What are the pros and cons of landscaping plastic?
I have always used black heavy plastic for landscaping. You will not have grass or weeds growing into the plastic like you do other material. When you want to freshen up a job, or remove or change your rock or mulch, it is easy to pick it all up from the plastic. Then you can add new or clean your rock or mulch and put it back on the plastic. 26 years and still using plastic.
Pros:
1. Moisture Retention
2. Weed Control
3. Winter Protection
Cons:
1. Requires Reapplication
2. Compaction

What are lighting precautions regarding hydroponic gardening?
Check for exposed electrical wires, and worn cords. Keep the cord's path to the socket out of the way of traffic patterns where family and pets may trip over them. Keep cords away from heat and light sources. Run the lights 24/7 only for seedlings. And in that case, use the low heat of fluorescent or LED grow lights. For other life stages of plants, use a timer to run the light 18 hours and then to shut it off for 6. Regularly check for, and repair, cracks and tears in reservoirs and tanks. Keep the electrical ballast more than splashing distance away.
LED lighting is said to be best for hydroponic gardening.It consume very small power compared to other grow lights. They do not generate much heat. The LED bulbs will last for years and they can be adjusted for the light spectrum needed, whether budding or growth.

How much compost is needed to cover one-fourth of an acre to a four inch depth?
One acre is equal to 43560 square feet, so a quarter of that is 10,890 feet. One yard of compost is 27 cubic feet, so a yard will cover three times that to a depth of four inches (one third of a foot), or 81 square feet. 10,890 divided by 81 is 134.4, so you will need 134.4 yards of compost to cover a quarter of an acre to a depth of four inches.
What is artificial fertilizer made from?
many are synthesized from industrial chemicals like ammonia.
Composite farming was a style that was once the hallmark of agricultural production in the state of Kerala, India. It has been described as many layers of many crops. The point was to leave no stretch of land uncultivated. Cultivation took place in horizontal and vertical layers. For example, one area would have trees. Below the trees would be grown plants that were not direct sunlight-needy. Below these plants would be plants that needed very little or no sunlight. Soil type was matched with plants that would thrive in the particular conditions, be they acceptable or poor. For example, elsewhere in India lands with a soil pH of 3.5-4 would not have been cultivated. In Kerala, however, those lands were planted, most profitably and successfully, with cashew and rubber. Both crops could handle the very acidic soil.
What is the definition of pesticides?
A pesticide is a chemical substance sprayed on crops to kill insects, pests and bacteria. The chemical agents called pesticides include herbicides (for weed control), insecticides, and fungicides. More than half the pesticides used in the United States are herbicides that control weeds. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) estimates indicate that 86 percent of U.S. agricultural land areas are treated with herbicides, 18 percent with insecticides, and 3 percent with fungicides. The amount of pesticide used on different crops also varies. For example, in the United States, about 67 percent of the insecticides used in agriculture are applied to two crops, cotton and corn; about 70 percent of the herbicides are applied to corn and soybeans, and most of the fungicides are applied to fruit and vegetable crops.

How do landscaping companies define spring cleanup?
This depends on the company and customer. First start with the customer, what are they looking for? Then the company what services do they offer? Some customers want more than others and some companies do more or less than others. If you want to be cheap you will get less. Not only in ammount but quality too. A clean up can be done for $80 or $200 for the same property, it just depends on what you want. When I sell a spring or fall clean up it consists of the following:
Leaf clean up of entire property(beds and lawn areas)
Deep edge bed trenching
Shrub pruning
Inspection of all plant materials
Replacement of dead plant materials
Debris/Garbage pick up of entire property
Application of a Pre-emergent for weed control
Mulching of all beds The price would depend on what you want. Some do not want edging or mulch. That would be cheaper. Plants being replaced are extra cost. Spring clean up is general, the individual services are what should be requested and priced out for you. I hope this helped.
