Disclaimer

Yardlie guides are general information for home gardeners, written by the Yardlie Editorial Team. They are not professional advice and they do not replace advice from a qualified gardener, arborist, electrician, builder or other professional for your specific situation.

• Products and chemicals: always read and follow the product label. We never give mixing or dilution instructions. If a label conflicts with a guide, follow the label and local rules.
• Safety: wear suitable protective equipment for the job, keep children and pets away from tools and treatments, and hire a qualified professional for electrical work, tree felling, structural work, gas work and storm-damaged trees.
• Local rules: water use, burning, pesticide use, tree work, fencing and rainwater collection are regulated differently in different places. Check your local rules before you start.
• Results vary: soil, climate, shade, drainage and plant variety all affect results. A method that works in one garden may not work in another.

If you are unsure about a job, stop and ask a qualified local professional. Your safety and your property come first.
