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 neighbor who urinates on a Live Oak tree in the backyard on a regular basis ( atleast twice a day ). Does this harm the health of the tree in any way ? If so, what is the effect ?

    Urinating on the tree is not going to have any negative consequences for the tree. It actually adds nitrogen to the soil, which is one of the most important plant nutrients. Undiluted urine can burn grass, however, so if your neighbor is going in the same place you may notice dead grass around the spot. Also, if your neighbor is actually going on the trunk the benefits are going to be reduced. Most of the feeder roots are out further away, towards the dripline.
