Good morning, everyone. Last day of work here before I get to go home and well, work. Made the mistake of doing mulch early this year. Large maple tree dropped about 1.38 million seeds a few weeks back and now the mulch beds are a field of green as the seeds mostly took hold. So, it's time to pull all the new mulch and replace with new mulch. And I have an eviction notice to the rabbit squatters under my shed. These ef'ers have systematically taken down my grape vines and fig trees and are working on all types of flowers as well. Time for them to go

Round-up in mulch bed on leaves of sprouting seeds should not affect tree roots. YMMV. Read the instructions.

There is also Preen, which is a pre-emergent weed killer that does not harm any nearby plants like tees, shrubs and flowers. It will prevent new sprouts.

Preen was added when I did the mulch initially. As far as round-up, it's not touching them. I've tried a spectracide product too.

The thing with roundup is that you need to apply it twice, about two weeks apart to make sure you get the leaves of the sprouts when they are in "uptake" mode since it's a foliar application. Often Roundup works the first time because you happen to hit the leaves during uptake the first time and then assume it always works the first time.

Perhaps Ill give it another go. already have the new mulch, but I can always go deeper or find other places for it.

I did not do well today, at all. Only caught 1 fish big enough to keep.

However - since I am a regular now, and I always help fill other people's bags when I am doing well, I still went home with my limit of 5 Vermilion Snapper. The fellas hooked me up this time.

Nobody really did all that well today. A lot of people got 1 or 2 and didn't want to bother with it. That's how I got 5. 🇨🇮
