Garden & Landscape - August 2006

We have 11 gallons per minute from our well for our sprinkler system and have 3 heads per zone. In other comments, it was said that if mushrooms appear or if there is a yellow tinge to the grass, it may be overwatering, is this true? Also, the leaves on our newly planted trees this year are black on the ends and curled up. Is this a sign of overwatering? We put pvc pipe near the roots so we could deep water and we water the grass and trees every other day from 2 - 3 hours for each zone. We were told the problem was salt damage due to the alkali in our water so have used Muracid twice this summer and it helped with one maple but the pear, locust and autumn blaze maple really look bad. We don't want to lose them and need advice on how to water and how much to water. Thanks!

How can my grass look so alive and green before I cut it, then it looks like it has patches that are dead??? I thought that It might be I was cutting it to close to the ground, but I get the same result when I leave two or three inches of length.

Currently have a Bermuda grass lawn and am located in Imperial County, CA. Bought two trays of St Augustine grass about a month ago (mid July). Tried breaking it up and spreading plugs around. Now almost all of it is dead. Would prefer to do it right the next time.

I've heard that to make a crate myrtle fuller, you can cut the limbs. How does this work, and what time of year is best to do it?
