5. Given the distance from the driveway to the planting area I highly recommend hiring day -labor support for <br />planting and mulching activities. If you do, you will need to directly supervise and oversee quality control. <br />6. VERY IMPORTANT: Due to the late season planting project, summer irrigation is necessary. Install temporary <br />irrigation once all plantings are intalled. If using soaker hoses, install these prior to applying mulch so hoses are <br />covered by the mulch. Water 1-2x week in cool weather; 3-4x week in drought/hot weather (80+ deg.). <br />7. Keep areas around trees and shrubs in the planting zone clear of competition from weeds by hand -pulling or <br />grubbing (with minor disturbance to soils). <br />Knotweed Control Recommendations <br />You have some control options in regards to the Bohemian or Japanese knotweed patch in the backyard: A) Apply <br />multi -year herbicide with either stem injection to mature stems (with pure concentrate Round-up/Glyphosate) or <br />foliar application (with diluted Round-up/Glyphosate) OR B) Cover infestation area with loose black fabric for a <br />minimum of 5 years in order to smother and inhibit photosynthesis and keep maintained.
