Our knowledgeable staff here at Garden-Ville are available to answer many of the questions you might have about gardens, landscaping, and trees. Many problems with plants, however, cannot be responsibly diagnosed other than in person. We're located in central Texas and may not be familiar with the details of gardening in very different climate or soil zones. One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate. With that in mind we'll do our best to answer your question, but if we can't we'll be happy to help you find the appropriate resources or professionals in your area.

  • I have a 25'X50' vegetable garden that was invaded by all sorts of ants, including fire ants and by all sorts of grasses and burr producing/thorn producing weeds. I don't want to "poison" by garden with chemicals. What should I use to get rid of all these things in my garden and how much should I use? Planting season is almost here for the things I want to grow, so your timely response would be very much appreciated!

    Lawn Questions, Product Questions, Weed Control

    You should use the Garden-Ville Natural Weed Control, it is a mixture of 20% Vinegar and Orange oil that is great for killing off weeds in unwanted areas. It is a non specific herbicide so make sure that you apply directly to the weeds. After the weeds are dead I would suggest tilling the dead plant matter in with compost to give yourself a good planting area. After you have killed the weeds and tilled in the compost check your fire ant situation, if you are still having problems you can use the Garden-Ville Anti Fuego Soil Conditioner and drench the mounds at a rate of 4-6oz per gallon of water. Green Light also has a product called Fire Ant Control with Conserve. It is a granular that you apply around the mounds.
