If you want a more realistic metal look then the way I did mine is better but the primer does hold up well. If I had to do it all over again, I would find an old chrome piece that I wouldn’t mind damaging and test on that first with the primer and see if I liked the look. If you do, you could save yourself time and a lot of work. Hope this helps.

      I’m not a spruce expert but consider the size at maturity for both width at the bottom and if they’ll touch up at the top. I’ve seen spruce trees staggered in 2 rows for maximum privacy and to ensure they do have ample space to grow. It depends on the spruce variety. They look beautiful staggered and trees end up really healthy. I urge you to research that. ☺️
