What weeds does Pendimethalin kill?
Broadleaf is the type of weed which Pendimethalin controls.
Specifically, the herbicide intends to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds which compete with field corn, cotton, peanuts, potatoes, rice, soybeans, sunflowers, and tobacco. It particularly is effective in controlling broadleaf plantain, Canada thistle, horseweed, lambsquarters, and velvetleaf. It will not be at all effective if the above-mentioned weeds are long-established in their location.
Depends on the type and some work in more than one way. For example boric acid is a stomach poison most bugs ingest when they groom, however, dusts can also clog the spiracles (holes in abdomen they breathe through) or dry out their exoskeletons (dessicants) Organophosphates act on their nervous systems and eventually they freeze (are unable to move) and starve. Contact sprays are simply absorbed through their bodies in most cases. Some insects eat the droppings of adults are are poisoned from adults who ate and passed poison bait, killing more than one generation.

What type of landscaping is best for an Italianate home?
I am an interior designer, with a specialty in historically accurate architectural design. In my opinion, you can go two ways with this. The Victorians were masters at over-ornamentalization and at mixing various styles together. The other route is to choose an Italian Reniassance garden style based on those of Palladian homes of the 16th century. I favour the second. Here is what I would do. Take a look at the site I include and get a general concept of what makes an Reniassance Garden, then on your smaller scale, take the elements of that, and incorporate them into your home. Any Italianate style will work perfectly with your home--all greenery, no flowers, symmetrical plantings, perhaps a centered fountain or birdbath of proper scale; using the centre of your home as the split point and mirroring each side exactly the same, terraces, and matching junipers, large lawns and hedges should give you a good Italianate style that is easy to maintain. Take a look at this site and it should give you the elements of Italianate landscaping. Do it on a small, economical and practical scale-it doesnt need to be overdone to accomplish what you want, and should be in proportion to your home size and lot size. Stay within the sandstone colour scheme for terraces, or gravelled areas. Hope it helps.

How do you grade a hill level?
== == The grade of a hill is measured as a percentage in the United States. This is simply the slope of the hill written in percent form. For example, if you have a hill that drops 200 feet over one mile (5280 feet) the grade would be 200/5280 = 0.0379, or a 3.8% grade.
Is owning a landscaping company profitable?
It can be! It really depends on how much work you're willing to put into it. You do need to be reliable, make professional bids and proposals to customers and market your company. I own my own small landscape maintenance company in Washington State. I've been at it along time and have a nice mix of commercial,multifamily and residential. The key is the size you want to be. Take it from me bigger is NOT always better. I'd rather have a few profitable accounts than a bunch of accounts that I'm just turning dollars. My commercial & multi-family accounts give me the steady cash flow and the residential accounts are used for filler.
You need to be a skilled marketer because customers often underestimate the amount of work to me done, which changes over time with the seasons and maturity of the plants.
Are pesticides better in growing grass?
Pesticides can be effective in controlling pests and diseases that may harm grass, leading to healthier, more robust growth. However, their use can also pose environmental and health risks, affecting beneficial insects and soil health. Organic or integrated pest management practices may offer safer alternatives while still promoting healthy grass growth. Ultimately, the decision to use pesticides should consider both the benefits and potential drawbacks.
