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 live in Longview, East Texas, I have a centepede yard, about 1,000 sq ft that is covered with take-all-patch. I have not used the organic method of yard care but am starting this year. What would be your suggestion for treating my yard and getting it back into shape once again? What compost would you suggest I use in that I am not close to one of your stores. The recommended treatment up to this point has been fall treatment of peat moss and spring treatment of fundcide which obviously has not been successful and appears to me has made it worse Your help would be appreciated.

You will need to aerate and spread horticultural corn meal and compost on the lawn, any type of compost on the yard will do the trick, just make sure that the compost is cooked correctly or the ammonia content will kill off the grass. Repeat the process in the fall of this year and the spring of next year, the compost and corn meal will attack the fungus that is in the soil and will also build up the strength of the soil in the process.
