No, other than having an allergic reaction to it. It's rot and so wearing good water-tight gloves is a must!

How do you stop mulch from sliding down steep banks?

You have to put something down to keep that from happening. Use whatever you have, tree branches, be nice if you had some rope that are tied in squares. Just something to hold it in place until it settles in. You have to be creative and use what you have on hand. I don't know anything about your climate or details, so that's about as far as I can go.


What would cause mushrooms to grow so soon in newly laid sod?

*It could be a couple of things. The mushrooms could have been under the ground you laid the sod on, however, if you have not seen mushrooms in that area in the past, that's probably not the cause. There could have been mushrooms growing on the farm where your sod was grown, though most farmers are careful to watch for and eliminate them. The most likely explanation is that the person installing your new lawn (or yourself) purchased soil or mulch that contained mushrooms to help fortify the ground before installing the grass. Your water and fertilizer simply helped to welcome them to their new home. *It could be old dead tree roots rotting if you sodded because of a tree removal. *Don't worry so much about mushrooms in your lawn. They may form beautiful fairy rings of darker grass. Consider them a blessing. Learn what they are. There are many lawn mushrooms that are edible. You may have some good ones to eat. You will never be able to kill them all, so enjoy them and look forward to their appearance every year. I collect and eat 5 different species from my own yard each year.


Are there scorpions in Iowa?

Not natively. However, there are pseudoscorpions. Pseudoscorpions are a common arachnid closely related to scorpions, mites, ticks and spiders, but they usually go unnoticed because of their small size. When they are noticed is when they accidentally invade homes and wander into sight. They are not a household pest because they cannot bite or sting and they do not attack the house structure, furniture or occupants. They may be an annoying nuisance, usually during the spring and summer, as an occasional "accidental invader." Only rarely are they a chronic pest problem. Like other arachnids, pseudoscorpions have 8 legs. In addition, they have a pair of enormous pincers (called pedipalps) on the front of the body that gives them a strong resemblance to the true scorpions. Unlike scorpions, pseudoscorpions are very small, usually less than 5 mm long, and they have no sting on the end of their flat, oval abdomens. Natural habitats for pseudoscorpions include under leaf litter and mulch, in moss, under stones and beneath tree bark. They have also been reported in bird nests and between siding boards of buildings. Because they are sometimes found among books, they are also known as "book scorpions." Pseudoscorpions are predaceous and therefore beneficial. They feed on other arthropods, particularly small insects and mites. Special treatments for control of pseudoscorpions are usually not warranted. Only in a persistent infestation should control be attempted. It would be difficult to prevent all invasion by pseudoscorpions but sealing gaps, cracks and other points of entry may help exclude them.


What difficulties did the cherry tree face in growing up?

Cherry trees, like most plants that produce plant parts (fruit, leaves, bark, roots, seeds, etc.) that are not poisonous, face many difficulties. The chief among them being that the plant is edible by other creatures. The more species of animals, insects, etc. out there that find the plant tasty, the more damage it is likely to suffer from having those tasty plant parts scraped, punctured (especially in the case of insects) or outright removed.In the case of the cherry fruit itself being removed, that is also a good thing if the fruit was ripe since whatever ate the fruit will likely deposit the cherry seeds on the ground (along with some nice organic fertilizer aka 'scat' if the creature ate the fruit seed and all) where it can get buried and have a chance of becoming a new cherry tree.Oddly enough, the ripe fruit is the only edible part of the plant for most animal and insect species, so the majority of the feeding damage to the plant happens to the fruit as it develops.Cherries are in the Prunus genus and are related to plums, apricots, peaches, etc. and share many of the same potential problems including bacterial and fungal infestations if conditions are right for them.When the seed is first deposited on the ground, it must be covered with a thin layer of mulch and soil soon before it roasts in the sun. Most of the places where cherry trees grow do not have intensely hot summers, so this is rarely a problem if the tree is growing in its natural habitat, but can be severe if its parent plant was transplanted to a more desert climate. If it is covered in time, then the seed must soak in water periodically and never dry out completely in order for germination to occur. From the time it germinates until it grows into a young tree with a tough outer bark, it will be highly susceptible to physical damage as well as the bacterial and fungal problems. Like all trees, it will suffer if the place where it begins to grow ever becomes less hospitable (drier, hotter, colder, soil becomes compacted - removing the air pockets that roots need to breathe etc) than it was when growth began.
