The main substances found in engine coolant are water and ethylene glycol (antifreeze). Other additives such as corrosion inhibitors and lubricants are also typically included to help protect the engine and cooling system components. It is important to maintain the proper ratio of coolant to water to ensure efficient engine operation.

A weather station model is a device that collects data on various atmospheric conditions, such as temperature, humidity, air pressure, wind speed, and precipitation. This data is used to monitor and forecast weather patterns in a specific location. Weather stations can be either manual or automated, and they play a crucial role in meteorology and climate science.

It's generally best to wait a few days after a freeze before watering plants, as the soil may still be frozen and overwatering can damage the roots. Monitor the plants for signs of dehydration, such as wilting, before watering. If in doubt, it's best to consult a local gardening expert for advice specific to your plant species and climate.

The best time to plant Bermuda grass seed is in late spring to early summer when soil temperatures are consistently above 65°F. This allows the seed to germinate and establish successfully. Make sure to water the seed regularly to keep the soil moist during the germination process.

Tall fescue is a popular and well-suited grass seed for eastern Virginia due to its tolerance to heat, drought, and foot traffic. It is low maintenance and can thrive in various soil types commonly found in the region. Additionally, Kentucky bluegrass and perennial ryegrass are also suitable options for a lush and resilient lawn in this area.

The black velvety substance on your holly bush is likely sooty mold, which is a fungal growth that feeds on the honeydew secreted by certain insects like aphids or scale bugs. To get rid of it, you will need to treat the underlying insect infestation first. You can use insecticidal soap, neem oil, or horticultural oil to control the pests and wash off the sooty mold with a gentle stream of water. Promoting good air circulation and maintaining plant health will also help prevent a recurrence.

In some areas, holly shrubs are protected plants by law due to their importance for wildlife habitat and biodiversity. It's important to check with local regulations or conservation authorities to understand the specific protections in place for holly shrubs in your region.

Rhododendron leaves may turn brown due to a variety of reasons including overwatering, underwatering, nutrient deficiencies, pests, diseases, or environmental stressors like direct sunlight or cold temperatures. Assess the plant's care routine, check for signs of pests or diseases, and adjust watering and light conditions accordingly to help prevent further browning of the leaves.

The scientific term for foliage is "foliage." It refers to the leaves of a plant collectively, and there is no specific scientific name beyond that.

The best way to be sure you get the same as the parent is to take a cutting or a graft. If you grow from seed you wont know what you will get unless it is a true species.

In the fall tends to be the best time to transplant firebush [Hamelia patens], and indeed just about any plant. Specifically, a popular autumnal month tends to be October. The reason lies in getting the plant adjusted to the new location before the cold weather sets in. By the time the cold weather is over, the plant feels at home in the new location and is ready to bloom on old wood or put out new growth.

It is best to move (more properly, "transplant") any type of tree or shrub when it is still dormant, but a bit before it will begin new growth in the spring. Here in south Louisiana, that is late January to early February.

I've heard that it's best to do in fall, and water lots.

by putting old would on the stump and burn it

It depends how big he is. Usually he can cut off any part of your bushes overhanging his property back to the boundary. He sould offer you the trimmings back. UK law.

Mulching, removing, spraying, and using landscape fabric or mulch are ways to kill weeds without killing the myrtle among which the weeds are growing. Removal can be done -- but carefully so as not to damage or destroy the woody plant's body parts -- by hand, hoe, rake, or shovel. Spraying must involve a non-residual, specific, target herbicide so as not to adversely affect the Myrtus genus member in question.

If you are trying to get the vines to spread, trim the areas you do not want them go, as often as you see fit. The untrimmed "runners" will continue to grow towards the early sun if possible. Actually moving the "runners" by hand, and guiding them in the direction you want them to travel, will help alot. Honeysuckle is a VERY hearty plant. You really have to go out of your way to kill it. P.S. If you do not like bees "hovering" around, please go out of your way and transplant or terminate the plant.

Have some burning bushes dying while others are doing great. Why?

Your area is great for the azalea. I would make sure that you have a moist environment for them in a shaded area and I would recomend that you use a Mushroom compost soil to plant them in. Make sure that you mix the soils well and fertilize with Holly Tone. Azaleas love acidic conditions.

I would start by using cayenne pepper in the beds and use plenty of it. If this doesnt work I would try and find some Crimson barberry shrubs and place them in the bed.

I have just spent the morning at the garden center looking at ninebark trees. The average looks to be 10-15 feet tall 6-8 feet wide

A woody plant that grows healthily within the confinements of a container is what a container-grown shrub is. A shrub may look as thick and wide as a bush or as branch- and trunk-defined as a small tree. Either way, some realize their life cycles in bare ground whereas others will tolerate the restrictions of such containers as barrels and pots.

A container grown shrub is a shrub grown in a container for all year round sale.
