No, crepe myrtle is not toxic to horses. However, if a horse eats too much it can cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
The best way to transplant Myrtle ground cover is to prepare the area where you want to plant. Dig up the soil, and make new holes for the ground cover. Use a shovel to dig up the ground cover, gently remove it from the ground and put it into the new holes. Water it well.
No, alyssum is neither poisonous to people or animals. Its delicate clusters of tiny flowers in shades of white, pink, and purple bloom from early spring to early fall and make an excellent ground cover.
Because, the ground is cover with hyphae.
A ground cover is a lowing growing plant(s) that spreads quickly. Grass is a common ground cover plant, but there are many flowering plants that are used for ground cover. The purpose of a ground cover is to prevent erosion and add beauty.
From personal experience with a 300 sf area: Before planting, spray the area with grass and weed killer, hopefully one that is environmentally friendly. Then plant the myrtle and mulch between the plants. The few weeds that subsequently come through are picked by hand , when the weeds are young before they become established. Keep at it until the myrtle fills in, after which there should be even fewer weeds coming through, which can be picked by hand.
This is an okay home for horses. The ideal home would be one that also has cover for getting out of the weather. The answer above is mostly correct. Horses do need cover, but the also need a clean field that has no poisonous plants (weeds) or rock, etc. lying around. Horses need room to run, so make sure the field is large enough to fit a horse. Also, make sure the fencing is safe, without wires or spikes that could hurt the animal. Otherwise don't leave the horse out there alone, they need love!
Vegetation cover is the smaller trees and plants that cover the ground.
They do not need to be removed because they act like mulch on the ground cover. The leaves will actually nourish the ground cover and provide nutrients.
the creation of more ground to cover....
I would call trout lilies more of a wild flower rather than a ground cover.
A homophone for "put in the ground and cover with dirt" could be "buried."
