Q
I have two questions, can I use weed killer around pine trees with out harming them? What is an effective way to keep cats from using the lawn and the flower beds as a litter box?
Answer(s)
A
You had asked about using weed killer around pine tree: it can be applied , but you must be very careful to keep the weed killer from the pine trees.
You had also asked for an effective way to keep cats, from using the lawn and flower beds as letter boxes: this is a more difficult question -- you could buy a large dog; cats do not like to dig around in wet soil.
