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.

One of the guiding principles of organic growing is adapting methods to the particularites of local soil and climate.

Hey Amy, I have 8 acres of pasture I've been cutting hay on for the past few years. It's 30 miles East of Victoria on black gumbo. I've not used any type of synthetics on it for the past 15 years. However, it was a rice fram before that. I'm looking for the end result to be less weeds and better grass. I have a small tractor with a 40 gal. spray rig with a 12' boom and can broadcast granular, as well. Question. What do I need to do to accomplish my results? Thank youu for your help. Roy Hargrave Edna,TX.

You can spray liquid horticultural molasses at a rate of 4 ounces per gallon of water to stimulate microbial activity in the soil, you can also land apply biosolids to increase the organic matter and microbes in the soil. Organic weed control is very limited, the idea is that once you have built up your soil health the hay crops will choke out the weeds.
